<h2>4. Configuring device access in Qt Creator</h2>
 
-
Configuring device access in Qt Creator is slightly different depending on whether you are deploying to a real device or an emulated one.
 
-
 
-
However, the mode of access is the same: Qt Creator deploys and installs an .rpm package on the device, and runs the executable.

This document describes how to configure Qt Creator to use the MeeGo toolchain.

Contents

Create a MeeGo touch project

  • Go to the menu: File > New File or Project > Qt Application Project > Meego Touch Framework Application.
  • At the end of project creation, you will see the "Project setup" dialog. Choose a MeeGo QtVersion (The same of the QtVersion is the same as the target you selected during installing MeeGo SDK).

5. Set Run Configuration

  • Click "Projects" again on the left side. Select "Run" in the MeeGo Build/Run box at the top. If the "Device configuration" is set to "MeeGo tablet emulator". This will ensure that QEMU is started when you run your application.
  • You can now launch the QEMU MeeGo emulator. Click the "Start Meego emulator" icon near the bottom left corner of Qt Creator

  • if the "Device configuration" is set to "real device". This will ensure the application run in the tablet device.

6. Build, run and deploy the application

  • First launch the QEMU MeeGo emulator. Click the "Start Meego emulator" icon near the bottom left corner of Qt Creator
    <img src="https://otcshare.org/meego-tablet/system/files/qtcreator_runtime_configure.png" width=650 alt="Qt Creator - choose runtime option"/>
  • Click the "Run" icon to run your application. Qt Creator will package and deploy your application to QEMU or tablet device and start it on the target.
  • You can see the window of your application in QEMU or tablet device.

Debug the application

Known Issues

  • Qt application can be built & deployed to the emulator, but it cannot be shown correctly. Only a black screen.
  • For QEMU, it is important to check your graphics capability. See <a href="https://otcshare.org/meego-tablet/node/586">SDK Graphics Acceleration</a>
