Show and select photo gallery

[pixsta]

Hi,

How can I start the N9 photo gallery, let the user select a picture, and go back to my application? In Symbian there is the MGFetch api which works fine with Qt - is there some equivalent for Meego?

What about media browser : PhotoView

Photo Viewer using QML : Photo Viewer

regards,
rahul

Here there is a good working example of how to embed Nokia's GalleryCore library widgets to invoke the pictures grid and select an item:
https://meego.gitorious.org/meegotou...inesslogic.cpp
https://meego.gitorious.org/meegotou...usinesslogic.h

Basically, create an image content provider as in:
https://meego.gitorious.org/meegotou...ntprovider.cpp
https://meego.gitorious.org/meegotou...tentprovider.h
https://meego.gitorious.org/meegotou...ntprovider_p.h

And, then, create a GalleryModel feeded with this image content provider:

...
    m_GalleryModel = new GalleryModel (this);
    m_ImageContentProvider = new ImageContentProvider (*m_GalleryModel);
    m_GalleryModel->addContentProvider (m_ImageContentProvider);
    m_GalleryGridPage = new GalleryGridPage (*m_GalleryModel);
    m_GalleryGridPage->setMemorySavingMode (true);
    m_GalleryGridPage->setStyleName(
            QLatin1String("CommonApplicationPageInverted"));
    m_GalleryGridPage->selectItem();
...
    connect (m_GalleryGridPage, SIGNAL(itemSelected(QUrl)), 
            this, SLOT(onGridPageItemSelected(QUrl)));
    connect (m_GalleryGridPage, SIGNAL(singleSelectionCancelled()), 
            this, SLOT(onGridPageCancelled()));
...

Then, make the GalleryPage to appear in this way:

...
    if (m_GalleryGridPage)
        m_GalleryGridPage->sheet().appear (
                MApplication::instance()->activeWindow(), 
                MSceneWindow::KeepWhenDone);
...

Then, just handle the emitted signals:

...
void 
MyObject::onGridPageItemSelected (
        QUrl    url)
{

    // Whatever I want to do with the "url"

}

void 
MyObject::onGridPageCancelled ()
{
    if (m_GalleryGridPage)
        m_GalleryGridPage->sheet().disappear();
}
...
