[SailfishDevel] Pass data from MainPage into CoverPage

2013-06-02 Thread Michael Faro-Tusino
Hi guys, This is a very beginner question I know, but still having some troubles. I am trying to create a Cover Page for my app, that uses information from the Main Page (note: this is not main.qml but MainPage.qml). I've attempted to set up property aliases like so: //main.qml import QtQuick

Hi Martin "so it's quite useful" is classic British understatement: it hits the nail on the head! in Swiss German Mundart I would mutter something along the lines of "Nägel mit Köpf machen!" From years of leading teams of developers I am painfully aware of the ability of at least one to s

Hello, You are not forced to use Silica to develop your application. You can, for example, use your custom components (based on QtQuick default components, like Rectangle or Text), to draw some of the UI. For example, you can draw a white background by doing Page { Rectangle {
