Introduction
This code snippet demonstrates how to fetch a map tile in Qt using the Location module of Qt Mobility and Nokia Maps. It is assumed here that you have set up Qt Mobility in your development environment and on your device. For more information, see Setting up Qt Mobility.
Qt project file
Add the WebKit and the Location modules into the project:
QT += webkit
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY = location
This snippet requires the following capabilities:
symbian: {
TARGET.CAPABILITY = Location \
NetworkServices
}
Source: main.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
MainWindow mainWindow;
mainWindow.showMaximized();
return app.exec();
}
