+    \title Qt Quick Controls Platform Notes
+    \brief Platform specific notes for Qt Quick Controls.
+
+    This page contains platform specific notes for creating applications
+    that use \l{Qt Quick Controls}.
+
+    \section1 Android
+
+    Qt 5.4 introduced a native Android style for Qt Quick Controls.
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-android.png
+
+    \note The Android style requires Android 3.0 (API level 11) or later.
+
+    No special actions are required to use the Android style. It is
+    automatically selected and deployed on Android. See \l{Getting Started
+    with Qt for Android} and \l{Deploying an Application on Android} for
+    more details on the Android essentials.
+
+    \section2 Action Bar
+
+    The \l{http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html}
+    {Action Bar} is a special Android control that provides many key features
+    including various navigation modes, actions, an options menu, a back
+    button, and also displays the application icon and title.
+
+    Unlike \l{Qt Widgets}, Qt Quick Controls do not use the native action
+    bar on Android. ToolBar and MenuBar are offered as a cross-platform
+    replacement. They are unified to a single "action bar" when assigned to
+    the appropriate ApplicationWindow properties.
+
+    The advantage of a non-native ToolBar is that it can contain any child
+    items declared in QML. Just to name a few possibilities:
+    \list
+    \li ToolButton actions,
+    \li A TextField as a search field,
+    \li A ComboBox for navigation, and
+    \li A ProgressBar for displaying progress.
+    \endlist
