    \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 Style

    Qt 5.4 introduced a native Android style for Qt Quick Controls.

    \note The Android style requires Android 3.0 (API level 11) or later.

    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
