QtQuick 1 vs QtQuick

work in progress

The idea of this wiki page is to have a "some how" porting guide for customers, having a Qt 4.8/QtQuick 1 application, to get a Qt5/QtQuick 2 application. The focus is on the QML part, not the c++ part. What are new elements, which elements are deprecated, what needs to be changed.

ideas from Girish:

  1. The change in javascript engines.
  2. What's changed in the js syntax in QML2 (if any)
  3. C++ api changes - like how does we create items these days? How is it different from QML1
  4. Dependency on GLES2 unlike QML1

For porting an existing QtQuick 1 application to QtQuick 2 and make use of new features of QtQuick 2, there are some changes in the QML files necessary, which are listed below.

QtQuick 1 QtQuick 2
import QtQuick 1.0 import QtQuick 2.0
import Qt.labs.particles 1.0 import QtQuick.Particles 2.0
import Qt.labs.shaders 1.0 import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick 1.0 import QtQuick.XmlListModel 2.0
import QtMobility.location 1.2 import QtLocation 5.0
import QtMobility.sensors 1.3 import QtSensors 5.0
import QtMobility.systeminfo 1.1 import QtSystemInfo 5.0
import QtMultimediaKit 1.1 import QtMultimedia 5.0
./qmlviewer ./qmlscene
