In recent years, a lot has been happening to improve performance, maintainability and tooling of QML. Some of those improvements can only take full effect when your code follows modern best practices. Here are 10 things you can do in order to modernize your QML code and take full advantage of QML’s capabilities. 1. Use […]
Curious about how to programmatically instantiate arbitrary QML components? Explore a pure QML implementation of the factory pattern with this blog series. In part 3, we evaluate a technique for anchoring nested components, and how to mitigate the risk for remote code execution.
Did you know you can programmatically instantiate arbitrary QML components? Dive into a pure QML implementation of the factory pattern with this blog series. In part 2, we explore techniques for laying out the nested components, and learn about the quirks behind QML's Loader.
Recently I was tasked to come up with an architecture for remote real time instantiation and updating of arbitrary QML components. This entry shows how you can use a simple variation of the factory method pattern in QML for instantiating arbitrary components. I’ve split my findings into 3 blog entries, each one covering a slightly […]
With the Qt WebEngine module, Qt makes it possible to embed a webview component inside an otherwise native application. Under the hood, Qt WebEngine uses the Chromium browser engine, currently the de facto standard engine for such use cases. While the task of writing a brand new standard-compliant browser engine is infamous as being almost […]
The Need for Simple & Modular QR Generation in QML Recently, our designer Nuno Pinheiro needed to generate QR codes for an Android app in QML and started asking around about a simple way to do this. The best existing QML solution was QZXing, a Qt/QML wrapper for the 1D/2D barcode image processing library ZXing. […]
An overview of QML related blogs and video tutorials for all levels from beginner to advanced. Includes material for getting started, qt creator, development, tools, graphics and other in-depth topics.
For cases where just viewing the text is enough, we walk you through what we tried in order to resolve an issue with masses of text in QML. We are not talking about a general solution, but a specific case that we encountered during a customer project.
There are a few small, and sometimes already quite old, features in Qt that, when combined, can be a very nice way to deal with assets in your QML application — especially if some of them live on the file system, some in a resource, and some may need localization or translation. Let’s dive in! […]
At KDAB, we have been investigating how to integrate Rust with Qt in a safe and idiomatic way. The solution we are currently working on is called CXX-Qt. It’s available in the GitHub and on crates.io. This blog post discusses the journey of CXX-Qt — where it started, where it can be used right now, […]
