    \title Creating a Mobile Application

    This tutorial describes developing Qt Quick applications for Android and iOS
    devices using Qt Quick Controls.
    We use \QC to implement a Qt Quick application
    that accelerates an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image based on the
    changing accelerometer values.

    For more information about the UI choices you have, see \l{User Interfaces}.

    \section1 Setting up the Development Environment

    To be able to build the application for and run it on a mobile device, you must
    set up the development environment for the device platform and configure a
    connection between \QC and the mobile device.

    To develop for Android devices, you must install \l{Qt for Android}
    and set up the development environment, as instructed in
    \l{Connecting Android Devices}.

    To develop for iOS devices, you must install Xcode and use it to configure
    a device. For this, you need an Apple developer account and iOS Developer
    Program certificate that you receive from Apple. For more information, see
    \l{Connecting iOS Devices}.

    \section1 Creating the Accelbubble Main View

    The main view of the application displays an SVG bubble image that moves
    around the screen when you tilt the device.

    We use \e {Bluebubble.svg} in this tutorial, but you can use any other
    image or component, instead.

    To create the UI in \l{Form Editor}:

    \list 1

        \li Open the \e main.qml in \uicontrol {Form Editor}.

        \li In \l Library > \uicontrol Components >
            \uicontrol {Default Components} > \uicontrol Basic, select
            \uicontrol Rectangle and drag-and-drop it to \e Window
            in \l Navigator.

        \li Select the rectangle instance in \uicontrol Navigator to edit its
            properties in \l Properties:

            \image qtquick-mobile-app-tutorial-main-view.png "Rectangle in different views"

            \list a

                \li In the \uicontrol ID field enter \e mainWindow, to be able
                    to reference the rectangle from other places.

                \li Select the \uicontrol Layout tab, and then click
                    the \inlineimage icons/anchor-fill.png
                    (\uicontrol {Fill to Parent}) button to anchor the rectangle
                    to the window.

            \endlist

                \li Select \uicontrol Library > \uicontrol Assets >
                    \inlineimage plus.png
                    to locate Bluebubble.svg (or your own image) and add it to
                    the project folder.
                \li Drag and drop the image from \uicontrol Assets to
                    \e mainWindow in \uicontrol Navigator. \QC creates an
                    instance of an \l{Images}{Image} component for you
                    with the path to the image file set as the value of
                    the \uicontrol Source field in \uicontrol Properties.

        \li In the \uicontrol Properties view, \uicontrol ID field, enter
            \e bubble to be able to reference the image from other places.

            \image qtquick-mobile-app-tutorial-image.png "Image file in different views"

        \li Select the \inlineimage icons/alias.png
            (\uicontrol Export) button in \uicontrol Navigator to export
            \e mainWindow and \e bubble as properties.

    \endlist

    We want to modify the properties of the bubble in ways that are not
    supported in \uicontrol {Form Editor}, and therefore we turn it into
    a custom component:

    \list 1

        \li Right-click the image and select
            \uicontrol {Move Component into Separate File}.

            \image qtquick-mobile-app-tutorial-bubble-component.png

        \li In the \uicontrol {Component name} field, enter \e Bubble.

        \li Deselect the \uicontrol x and \uicontrol y check boxes,
            because we want to use the accelerometer to determine
            the location of the bubble on the screen.

        \li Select \uicontrol OK to create \e Bubble.qml.

    \endlist

    \QC creates an instance of the Bubble component in \e main.qml.

    To check your code, you can compare your \e main.qml and
    \e {Bubble.qml} with the corresponding example files.

    The UI is now ready and you can add the necessary properties for
    making the bubble move.

    \section1 Moving the Bubble

    We add custom properties to position the image in respect to the width
    and height of the main window.

