Qt Quick should be used for all UI development on mobile devices. The approach described in this article (based on QWidget) is deprecated.
Qt Quick should be used for all UI development on mobile devices. The approach described in this article (based on QWidget) is deprecated.
This code example shows how to get notification when the screen mode changes using QWidget::resizeEvent(). This method gets called when the screen mode changes, so you have to implement that virtual method in your class in order to handle orientation change events.

Warning: This article does not work properly in Qt 4.7 in Symbian. It can be rectified with the change described below.
The issue is in the example code's ResizeEvent::GetScreenCoordinates() method. The GetScreenCoordinates uses QDesktopWidget::availableGeometry and QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry methods. In all cases these methods do not reflect current screen geometry values during QWidget::resizeEvent call as the respective values are only changed after the resizeEvent has occured. This means that e.g. during the startup of the application these may return wrong values as the values are not yet set properly.
If the whole screen geometry information is needed from QDesktopWidget it's advised to connect to QApplication::desktop()'s workAreaResized(int) signal and call QApplication::desktop()->availableGeometry() in the connected slot function. This works in Qt 4.7.3 in Symbian but not (due to bug) in Qt 4.6.
See following bug report for more details. The QTBUG-14058's fix introduces documentation for QDesktopWidget on this issue.
In many cases application should however get simply the geometry of the main window using QMainWindow::width() and ::height() methods during QMainWindow's resizeEvent.
