C++ Extensions: Image Provider Example
How to load images in QML with QQuickImageProvider.
This example shows how to use QQuickImageProvider to serve images to QML Image items, and how to package it into a QQmlEngineExtensionPlugin which is detected and loaded at runtime. The plugin is then a reusable component that can be installed into a system-wide location for use by multiple applications.
It can be built and tested like this:
$ qt-cmake .
$ cmake --build .
$ qml -I . imageprovider-example.qmlAlternatively, a QQuickImageProvider intended for use in only one application can simply be instantiated in main.cpp as documented.
