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 QtObject in single-process mode. In contrast to a Window it is visible by default. This documentation reflects the Window inheritance. Note that only a subset of the Window type members have been added to ApplicationManagerWindow when derived from QtObject. Additional details can be found in the section about the root element and application windows.

The QML import for this item is

import QtApplicationManager.Application

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

import QtQuick
import QtApplicationManager.Application

ApplicationManagerWindow {
    Text {
        text: ApplicationInterface.applicationId
    }
}

In order to make your applications easily runnable outside of the application manager, even though you are using an 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
   
   Window {
       signal windowPropertyChanged
       function setWindowProperty(name, value) {}
       // ... add additional dummy members that are used by your implementation
   
       width: 1280   // use your screen width here
       height: 600   // use your screen height here
       visible: true
   }

Now you can run your appication for instance with: qml -I <path to base dir>
