[SOLVED]QtMobility in QML

cmer4

I spent some time now trying to figure out the logic in utilizing QtMobility in QML code.
Issue is:

I have final SDK version installed "by default"
once I add the line "import QtMobility.location 1.1" the app simply fails to run in QML Viewer with error "module "QtMobility.location" is not installed"

I thought the SDK is like "ready-to-go" but it seems it needs some manual setting up in order to make it QtMobility ready?

I read some stuff here: "Qt Mobility Installation Guide":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/installation.html

So do I really need to have all those ActionPerl etc installed on my Windows PC in order to make the module work?

User Journey is really weird in this case;(

SOLUTION:

just add: import QtMobility.location 1.1 into the beginning of your qml
add to pro file (you will see commented reference there):
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY += location
now re-build the project (q-make)

This works for Simulator only, seems like desktop emulator is not meant to be supporting Qt Mobility.

I had a similar problem earlier. Did you start it as a QML project?

If you did, have a look in your project file (*.qmlproject). If it has the line "import QmlProject 1.0" change it to "import QmlProject 1.1"

Let me know if that works.

Hey thank for your reply.
I am currently working in Qt Quick UI project (not an app) - maybe that's the reason?

I tried to do as suggested straghtforwardly changing the version to 1.1 as you mentioned above - the project fails to load with the following messages:

c:/qtsdk/symbian/sdks/symbian1qt473/mkspecs/symbian-abld/qmake.conf(8): 'option' is not a recognized test function
c:/qtsdk/symbian/sdks/symbian3qt473/mkspecs/symbian-sbsv2/qmake.conf(8): 'option' is not a recognized test function
Error while loading project file!

Hmm, On further investigation the "fix" i suggested is only needed if you're running Qt Creator 2.2 with the Qt SDK 1.1 . As I assume you're using the Creator version that came with the SDK you will need to change it back.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm but if I am not targetting to release the app in nearest 3-4 months - maybe it makes sense for me to switch to 2.2??:)

I have installed 2.2 - basically same issue - module not found.
So I bet I still need to do everything listed in the installation guide.

Question that I have is - is it realistic to achieve working with QMLviewer and QtMobility elements?

me too facing the same problem. i am getting "QtMobility.location" not installed, but i have followed all the steps given in installation guide.

cmer4's solution worked for me. Mobility doesn't seem to work in the desktop mode (it's not mobile, go figure), but it works perfect when I build for Android.

I bet there is a way to make Mobility work for desktop though...
