Qqmlapplicationengine refuse to show me something

[hagenkaiser]

Hi all,
Just checked out qt51rc1.
I tried to use qqmlapplicationengine to show a qml file. It seems the application runs silently without showing anything.

I did it very simple:
in c++
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
// QtQuick2ApplicationViewer viewer;
// viewer.setMainQmlFile(QStringLiteral("qml/QMLApplication/main2.qml"));
// viewer.showExpanded();

QQmlApplicationEngine engine("qml/QMLApplication/main2.qml");
return app.exec();

}

I qml:
import QtQuick 2.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.0

Rectangle
{
width: 640
height: 480
Button {
text: qsTr("Hello World")
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
}
}

If I use the commented out viewer it works.
But Id like to use an ApplicationWindow instead of a Rectangle as root item.
Am I missing something or is this just a bug in qt5.1?
Cheers and thx to everyone

Same problem. No solution yet, sorry.

Window and ApplicationWindow is not visible by default. I suspect you simply have to set visible:true in your window definition

Ah that did the trick! Quite confusing that it doesn't need it with QtQuick2ApplicationViewer, but never mind.

That's just shocking. The examples given for ApplicationWindow e.g. "this example":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-stable/qtquickcontrols/qtquickcontrols-overview.html don't mention this.

This just bit me too, can someone add a note to http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qqmlapplicationengine.html that mentions it?

Hi,

Can you provide a minimal example for the note ?
