Qt Sensors
The Qt Sensors module provides access to sensor hardware via QML and C++ interfaces.
Currently, the API is supported on Android, iOS, and Windows (MSVC).
Using the Module
QML API
The QML types of the module are available through the QtSensors
import. To use the types, add the following import statement to your .qml file:
import QtSensors
C++ API
Using a Qt module's C++ API requires linking against the module library, either directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.
Building with CMake
Use the find_package()
command to locate the needed module component in the Qt6
package:
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Sensors)
target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::Sensors)
For more details, see the Build with CMake overview.
Building with qmake
To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value of the QT
variable in the project's .pro file:
QT += sensors
