FileList

A Nokia Developer Qt Quick example application for browsing multimedia files on a Symbian device. This application, which is ported from a Symbian C++ version, is developed with Qt Quick Components and is based on the Symbian design guidelines. The example also features an efficient splash screen implemented completely with QML code.

General

With the FileList example application, the user can explore the multimedia content (images, sounds, and videos) of a Symbian device. In addition, selected files can be opened with appropriate applications, for example selecting an image from the file list will display the image in the Photos application. The example also features an efficient splash screen implemented completely with QML code.

The UI of the application is implemented with Qt Quick Components and is based on the ​Symbian design guidelines. The application uses the ​folder list model provided by the Qt.labs module.

The location of the content folders is resolved using the native Symbian C++ class ​PathInfo. Opening the files with the appropriate application is implemented using the ​QDesktopServices class.

The previous version of this example application, which can be found ​here, was developed with native Symbian C++.

For more information about the UI design and differences between the old and the new version, see the wiki.
