Detailed Description

This QML item can be used as the root item in your QML application. In doing so, you enable your application to be usable in both single-process (EGL fullscreen, desktop) and multi-process (Wayland) mode. It inherits from Window in multi-process and from Item in single-process mode. In contrast to a Window it is visible by default. Additional details can be found in the section about the root element.

The QML import for this item is

import QtApplicationManager.Application 2.0

After importing, you can instantiate the QML item like so:

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtApplicationManager.Application 2.0

ApplicationManagerWindow {
    Text {
        text: ApplicationInterface.applicationId
    }
}

In order to make your applications easily runnable outside of the application manager, even though you are using a ApplicationManagerWindow as a root item, you can simply provide this little dummy import to your application.

1. Pick a base dir and create a QtApplicationManager.Application directory in it
2. Add a file named qmldir there, consisting of the single line ApplicationManagerWindow 2.0 ApplicationManagerWindow.qml
3. Add a second file named ApplicationManagerWindow.qml, with the following content

   import QtQuick 2.0
   
   Item {
       width: 1280   // use your screen width here
       height: 600   // use your screen height here
   
       function close() {}
       function showFullScreen() {}
       function showMaximized() {}
       function showNormal() {}
   }

Now you can run your appication within qmlscene (or qml) with e.g. qmlscene -I <path to base dir>
