Can we use iOS native style for Qt applications?

Ibrahim

Hi; We can use Material Design, Universal Design and Default Style for mobile applications. Well, can we use iOS native style for mobile applications? Has Qt got iOS Style? Thanks.

Hi @Ibrahim

You forgot to tell us which version Of qt you have ,

I think that there is a change between qt4 and qt5 about QStyle , also i think that QMacStyle is available only on qt4

Could tell us which version of qt you have?

@Ibrahim

If you are in Qt5 you have to use QStyleFactory ,

Have a look at this link from qt doc:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstylefactory.html#details

Depending or operating system styles are available to find which styles are available you can add this line :

qDebug() << QStyleFactory::keys();

For example for my operating system i have these available styles:

("Windows", "Motif", "CDE", "Plastique", "GTK+", "Cleanlooks")

Then to set style for your application you can add this following line:

QApplication::setStyle(QStyleFactory::create("Plastique"));

for example !
Hope this can help !

@Ibrahim seems you're using Qt QuickControls2
Unfortunately there's no iOS Style yet - only Material, Universal, Default
As I understand it right, at the moment they're working on QQC2 to make controls feature complete. Then - later - there's a chance to get an iOS style too.
perhaps @jpnurmi can jump in and provide some insights ?

For my customers I'm using Google Material Style on Android and iOS. I implemented Bottom Navigation Bar where iOS users are looking to navigate through the app.
Also some fine-tuning like MixedCase Button titles.
I'm missing to swipe back to previous page
see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54043

my customers have no problem with Material style on iOS. but my use-cases are special: I'm developing business apps x-platform where similar navigation, UI/UX makes it easy to support and document apps.

Hi all!

As already mentioned above, Qt does not include an iOS style at the moment. If you are interested in creating apps with a native look and feel for both iOS and Android, have a look at V-Play Engine. The core components like Navigation and NavigationStack or controls like AppButton offer styles for both iOS and Android.

@GTDev thanks. I like Qt and V-Play.

@GTDev Hi Günther, am I right that V-Play examples are Open Source, but SDK, Plugins, ... are not ? (Haven't tried V-Play yet)

@ekkescorner @Ibrahim
Except for V-Play Plugins the SDK is free-to-use if you don't mind a small V-Play splash-screen at app startup.
All the examples and demos are open-source: You can see the showcase demo app for a quick overview of the V-Play features.
