Create a Qt Framework Application Using QML & Qt Quick SDK

Learn how to use QtQuick and QML to build a simple Qt Quick Controls application that is cross-platform out of the box.

Qt Quick is a cross-platform application development framework with a focus on mobile applications that remain desktop-friendly. In effect, an app written with QtQuick Controls can be deployed on Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux distributions without modifying the code.

QML is is a declarative markup language with a focus on UI development. QML itself is derived from JavaScript and runs atop a light weight JS engine. QtQuick enforces a JSON-like syntax but regular JavaScript function and syntax can be used.

Despite Qt & Qt Quick being fully cross-platform, Qt Creator was unable to locate my Linux distribution desktop theme. This is especially strange because the desktop I was using, KDE Plasma, is written entirely in Qt.

These programming videos are pretty fun. What kind of programming or development videos would you guys like to see next?

[achdumeineguete]

That's cool one in relaxing atmosphere - Cheers!

This guy explains this so well!!! It like listening to butter melt.

Hey, what KWin theme are you using? It looks super cool! And I love your video about Vala+Gtk... that was awesome!

Next video: Package that binary into a .deb or .rpm etc.

I still haven't figured out how to ship a dynamically linked binary so would greatly appreciate a video on it.

which theme are you using for windows decorations?

i'm using i3 on arch linux for a desktop environment (X11) and it opens the file dialog box in a separate floating window with a dialog I believe that is from GTK3 prob from using Nemo as a file manager or something.... is there a way to force it to open the dialog inside of the current window using only a specified dialog system so that you will be assured that what you see is what other users on any platform will see?

My QT Creator in NEON Kde is all mixed color white and dark. Setting theme to "Breeze Dark" makes all the apps dark theme except for some QT apps. I can't read text and use QT Creator because of it

qt have lots of qml modules which allow you to do more then just UI things. also you can write your own modules and load them in your qml code to do anything you want. so qml is not just a graphics writing language. i wrote a whole wallpaper downloader app (deskie), whole media player (kmusicplay) in qml alone though it took thousands lines of code .

How would I add a picture to my project? I don’t have any text edit, if that helps

[pfannkuchengesicht]

running qmake only creates the necessary files for the build like the actual makefile and some other stuff. Usually you shouldn't need to run it manually. Also if you want to distribute it you'd want to change the build profile to "release" so not to include debug symbols and also to make use of compiler optimizations

I'm currently developing an important desktop app, involving both graphics and text processing and i'm not sure if Qt for this task is a good choice over GTK. It's only winning point is that GTK on windows is terrible and maybe that GTK apps might look not very well on KDE. But it's so clear to see that Qt has a very different evolution over the last 10 years and is not targeting desktop apps anymore.

[ackz]

cool, I'll try to come up with ideas to implement

Absolutely THANK YOU for sim city 3000 music from jerry martin !!

I just moved to KDE from gnome and I should have done it a long time ago. Anyone who has not tried KDE in a while needs to to give a go. So far I can tell you that KDE and QT are miles ahead of GNOME and whatever they got going as far as design goes. KDE is tweakers paradise. I don't recommend it for new Linux users though. This caught my eye because I am wanting to know more about QT in general.

[henkhodryza]

I checked your Chanel no other videos about Qt

[MarcelRobitaille]

Is it bad practice to use the http hack?

[greob]

I've always wanted to start doing things with Qt, but never got the courage and time to do it. Now I feel motivated to get into it. Thanks, nice video!
By the way, the theme being jacked up could be fixed (maybe?) by using the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde... not sure but sometimes it happens when I use different DE's, gotta use qt5ct to fix these things too. It's a bit of a mess.

[spencerbrown]

Yeah, finding and configuring Qt on Ubuntu is a pain.
