How to dynamically add map objects to QML MAP element? Or how to create customised Map widget?

Conny,

Thaks again for your help. I resolved the issue.

I'm checking mapObjects boundingBox and check if contains clicked coordinate.

Sounds like a good work-around. Very nice!

Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I have also decided to give qml a try and of course are running into the same issues. I have started to make a minimal demo app from conny's example and would like to setup a wiki page or similar as i think we should document this a little bit, so others can re-use this.

harabaum,

Please post link here, when u are done with demo :)

Ok, "here":http://wiki.meego.com/QML/QGraphicsGeoMap is the wiki page. Please contribute your findings and let's try to make this into a small complete guide for this. I e.g. found that the map doesn't scale when the window size changes.

Thanks Till,
what problems do you have with scaling? If I anchor the map to the QML root item and then scale the window the map size is increased. What's the result you get?

[harbaum]

The map just doesn't scale with the window. These are my very first minutes with qml, so i may just be missing something. What do you e.g. mean by anchoring? Would you mind changing the appropriate parts in the wiki page?

[conny]

Ah ok, just try this:

@
Rectangle {
id: page
anchors.fill: parent

Map {
anchors.fill: parent
}
}
@

Ok, now you won't see the rectangle anymore, but you get the point.

[conny]

Also you might need the following in main.cpp:
@
view.setResizeMode(QDeclarativeView::SizeRootObjectToView);
@

That will always scale the root QML item to the size of the QDeclarativeView.

Thanks, Conny. With these two changes, the map scales nicely!

And feel free to do changes/extensions to the wiki yourself :-)
