Portable QML app using Qt Component

luca

Hi all,
I'd like to use Qt Component in a QML application that I also use in a Linux Desktop.

The main.qml for Desktop start with:
@
import QtQuick 1.1
Item
{
id: window
signal effettuaLogin(string nome, string password)

Rectangle {
    id: root

...
...

@

while the same main file for N9 should start with:
@
import QtQuick 1.1

import com.nokia.meego 1.1

PageStackWindow {
id: window

signal effettuaLogin(string nome, string password)

Rectangle {
    id: root

...
...
@

The problem is that the N9 version doesn't compile for Linux Desktop. This way I must keep two different main file for different platform.

Is there a way to use the same main for both platform?

Not really. You can use a bootstrap main.qml which basically reads a context object property (eg, "isDesktop" or something) which you set in your C++ entrypoint, and based on that value, dynamically loads either one or the other file.

eg, something like:

@
// platform-independent main qml, which loads platform-specific main qml.
import QtQuick 1.1

Item {
Loader {
id: loader
}

Component.onCompleted: {
    if (contextObject.isDesktop) {
        loader.setSource("desktopmain.qml");
    } else {
        loader.setSource("n9main.qml");
    }
}

}
