Add V-Play Apps

[alexleutgoeb]

Hi,

Just wanted to ask if that great project is still maintained? We created a V-Play Apps SDK (V-Play Apps provides cross-platform mobile app components based on the Qt framework) implementation recently that we would love to see on the website.

Preview:

iOS	Android

If there is still progress on that I would be happy to send a pull request!

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for getting in touch - yes, this project is still maintained. It's been a bit quiet recently, however we are currently planning a bit of an overhaul, refreshing some of the examples and the website.

We'd be very happy to received a V-Play Apps Pull Request.

Just for my benefit, how does it differ from Qt? what does V-Play add from a development perspective?

Thanks, Colin E.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your fast response and glad to hear that there is some work going on.

V-Play Apps is not a replacement for Qt components but adds new components that are designed mobile-first (iOS, Android) in mind. That means you get out-of-the-box native look and feel on each target platform (the screenshots from above are from the same code base without any special styling applied), screen resolution/aspect ratio/density handling and also components that are not available in Qt framework. E.g. Navigationbar/Toolbar components with the familiar transition effects between pages, list views styled and optimized for mobile devices, etc.

For reference, here is a full list of components: http://v-play.net/doc/apps-api/

Happy to send a pull request then!

Thanks for the extra information, that's definitely something that we'd want detailed in the description of the framework.

I look forward to receiving a PR!
