    This plugin is loaded in EventProcessor's constructor, which is called from ActivityManager's contructor, so we have a chicken and egg problem here. The plugin needs ActivityManager to list activities but the ActivityManager's constructor has not finished to run when the plugin tries to use it.

    According to Qt's documentation you should use asyncCall here instead of asyncCallWithArgumentList.

    same here. Besides, callWithArgumentList is synchronous and since you do not care about the returned valued then it's better change this to asynchronous call.
