Detailed Description

This is a convenience subclass of QQuickWindow which will automatically load and display a QML scene when given the URL of the main source file. Alternatively, you can instantiate your own objects using QQmlComponent and place them in a manually setup QQuickWindow .

Typical usage:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QGuiApplication(sys.argv)
    view = QQuickView()
    view.setResizeMode(QQuickView.SizeRootObjectToView)

    qmlFile = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'view.qml')
    view.setSource(QUrl.fromLocalFile(os.path.abspath(qmlFile)))
    if view.status() == QQuickView.Error:
        sys.exit(-1)
    view.show()

    app.exec_()
    # Deleting the view before it goes out of scope is required to make
    # sure all child QML instances are destroyed in the correct order.
    del view

To receive errors related to loading and executing QML with QQuickView , you can connect to the statusChanged() signal and monitor for Error . The errors are available via errors() .

QQuickView also manages sizing of the view and root object. By default, the resizeMode is SizeViewToRootObject , which will load the component and resize it to the size of the view. Alternatively the resizeMode may be set to SizeRootObjectToView which will resize the view to the size of the root object.
