Yes, it makes sense. If you will split elements in different files you can work with them like with standard qml components and reuse them as many times as you want.
Navigation between qml pages can be done via flippable or via moving old page off the screen and moving new page to screen.

Could you provide more code detail. I am not surprised that it is possible, but I am at a loss for how to begin implementing both of these features.

Both of them are well described in qml examples and demos. Just take twitter demo and look into it. Both techniques are used there.

So I am looking at the twitter example and I am trying to figure out how they embedded qml files into the larger qml document.

In twitter.qml is the “import “TwitterCore” 1.0 as Twitter” used to identify the folder? What is the 1.0?

1.0 is version.
TwitterCore here is folder and Twitter is alias for qmls in this folder. This alias is used in twitter.qml.

So I tried creating my own folder and naming in a similar structure but it doesn’t seem to work. I guess I will keep experimenting.

have you created qmldir file?

maybe this will help you: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qdeclarativedocuments.html [doc.qt.nokia.com]

but like Denis said you should look at flickr, twitter demos

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qdeclarativemodules.html [doc.qt.nokia.com] is a good place to start for the import statement. In general, reading through the overviews at http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qtquick.html [doc.qt.nokia.com] should give you a good introduction to QML.

Isn’t the qmldir part of the .qmlproject file?

What I cannot figure out in any example is whether I can navigate from something like a mainpage.qml to a settings.qml and keep them wholly separate. Is this possible?

I look forward to a book or other resource where I can learn from ground up. Combing through examples has not proved to be super helpful yet.

Thanks,

I just found the qmldir file in the Twitter example. It is only visible in the project directory and not in Qt Creator at all.

kyleplattner: I am no quick expert, but I think I remember the filenames being case sensitive. So if you have a Button, then that should go into a Button.qml, not in button.qml.

Tobias,
That solved one of my issues. Thanks,

Kyle

I still am sketchy on how to cleanly navigate between separate qml documents.
