\title Creating Qt Quick Projects
\image qmldesigner-new-project.png "New File or Project dialog"
When you create a new Qt Quick project from scratch, you have the following
options:
\list
\o \gui {Qt Quick Application} creates a Qt Quick application project
that can contain both QML and C++ code. The project includes a
QDeclarativeView. You can build the application and deploy it on
desktop and mobile target platforms.
You can select a template that uses either the built-in QML elements
or Qt Quick components for a particular platform. The built-in QML
elements enable you to create cross-platform applications with a
custom look and feel, whereas the components provide the look and
feel for a particular platform.
\o \gui {Qt Quick UI} creates a Qt Quick UI project with a single QML
file that contains the main view. You can review Qt Quick UI
projects in the QML Viewer and you need not build them. You do not
need to have the development environment installed on your
computer to create and run this type of projects.
\o \gui {Qt Quick Application (from Existing QML File)} converts
existing QML applications to Qt Quick application projects. This
enables you to run them from \QC and to deploy them to mobile
devices.
\o \gui {Custom QML Extension Plugin} (in the \gui Libraries category)
creates a C++ plugin that makes
it possible to offer extensions that can be loaded dynamically into
applications by using the QDeclarativeEngine class.
\endlist
\if defined(qcmanual)
\note Qt 4.7.3 supports Qt Quick 1.0 and Qt 4.7.4 supports Qt Quick 1.1. The
application wizards import Qt Quick 1.1, and therefore, you can use them
without changes if you target only platforms that run Qt 4.7.4 (such as
MeeGo or the desktop). If you also target platforms that run Qt 4.7.3
(such as Maemo), you must change the import statement to
import Qt Quick 1.0.
\endif
\section1 Creating Qt Quick UI Projects
\list 1
\o Select \gui {File > New File or Project > Applications >
Qt Quick UI > Choose}.
The \gui{Introduction and Project Location} dialog opens.
\image qmldesigner-new-ui-project-location.png "Introduction and Project Location dialog"
\o In the \gui Name field, give a name to the project.
Do not use spaces and special characters in the project name and
path.
\o In the \gui {Create in} field, enter the path for the project files.
For example, \c {C:\Qt\examples}. To select the path from a
directory tree, click \gui Browse.
\o Click \gui{Next}.
\image qmldesigner-new-ui-project-summary.png "Project Management dialog"
\o Review the project settings, and click \gui{Finish} to create the
project.
\endlist
\QC creates the following files:
\list
\o .qmlproject project file defines that all QML, JavaScript, and image
files in the project folder belong to the project. Therefore, you do
not need to individually list all the files in the project.
\o .qml file defines an element, such as a component, screen, or the
whole application UI.
\endlist
The \c import statement in the beginning of the .qml file specifies the
\l{http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qdeclarativemodules.html}{Qt modules} to
import. Each Qt module contains a set of default elements. Specify a version
to get the features you want.
To use JavaScript and image files in the application, copy them to the
project folder.
\section1 Creating Qt Quick Applications
\list 1
\o Select \gui {File > New File or Project > Applications >
Qt Quick Application (Built-in Elements) > Choose}.
\note We recommend that you use the \gui {Qt Quick Application for
MeeGo Harmattan} template when you develop for MeeGo Harmattan
devices.
The \gui{Introduction and Project Location} dialog opens.
\image qmldesigner-new-project-location.png "Introduction and Project Location dialog"
\o In the \gui Name field, give a name to the project.
Do not use spaces and special characters in the project name and
path.
\o In the \gui {Create in} field, enter the path for the project files.
For example, \c {C:\Qt\examples}. To select the path from a
directory tree, click \gui Browse.
\o Click \gui{Next}.
The \gui {Target Setup} dialog opens.
\image qmldesigner-new-project-qt-versions.png "Target Setup dialog"
\o Select build targets for your project,
and then click \gui{Next}.
\note If only one target is specified in \gui Tools > \gui Options >
\gui {Build & Run} > \gui Targets, this dialog is skipped.
The \gui {Mobile Options} dialog opens.
\image qmldesigner-new-app-project-mobile-options.png "Mobile Options dialog"
\o In the \gui {Orientation behavior} field, determine how the
application behaves when the orientation of the device display
rotates between portrait and landscape, and then click \gui Next.
\note This dialog opens only if you select \gui Maemo5
target in the \gui {Target Setup} dialog. On
Harmattan, the Qt Quick Components for MeeGo provide native-looking
rotation.
\o Click \gui Next.
The \gui {Harmattan Specific} dialog opens.
\image qmldesigner-new-project-harmattan-options.png "Harmattan Specific dialog"
\o In the \gui {Application icon} field, select the application
icon to use on Maemo or Harmattan targets, or use the default icon.
The \gui {Project Management} dialog opens.
\image qmldesigner-new-project-summary.png "Project Management dialog"
\o In the \gui {Add to project} field, you can add this project to
another project as a subproject.
\o In the \gui {Add to version control} field, you can add the project
to a version control system.
\o Click \gui Finish to create the project.
\endlist
\QC creates the necessary boilerplate files. Some of the files are
specific to the Maemo or MeeGo Harmattan platform.
\section1 Importing QML Applications
If you have existing QML applications that you want to run in \QC or deploy
to mobile devices, select the \gui {Qt Quick Application (from Existing QML
File)} template to import the main .qml file in your project.
\image qmldesigner-import-project.png "Select Existing QML File dialog"
All the other files in the project are automatically added to the
application project.
\QC adds references to the QML files to a project and creates the additional
files necessary for deploying applications to mobile devices.
