Hi Gabriel
There are several ways of passing data between Cover and rest of app (or
any components). You can try using app global object ids or javascript
files with .pragma library and gloval [to them] variables or inject global
objects from C++ via setContextProperty().
The way I like doing it is to keep shared object in main.qml and pass it to
pages/covers at the moment of instantiation the following way:
========
ApplicationWindow
{
id: app
property string sharedValue: "whatever you want to share to cover"
initialPage: Component {
MainPage {
torch: app.sharedValue
}
}
cover: Component {
CoverPage {
torch: app.sharedValue
}
}
}
========
I hope if helps.
Cheers,
Artem.
