Black screen when started from launcher

[KimF]

Hi

I have a wierd problem.

My qml applications run fine on the simulator, in developer mode on the device and from the terminal, but whenever I try to start it using the icon on the desktop all I get is a blank screen

I have tested with several applications, and always gets the same result.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using Qt Creator under SDK 1.2.

What is happening in the initial view/main of your app?

[kunal_the_one]

looks like its not able to find QML or some error in QML, I generally face same problem when QML has some issue. Did you tried running from Qt Creator ? Does is show some warning message ?

Make sure you've selected com.nokia.extras platform on Application tab, for Harmattan, not Symbian. (It's Symbian on attached picture, but should be Harmattan)

Hi

Thanks for your answers, unfortunately it seemes as if I haven't been precise enough in my description, so I'll try again.

If I, from the creator, run my applications in the Qt simulator, the program runs fine.

If I, from the creator, run my applications on the device (N9, PR1.1), the program runs fine.

If I deploy to the device, and start from the icon, I get a black screen, no errors.

If I deploy to the device, and start from a command line, the program runs fine.

To me it very much looks as the problem mentioned here Black screen on PR1.0, but on PR1.1.

It is the same with every application I have compiled, Qt programs downloaded from nokia store does not have this problem.

Hi again

After a lot of testing, I have found the problem, it resides in the following line :

viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/TE/main.qml"));

If I change it to /opt/TE/qml/TE/main.qml, then the program runs from the launcher, but NOT in the simulator, debugger or from command line !

What should the path be to work under both the simulator and the launcher ?

Where do you put your qml files ?

[kunal_the_one]

I generally load qml file from Qt Resource file, that way we can make sure that file are always present when application is installed and we always knows it location.
like
view.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

you will also need to create Qt resource file and add entry for all QML file and other resource like image.

Thanks a lot, that's what I needed !
