[SailfishDevel] Detecting OS version

[Joona Petrell]

Hi Luca,

We haven't yet started versioning Silica APIs (though we probably should soon), sorry, but you can check if quickScroll property on your flickable has been defined (myFlickable.quickScroll === undefined) to check if the quick scroll functionality is available.

Cheers,

Joona

Subject: [SailfishDevel] Detecting OS version

Hi all,

recent update (1.0.7.16) added fast scrolling to Silica flickable QML components (like SilicaListView).
Before, for long lists I added a pull up menu with an option to fast-scroll back to the top, others (Together app for example) used a custom scroll decorator with the same functionality.

Is there a way to detect at run-time (in QML would be perfect, but in C++ would do the same) if the new functionality is available, or, alternatively, which OS version we are in?

This way I can avoid cluttering my app UI with elements which basically duplicate the same functionality:

if OS version >= 1.0.7.16 / system fast-scroll available: do nothing
else: enable custom fast-scroll
