<div>If you declare all your pages in ApplicationWindow like:<br></div><div><br></div><div>ApplicationWindow {<br> id: appWindow<br> cover: Qt.resolvedUrl("CoverPage.qml")<br></div><div><br></div><div> MainPage {<br>
id: mainPage<br> }<br></div><div><br></div><div> SecondPage {<br> id: secondPage<br> }<br>}<br></div><div><br></div><div>then you can use pages global properties and functions from CoverPage:<br></div><div>
<br></div><div>CoverBackground {<br> id: cover<br> ...<br></div><div><br></div><div> Label {<br> anchors.centerIn: cover<br> ...<br> text: mainPage.processStatus<br> color: secondPage.getCoverColor()<br>
}<br>}<br></div><div><br></div><div>On 16.11.2013 13:39, Gabriel Boehme wrote:<br></div><blockquote>Hi Artem,<br><div><br></div> thanks for the fast response.<br><div><br></div> Your solution is a good idea, and could work for some values (main page<br>

So I also tried, var page = Qt.createComponent("qml/file"), so I can<br> store a page/cover in a variable and push that on the PageStack, but I<br> can't reach the property aliases.<br><div><br></div> Thanks.<br>

The way I like doing it is to keep shared object in main.qml and pass<br> it to pages/covers at the moment of instantiation the following way:<br><div><br></div><br> ========<br> ApplicationWindow<br> {<br> id: app<br>

Hi Sailfish sailors,<br> <br> I want to ask, what is recommended/best practice to handle<br> different<br> covers/covers with dynamic information.<br> <br> My case:<br>
<br> On the main page (MainPage.qml) you can select some options<br> and search<br> depending on the selected options. My main cover shows the<br> selected<br> options if minimized, so I can't just create it with<br>
Qt.resolvedUrl("path/to/maincover.qml"), because I'm "talking"<br> to the<br> cover with via property aliases. So I'm creating this cover<br> directly as<br>
an instance in ApplicationWindow.<br> <br> After the search a ListView shows the results from a model and<br> I created<br> another cover to switch between the results with CoverAction<br>
(show<br> next/previous) - it takes the data from the model. But also<br> shows some<br> information from main page - via property alias.<br> <br> So the point is: to fill the cover pages with the dynamic data<br>
I can't<br> create them with Qt.resolvedUrl("path/to/cover.qml"), or<br> push("mypage.qml") because I need property aliases to set the<br> information on the covers. But in the most examples and also<br>
the console<br> output tells me, that it is not clever to create instances in<br> the<br> ApplicationWindow part.<br> <br> So what is best practice? Do I miss something?<br>
<br> Thank you very much in advance.<br> <br> Gabriel<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list<br><div>
