What is the best way to check for support of a sensor in QML

[hamishwillee]

Hi

Is there a way to query supported sensor types or get error information for sensors using QML?

If not, what is the best solution? This article starts a 7 second timer when the Compass element is set active, and assumes it is either broken or not supported if the compass isn't providing readings within 7 seconds.

I guess you could hide the compass until you start getting readings, but it seems a bit crap.

Cheers

Hello,

There will be , so far QSensor C++ -> QML seems to be the easiest way to go. The ones not found app can hide.

Thanks very much. The explorer example seems to use C++ to get the sensor properties too so there isn't any evidence from this that Qt 5.0 will solve the problem in QML.
