This article describes how to make a Qt Hello World application for Tizen emulator. For actual Tizen device the steps are the same.

Assumptions

• prepared development environment according to build howto
• basic knowledge about Tizen tpk structure

Steps

1. See hello world example from qtquickcontrols-tizen wip/tizen branch

git clone -b wip/tizen https://git.gitorious.org/qt/qtquickcontrols-tizen.git<code>
# Create your own application as you would develop for desktop
# Create tizen subdirectory and copy there manifest.xml file from helloworld example in qtquickcontrols-tizen repository.
# Also copy ''shared'' folder from helloworld example in qtquickcontrols-tizen repository. It contains default application icon. Path to this icon is already set in manifest.xml.
# Choose application name and new Application ID from manifest editor in QtCreator(double click on manifest file in project explorer).
# adapt application's project pro file for tizen with tizen scope:

tizen {

tizen_shared.files = shared/res
CONFIG = TIZEN_STANDALONE_PACKAGE
TIZEN_BUNDLED_QT_LIBS=Qt5Core Qt5DBus Qt5Qml Qt5Quick Qt5Widgets Qt5Gui Qt5Network
load(tizen_app)

}

# adapt application's main.cpp file by adding OspMain function:

extern "C" int OspMain(int argc, char argv[])

{

return main(argc, argv);

}

1. Now compile and deploy from QtCreator. You application should appear in homescreen on emulator or device (depending on Kit, you chose)

Additional explanation

Qmake Variables ' CONFIG= TIZEN_STANDALONE_PACKAGE- Qt libraries listed in TIZEN_BUNDLED_QT_LIBS will be copied to package lib subdirectory. Additionally Qt plugins will be copied from $$[QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS] to data/plugins package subdirectory and qml plugins from $$[QT_INSTALL_QML] to data/qml package subdirectory.

• tizen_shared.files - flies which will be copied to application package shared subdirectory. There are also qmake variables for other directories:
  • tizen_bin
  • tizen_data
  • tizen_info
  • tizen_lib
  • tizen_res
  • tizen_setting