    \list 1
        \li Open \e Bubble.qml in \uicontrol {Form Editor}.
        \li In \l {Connection View} > \uicontrol Properties,
            select the \inlineimage plus.png
            button to add a custom property for the Bubble component.
            \image qtquick-mobile-app-tutorial-custom-properties.png "Connection View Properties tab"
        \li Double-click the value in the \uicontrol Property column, and enter
            \e centerY as the name of the property.
        \li Double-click the value in the \uicontrol {Property Type} column,
            and select \e real as the component of the property. You will specify
            the property value later in \uicontrol Properties.
        \li Add two more properties of the same type with the names \e centerY
            and \e bubbleCenter.
        \li Open \e main.qml in \uicontrol {Form Editor}.
        \li Select \e bubble in \uicontrol Navigator to specify values for the
            custom properties in \uicontrol Properties.
        \li In the \uicontrol X field, select \inlineimage icons/action-icon.png
            , and then select \uicontrol {Set Binding} to open
            \uicontrol {Binding Editor}.
            \image qtquick-mobile-app-tutorial-binding-editor1.png "Setting binding for X in Binding Editor"
        \li Enter the following value to center the bubble horizontally in the
            main window when the application starts:
            \c{bubble.centerX - bubbleCenter}.
        \li Select \uicontrol OK to close the binding editor and save the
            binding.
        \li In the \uicontrol X field, set the following binding to center the
            bubble vertically: \c{bubble.centerY - bubbleCenter}.
        \li In the \uicontrol centerY field, enter the following value to bind
            the y coordinate of the bubble center to half the height of the main
            window: \c {mainWindow.height /2}.
            \image qtquick-mobile-app-tutorial-binding-editor.png "Setting binding for centerX"
        \li In the \uicontrol centerX field, bind the x coordinate of
            the bubble center to half the width of the main window:
            \c {mainWindow.width /2}.
        \li In the \uicontrol bubbleCenter field, bind the center of
            the bubble to half of its width: \c {bubble.width /2}.
    \endlist

    We now want to add code to move the bubble based on Accelerometer sensor
    values. This is not supported by \l {Form Editor}, so we will do
    it in \l {Text Editor}:

    \list 1
        \li Add the following import statement to \e main.qml:

            \quotefromfile accelbubble/main.qml
            \skipto QtSensors
            \printline QtSensors

        \li Add the \l{Accelerometer} component with the necessary properties:

            \skipto Accelerometer
            \printuntil radians_to_degrees
            \skipto }
            \printuntil }

        \li Add the following JavaScript functions that calculate the
            x and y position of the bubble based on the current Accelerometer
            values:

            \quotefromfile accelbubble/main.qml
            \skipto function
            \printuntil Math.atan2(x
            \printuntil }

        \li Add the following JavaScript code for \c onReadingChanged signal of
            Accelerometer component to make the bubble move when the Accelerometer
            values change:

            \quotefromfile accelbubble/main.qml
            \skipto onReadingChanged
            \printuntil }

            We want to ensure that the position of the bubble is always
            within the bounds of the screen. If the Accelerometer returns
            \e {not a number} (NaN), the value is ignored and the bubble
            position is not updated.
        \li Add \l SmoothedAnimation behavior on the \c x and \c y properties of
            the bubble to make its movement look smoother.

            \quotefromfile accelbubble/main.qml
            \skipto Behavior
            \printuntil x
            \printuntil }
            \printuntil }
     \endlist

     \section1 Locking Device Orientation

     The device display is rotated by default when the device orientation
     changes between portrait and landscape. For this example, it would be
     better for the screen orientation to be fixed.

    To lock the orientation to portrait or landscape on Android, specify it in
    an AndroidManifest.xml that you can generate in \QC. For more information,
    see \l{Editing Manifest Files}.

    On iOS, you can lock the device orientation in an Info.plist file that you
    specify in the .pro file as the value of the QMAKE_INFO_PLIST variable.

    \section1 Adding Dependencies

    Update the accelbubble.pro file with the following library dependency
    information:

    \code
    QT += quick sensors svg xml
    \endcode

    On iOS, you must link to the above libraries statically, by adding the
    plugin names explicitly as values of the QTPLUGIN variable. Specify a
    qmake scope for iOS builds (which can also contain the QMAKE_INFO_PLIST
    variable):

    \code
    ios {
    QTPLUGIN += qsvg qsvgicon qtsensors_ios
    QMAKE_INFO_PLIST = Info.plist
    }
    \endcode

    After adding the dependencies, select \uicontrol Build > \uicontrol {Run qmake} to apply
    the changes to the Makefile of the project.

    \section1 Running the Application

    The application is complete and ready to be deployed to a device:

    \list 1

        \li Enable \e{USB Debugging} on the Android device or \e{developer mode}
            on the iOS device.

        \li Connect the device to the development PC.

    If you are using a device running Android v4.2.2, it should prompt you to
    verify the connection to allow USB debugging from the PC it is connected
    to. To avoid such prompts every time you connect the device, select the
    \uicontrol {Always allow from the computer} check box, and then select
    \uicontrol OK.

        \li To run the application on the device, press \key {Ctrl+R}.

    \endlist
