+ \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
