[Solved] Making a swipeable panel with buttons on top

benlau

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean to set drag property on buttons over the panel? Seem to be quite troublesome becoz it may have multiple buttons on it and you need to set per button.

No I dont mean that, I mean set the drag property on the panel itself.
If I understood you correctly you have a panel with buttons that is on a z order above the main window, the panel is hidden to the user because it's moved to the left of the main window. Clicking on some button will make it move it to the right making it visible.
Now to dismiss it, you swipe it to left, and it moves accordingly, because you set a drag property, the pitfall is that when the user stops the swipe, the panel stops moving. Thats when you fire an animation, using the release property of the "swipe", to make the panel fully hidden. I have done this before and it works like a charm. Note that you have to prevent the swipe from moving the panel further to the right and make sure the "hidding" animation is only fired if the swipe is done to the left.

oh, I just find that MouseArea has "drag.filterChildren" property. That is prefect. Your solution works! Thank you!

If you don't mind can you please post the working piece of code? Thanks

Take a look to this sample code

@BlackDal
Thanks a lot Man!!! But it is littlebit different from the requirement
alt text .
In your example 1)It is not hiding completely. 2) It is based on the button pressed events. How can i make them based on swipe events? thanks a lot. @benlau Please post the piece of code if you don'T mind Thanks.

@benlau
Thanks a lot. What i didn't understand is
what is

Activity{
I can see a qml file here. Can you please describe me what it does? I mean its purpose.
* BottomSheet {
I didn't find any qml file. so no idea what it does. thanks

@vishnu That's an uncompleted project and has so much dirty codes (Excuse me)
This sample has a right to left swipe menu, You can convert to left-to-right. and extract required code and classes from sample.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
It says error at ToojQmlHelper::registerQmlTypes(&engine); and ended with 422 issues.
like this
Any idea how to solve this? I tried with Qt5.5, 5.4, 5.2. Everythings resulted the same.

Checkout this. Include path problem fixed.

@BlackDal
Sorry to say this but same errors at
ToojQmlHelper::registerQmlTypes(&engine);
ToojQmlHelper::initFonts(&engine);
should i add something to pro file or some settings ?

Hamed.Masafi

You are right. There was a problem in the MSVC compiling that was solved.
I'm so sorry for this fail.

@BlackDal
perfect. Thanks a lot but small error i found.

qrc:/Page1.qml:14:19: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString
qrc:/main.qml:46: TypeError: Property 't' of object Units_QMLTYPE_0(0x2a94b238) is not a function
QSGThreadedRenderLoop: expose event received for window MainWindow_QMLTYPE_86(0x29f0ab28) with invalid geometry: QRect(1920,332 640x360) on QScreen(0x265deac8)
qrc:///tooj/qml/Tooj/App/MainWindow.qml:122:16: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString

Also, for some reason its work perfect on windows but on android the swipe function is little bit draggy and needs 2 or 3 time to swipe. just to inform you. Thanks a lot.

Hamed.Masafi

Thanks for bug reporting.
As I said this is a little and incomplete source. As you can see this sample has menu button, fontawesome and some small components. This is part of a library for mobile-first QtQuick applications and games. I will release this library in next months. I guess drag bug relate to dpi calculation (Units components has some unfinished tasks).

Please switch to "DEV" branch. BottomSheet is not available at master branch yet.

Activity is a page of UI. You may just ignore it.

There also has a daily build for Android, you may try if you have an Android device.

Here is another very simple example with a nice animation that works how of the box:

import QtQuick 2.4

Rectangle {
    id: root
    width: 400
    height: 380
    color: "yellow"

    Rectangle {
        id: panel
        width: parent.width * 0.8
        height: parent.height * 0.8
        radius: 20
        color: "orange"
        MouseArea {
            id: mouseArea
            anchors.fill: parent
            drag.target: panel
            drag.minimumY: 0
            drag.maximumY: 0
            drag.minimumX: -panel.width
            drag.maximumX: 0
            onReleased: {
                //if the panel is swiped more than 30% it will hide
                //else it will go back to the original position
                //this makes a pretty nice effect :)
                if (panel.x < -panel.width * 0.3) {
                    //we need to make sure that a state change happens to
                    //fire the transition animation
                    root.state = "show"
                    root.state = "hide"
                }
                else {
                    root.state = "hide"
                    root.state = "show"
                }
            }
        }
        onXChanged: {
            console.log(x)
        }
    }

    Rectangle {
        id: button
        width: 45
        height: width
        radius: 5
        color: "lightblue"
        anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
        anchors.left: parent.left
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                root.state = root.state === "show" ? "hide" : "show"
            }
        }
    }

    state: "show"
    states: [
        State {
            name: "hide"
            PropertyChanges { target: panel; x: -panel.width }
        },
        State {
            name: "show"
            PropertyChanges { target: panel; x: 0 }
        }
    ]

    transitions: Transition {
        NumberAnimation {
            target: panel
            property: "x"
            duration: 1000
            easing.type: Easing.OutCubic
        }
    }
}
