Overview of this book

Qt 5.7 is an application development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full-capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. This book will address challenges in successfully developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework. Cross-platform development needs a well-organized project. Using this book, you will have a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools to resolve serious issues such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. Your journey will start with the new Qt 5 features. Then you will explore different platforms and learn to tame them. Every chapter along the way is a logical step that you must take to master Qt. The journey will end in an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../gallery-core/ -lgallery-core 
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../gallery-core 
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../gallery-core 
 
contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,x86) { 
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \ 
        $$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS]/libQt5Sql.so 
} 

Please notice that we made several changes here:

  • We added the sql module to deploy the dependency on your mobile device

  • We added the svg module for the button icons

  • The qml.qrc file has been renamed in gallery.qrc

  • We linked the gallery-core library

  • By default, the sql shared object (libQt5Sql.so) will not be deployed on your Android x86 device. You have to explicitly...
