IOS, iPad and Qt4iOS FAQ ?

JDGascuel

Hello,

Is there a FAQ or a Wiki somewhere about Qt4iOS ?

I'am starting porting my App to Qt4iOS, and have a series of questions that everyone should have tackle already:

How to support automatic rotation ?

Ian says this is automatic.While in my case, the QMainWindow won't rotate, what should I do ?

I tried QGraphicsWidgetProxy, it is indeed capable of rotating widgets (but fixing origin is not so obvious...)

How to detect rotation ?

QOrientationSensor ? Any code example (including link procedure) ?

How to get an iPad-look ?

I tried QMacStyle, but it is not available outside Mac...

What is the best way(s) to adapt the UI to iPhone/iPhone retina/iPad/iPad retina screen ?

A stylesheet in screen dependent units is part of the answer. Eg. "* {font: 6pt }"

Does not work for anything which is not a font (eg. button size), where I should use screen units, and change it according to the display.

How to adapt to Portrait/Landscape ? Is a template a good solution ?

@ template <class ui> class MyWindow : public QDialog, public ui { ... } ;
...
if( orientation == topUp || orientation == bottomUp )
return new MyWindow<ui_Portrait>;
else
return new MyWindow<ui_Lanscape>;@

Any chance to have the full build from QtCreator ?
