Android menu without qml etc.

[huw_]

I have a presentation problem with using qmenubar, qmenu & qaction for an android tablet. Presently the menu "headers" appear within an options menu (the three box/bar icon located at the top right). However, once a particular menu "heading" has been selected the drop down menu appears in the top left of the screen.

I wish to keep things simple and do not want to get involved in adding further dependencies to things like qml. So, I am looking for a solution that uses standard C++ calls or passing details to setstylesheet.

Presently, I would be happy with solutions that relocates the dropdown menu adjacent to the "header" menu selected. I would be also interested to learn how to move the options icon (to the top left). I'm using qt creator 4.5/qt 5.10.

I see the same behaviour running this example: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquickcontrols-gallery-example.html

Is this deemed to be a standard style? Seems awkward to have menus jumping around. Perhaps this is a bug? I have the Android 27 sdk.

setNativeMenuBar(false) and using setStyleSheet() to modify menu font size enables a classic desktop presentation. Old, perhaps, but at least the menus appear where you expect them.

Still interested in the native remedy.

Hi,
for an easy native-styled Android menu (QML-based though), you can also have a look at V-Play Engine, which extends Qt and handles native features and styling for Android and iOS.

E.g. for a native styled Navigation, with the V-Play Navigation Components:

import VPlayApps 1.0

App {
  Navigation {
    NavigationItem {
      title: "Home"
      icon: IconType.home

      NavigationStack {
        Page { title: "Home" }
      }
    }

    NavigationItem {
      title: "Favorites"
      icon: IconType.star

      NavigationStack {
        Page { title: "Favorites" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Best,
