Overview of this book

Qt is a world-class framework, helping you to develop rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and multi-platform applications that run on all major desktop platforms and most mobile or embedded platforms. The framework helps you connect the dots across platforms and between online and physical experience. This book will help you leverage the fully-featured Qt framework and its modular cross-platform library classes and intuitive APIs to develop applications for mobile, IoT, and industrial embedded systems. Considerations such as screen size, device orientation changes, and small memory will be discussed. We will focus on various core aspects of embedded and mobile systems, such as connectivity, networking, and sensors; there is no IoT without sensors. You will learn how to quickly design a flexible, fast, and responsive UI that looks great. Going further, you will implement different elements in a matter of minutes and synchronize the UI elements with the 3D assets with high precision. You will learn how to create high-performance embedded systems with 3D/2D user interfaces, and deploy and test on your target hardware. The book will explore several new features, including Qt for WebAssembly. At the end of this book, you will learn about creating a full software stack for embedded Linux systems using Yocto and Boot to Qt for Device Creation.

Using touch input

Touch screens are ubiquitous these days. They are everywhere. While essential in a mobile phone or tablet, you can also get a laptop or desktop computer with one. Refrigerators and cars also commonly have touchscreens. Knowing how to utilize these in your Qt app is also essential.

On mobile phone and tablet platforms, touchscreen support comes from the system and is often built-in. If you are creating your own embedded device, you will most likely need to tell Qt how to use the touchscreen. Qt has support for various touchscreen systems on embedded devices.

QEvent

QEvent is the way to get access to the touch input events in C++. It comes through an event filter you can add to your application. There are a...
