Compilation issue for Symbian device -- QDeclarativeView not found

[iotodev]

Hi,

I am trying to display QML from a C++ application as follows:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtDeclarative>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

QDeclarativeView view;
view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml"));
// etc.
}

I am using:

Qt Creator 2.0.1
Based on Qt 4.7.0 (32 bit)
Built on Sep 9 2010 at 14:27:59
From revision 113d4c5618

Anyway, it compiles and runs just fine on the simulator, but when I try to generate a .sis file using the other Qt version (for a Symbian device), it says there is no such thing as a QDeclarativeView type:

'QDeclarativeView' was not declared in this scope
Expected ';' before 'view'

I guess it may have to do with the fact that the Symbian Qt version is 4.6 as per this thread:

http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...860#post797860

and this is the upgrade:

So I have 2 questions.

1. If I upgrade my SDK to use Qt 4.7 for Symbian devices as well, will this problem go away? and
2. Would I be able to get this application signed for Ovi Store purposes, as of right now?

The second question is of course the main concern.

Any advice will be much appreciated!

Yes.

No. You will be able to at some point in the not too distant future, probably for Qt 4.7.2 or later I'd guess.
You can't use QML before version 4.7 (well you could possibly compile the Qt Declarative module yourself and bundle it with your app but I don't think that's a recommended approach) so you have to wait if you want to use it and deploy to Ovi in any case.

P.S. Technically there's no problem with getting your application signed but Ovi Store isn't accepting Qt 4.7 apps for Symbian (with smart installer of course) yet.
