Qt 5.7 released
Ive been using QtQuick for a while now and the last two weeks i&#x27;ve battled with 5.7RC. So, time to dl the proper release and see if it works any better.<p>My conclusions are that it&#x27;s fantastic for desktop apps, but I&#x27;m having a lot less success with mobile, specifically Android.<p>Originally, my plan was to reserve QT for desktop and write the mobile versions separately, whilst sharing the same C++ backend. However, i got tempted to try cross compiling my desktop version for Android.<p>After a massive battle, it works - a bit. But there&#x27;s enough that doesn&#x27;t work that prevents me from making a release just yet (cut &amp; paste is missing!). Looks like I&#x27;ll have to fill in the blanks myself.<p>Then Android is always a pig. I&#x27;m chewing over whether to recompile QT from source and start hacking it about for Android. This is what Ive had to do with pretty much all the cross platform systems. Android support is always poor and buggy.<p>On LGPL, I&#x27;m fine with it. If you want my QML source code, sure. But for now, I&#x27;ll keep the backend DLL&#x2F;.so closed (although I&#x27;d like to open that too, when ready). If you want to be able to change the front end and rebuild, I&#x27;m ok with that too. in fact, I&#x27;ll happily document the backend interface for you.<p>Can we have more Controls.2 QML examples please (most are recycled v1 examples). QtQuick lacks in the tutorial department, although the online docs are good, once you know what you&#x27;re looking for.<p>qmake is great, but qtcreator sucks, sorry. Qt widgets is obsolete, QtQuick is the way, once you get over QML.
