QtWidgets work on SailfishOS... for an arguable definition of work. You can compile, link and execute an application based on widgets, but you'll soon notice that you don't want to. Widgets require code to display themselves as the platform they are running on, and that code is not there on Sailfish. Even if this code could be added (it seems on Android is), that will only give you buttons that are of a reasonable size and of a reasonable color. Not much more. You'll soon to make a list, and notice that users will hate to have a list with a scrollbar instead of being flickable. If you skip the predefined widgets and you want to do your own, then can be fine, but only if you have some legacy code that you need to keep. > What I am trying to work on is an embedded linux app, using Qt, that is > fast to boot > and runs only one app, mine.

QtQuick is designed from the ground up to be extremely fast will all the eye candy. This example is from qtquick1 (which is still slower than QtQuick2 on Qt5): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr5FuGhTqm8 Doing that with QGraphicsView is doable, but much harder than this: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/declarative-ui-components-dialcontrol.html -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) | GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ | http://disperso.net _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
