[SailfishDevel] Make cover page equal to First page

[Joona Petrell]

Hi João,

Application cover should have it's own UI, because it has different layout dimensions than the full-screen application page, different background (often CoverBackground) and in most cases should have cover actions. Cover and a page can share an UI component, provided that UI component somehow handles the layout differences, e.g. CoverBackground { TimerItem { coverMode: true } CoverActionList { ... } } vs. Page { TimerItem { coverMode: false } }.

Binding initialPage property to cover property is not ok.


Cheers,


Joona

Subject: [SailfishDevel] Make cover page equal to First page

Hi again

The app that I'm portin from Meego, it's a timer, so I need the cover to look the same has the first page, so the user can see the time running in the cover, just like in the first page.

So, I did:


ApplicationWindow

{

    initialPage: FirstPage { }

    cover: initialPage //Qt.resolvedUrl("cover/CoverPage.qml")

}


This works but when the app is in cover mode, the timer freezes, (unlike the meego N9 version, who keep running) and something gets messed up in the simulator, because when clicking the cover to return to first page,  the app doesnt appear anymore, only the sailfish background.

Any ideias ?


Regards

João de Deus
