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.

Defining data classes


We are building our gallery from the ground up. We will start with the implementation of our data classes to be able to properly write the database layer. The application aims to organize pictures into albums. Hence, the two obvious classes are Album and Picture. In our example, an album simply has a name. A Picture class must belong to an Album class and has a file path (the path on your filesystem where the original file is located).

The Album class has already been created on project creation. Open the Album.h file and update it to include the following implementation:

#include <QString> 
 
#include "gallery-core_global.h" 
 
class GALLERYCORESHARED_EXPORT Album 
{ 
public: 
    explicit Album(const QString& name = ""); 
 
    int id() const; 
    void setId(int id); 
    QString name() const; 
    void setName(const QString& name); 
 
private: 
    int mId; 
    QString mName; 
}; 

As you can see, the Album class contains only a mId variable (the database...
