Building and deploying the example

See specific steps relating to building and deploying Qt for Android Automotive examples.

Overview

This example shows how to create a Qt Quick application that uses the User Profiles functionality from the QtAndroidAutomotive.Base module.

Including the API

To use the User Profiles in QML, first, we have to import the QtAndroidAutomotive.Base module:

import QtAndroidAutomotive.Base

Accessing the current user name

To read the current user information it is enough to access the currentUser property of the AndroidUserProfiles singleton object:

Text {
    text: AndroidUserProfiles.currentUser.userName
    height: labelHeight
    font.pixelSize: fontPixelSize
}

Invoking the User Properties view

Another feature of the API is showing the User Properties view, where the user can change the name.

Button {
    width: buttonWidth
    height: buttonHeight
    anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
    text: qsTr("Show User Properties view")
    font.pixelSize: fontPixelSize
    onClicked: AndroidUserProfiles.showUserPropertiesView()
}

Invoking the User Switch view

The API also offers the option of showing the User Switch view, where the current user can be changed.

Button {
    width: buttonWidth
    height: buttonHeight
    anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
    text: qsTr("Show User Switcher view")
    font.pixelSize: fontPixelSize
    onClicked: AndroidUserProfiles.showUserSwitcherView()
}
