Hide instead of Quit

Hi everyone,

I'm developing an application in Qt with C++ and QML, and I'm testing with a Nokia 5800.

I want to hide the app instead of quit it when you click a button. I mean, I want to let it still be loaded while you are again in the menu screen of the phone. I saw this in the Contacts OVI app and in Whatsapp but I couldn't make it.

Any idea? I tried with QmlApplicationViewer::hide but then I can not open it again.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like something that is phone specific API. Perhaps you will have more luck getting a good answer on this one in Forum Nokia.

You can do it with Symbian API:
