cannot get network status changes with connectivity-api

[Lorn Potter]

Using Nexus 4, Ubuntu 15.04 (r330) (rc-proposed)

The bearer plugin that uses connectivity-api used to work (ubuntu touch) back in November :
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/140752/

It still compiles, but now I get:

2016-01-06T13:28:29 (unknown:0) - QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'Status'
(Make sure 'Status' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)

at the first time the next status changes.

I also tried the connectivity-api example (after fixing up network-status.h include path)
https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-14.10/cplusplus/connectivity-api/networking-status.html

and never receive network status change signal.

Just tried the qml example found here:
https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04/Ubuntu.Connectivity.NetworkingStatus/

Main.qml:27:5: QML Connections: Cannot assign to non-existent property "onStatusChanged"

shows "Not online" when I am connected.

For at least the c++ example, it seems the example code connect call should be at least:

    QObject::connect(ns.data(),
                     &NetworkingStatus::statusChanged,
                     [=](NetworkingStatus::Status value)

[Lorn Potter (lorn-potter)]

 calling something like this:
    QObject::connect(ns.data(),
                     &NetworkingStatus::statusChanged,
                     this, &QUbuntuEngine::networkStatusChanged);
still does not work.

In networking-status.h, the signal should be declared as:

void statusChanged(NetworkingStatus::Status value);

I looked at the code, and I could not find any tests for the public connectivity-api (network-status.h)
