[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5] void blendRectTiled(Qul::PlatformInterface::DrawingDevice *buffer, const Qul::PlatformInterface::Rect &rect, Qul::PlatformInterface::Rgba32 color, void (*)() finish, void (*)(void *, int) invalidateCache)

Workaround for 2D accelerators that don't have a way to blend a color directly.

Blends color onto rect by filling an appropriately large buffer with the source color and used that buffer as a source, potentially doing multiple calls in order to tile the whole output rectangle.

buffer is the drawing device to blend onto. finish is called at the end of the blending operation. May be used to wait for asynchronous blending operations. If not required NULL should be given. invalidateCache will be called to allow invalidating caches for the allocated tile memory. If not required NULL should be given.

This function was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5.

[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5] void blendRectTiledAlphaMap(Qul::PlatformInterface::DrawingDevice *buffer, const Qul::PlatformInterface::Rect &rect, Qul::PlatformInterface::Rgba32 color, void (*)() finish, void (*)(void *, int) invalidateCache)

Workaround for 2D accelerators that don't have a way to blend a color directly.

Same as blendRectTiled, but uses DrawingEngine::blendAlphaMap

Useful when alpha map blending is accelerated, as some bandwidth is saved by not having to blend ARGB32.

Blends color onto rect by filling an appropriately large buffer with the source color and used that buffer as a source, potentially doing multiple calls in order to tile the whole output rectangle.

void PlatformInterface::deviceLinkBytesReceived(const uint8_t *data, int size)

Sends data received on the serial port further to decoding.

This function has to be called by the serial port receiver function when characters have been received from the host. data is the received data and size its length. This function will forward the data to Qul::Platform::DeviceLink::charsReceived.

See also Porting DeviceLink Communication.

[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 2.2] void error(unsigned int lineNumber, QulError code, int param1 = 0, int param2 = 0, int param3 = 0)

Reports error message to default or custom handler.

The default error handler prints error code, lineNumber, and additional param1, param2, and param3 to Qul::Platform::PlatformContext::consoleWrite.

The default handler halts the program after printing the error message, and enters an infinite loop to save the backtrace for debugging.

Calls the custom error handler if it has been set using Qul::setErrorHandler.

This function was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 2.2.

See also Error handling, Qt Quick Ultralite error codes, and QUL_ASSERT.

[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5] void handleKeyEvent(uint64_t timestamp, Qul::PlatformInterface::KeyEventType type, int key, uint32_t nativeScanCode = 0, unsigned int modifiers = NoKeyboardModifier, const char *textUtf8 = NULL, bool autoRepeat = false)

Handles key events

The received key events from the platform layer have to be passed to the core engine through this function. timestamp is the time at which the event occured. This is usually the time read from the platform's native timestamp function. type specifies whether this is a key press or a key release event. key is the actual key identifier, according to the Qul::PlatformInterface::Key enum values. nativeScanCode is a native scan code identifier, useful in combination with key value Qul::Key_unknown for custom platform specific keys. modifiers specifies which key modifiers are held down at the time of the key event, by using an or'ed combination of the Qul::PlatformInterface::KeyModifier values.

textUtf8 is a UTF-8 representation of the text that the key represents, useful for various international keyboard support. It should be left as NULL for control keys, or if full text input support is not desired (the key event delivered to QML will have an empty text property then, but it's still possible to choose actions based on the key and nativeScanCode values). autoRepeat specifies whether this is an auto-repeating key, it should be false if the event comes from an initial key press.

This function was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5.

See also Qul::Platform::PlatformContext::currentTimestamp.

[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5] void handleTouchCancelEvent(Qul::PlatformInterface::Screen *screen, uint64_t timestamp)

Cancels touch events

Cancels the touch events for screen. timestamp is the time at which the event occurred. This is usually the time read from the platform's native timestamp function. If screen is NULL the platform primary screen will be used.

This function was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5.

See also Qul::Platform::PlatformContext::currentTimestamp and Qul::Platform::PlatformContext::availableScreens.

[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5] void handleTouchEvent(Qul::PlatformInterface::Screen *screen, uint64_t timestamp, const Qul::PlatformInterface::TouchPoint *touchPoints, unsigned int numTouchPoints)

Handles touch events

The received touch events from the platform layer have to be passed to the core engine through this function. screen is the screen on which the touch event is issued. timestamp is the time at which the event occurred. This is usually the time read from the platform's native timestamp function. touchPoints and numTouchPoints contain the list of currently active touch points. The ownership of the touch points stays at the calling function. If screen is NULL the platform primary screen will be used.

This function was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5.

[since Qt Quick Ultralite (Platform) 1.5] void updateEngine(uint64_t timestamp)

    if (timestamp >= nextUpdate) {
        Qul::PlatformInterface::updateEngine(timestamp);
    } else {
        // Device could sleep until time in 'nextUpdate'.
        enterSleepMode(nextUpdate);
    }
}
