– Same dev experience for all platforms
• Development
– One-click deployment to desktop, iOS, Android, WP
– Syntax highlighting, autocompletion
– UI Designer
– Static code analyser

Start: Application UI
C++ QML / JavaScript
HTML / JavaScript / CSS Other
QWidgets QPainter
OpenGLQtWebengine
All these can be mixed in
the same app if needed
Qt Quick Qt Quick Controls
48. QWidgets
• UI Elements (QLabel, QPushButton, etc.)
– Use platform UI design
– Support style sheets
– Drag & drop UI designer
48 Qt App Development v6.0.0 January 27, 2015 © 2015 Andreas Jakl mopius.com
Great for desktop.
Static layouts make effects difficult.
Small UI, different interaction paradigms.
49. QPainter
• Low level 2D paining engine
– Forms, gradients, transparency, transforms
– QGraphicsView: scene graph for 2D scene
management
49 Qt App Development v6.0.0 January 27, 2015 © 2015 Andreas Jakl mopius.com
Well-known concepts
Full and direct control over appearance
No ready-made common UI components available
Development focus on Qt Quick
50. Qt Quick
• Qt Quick
– QML language and JavaScript
– Declarative syntax, animations and states
– Drag & drop UI designer
50 Qt App Development v6.0.0 January 27, 2015 © 2015 Andreas Jakl mopius.com
Very easy to make slick, fluid UIs.
Most important for mobile devices!
Still different UI controls for some platforms (Blackberry)
* Project page: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCOMPONENTS
51. Qt Quick Controls
51 Qt App Development v6.0.0 January 27, 2015 © 2015 Andreas Jakl mopius.com
• QML UI controls
– Native look and feel
– Custom design: Style API
• Layout managers
52. OpenGL
• Low level
– Basic setup provided by Qt
– Includes OpenGL ES 3.0 / 3.1
– Or: integration with QtQuick
52 Qt App Development v6.0.0 January 27, 2015 © 2015 Andreas Jakl mopius.com
Complete control over GL
Good if you have existing codebase & assets, cross-platform
Pure OpenGL is hard work
Angry Birds and Bounce
by Rovio
53. Qt Webengine
• Open source browser engine
– Display HTML(5) and JavaScript
– Combine Qt QML / C++ and web code if needed to get best of both worlds
• Qt WebView: embed native web view on Android & iOS
53 Qt App Development v6.0.0 January 27, 2015 © 2015 Andreas Jakl mopius.com
Use your existing web skills to create the UI
Reuse web components (online help, etc.)
Complex UIs and interaction probably more difficult
Less performance than native code (but improving)

• Describe UI by tree structure of
property bindings
– Properties dynamically
evaluated
– Communication through
signals & slots
– Bindings to C++ code
possible
– Animate properties using
states and transitions

– Interact with

– Execute JavaScript in
signal handlers

• Qt Quick Controls
– Native-looking UI

– Custom styling possible
– Not 100% cross-platform
