Building and Running an Example Application

You can test that your installation is successful by opening an existing example application project.

1. On the Welcome page, select Demos and Examples, and then search for Toys: Clocks Example in the list of examples.

   

2. Select targets for the project. Select at least Qt Simulator and one of the mobile targets, Symbian Device, Maemo 5, or MeeGo Harmattan, depending on the device you develop for.

   

   Note: If you have only one target installed, this dialog is skipped. You can add installed targets later in the Projects mode.

   Note: The project opens in the Edit mode, and the documentation for the example hides these instructions. To return to these instructions, select Previous Page on the toolbar or press Alt+Left.

3. To test the application in Qt Simulator, click the Target Selector and select Qt Simulator.

   

4. Click to build the application and run it in Qt Simulator.
5. To see the compilation progress, press Alt+4 to open the Compile Output pane.

   The Build progress bar on the toolbar turns green when the project is successfully built. The application opens in Qt Simulator.

   

6. Change the settings in the Model view. For example, rotate the device by clicking the Orientation buttons or choose from the various mobile device configurations in the Device field. You can also simulate various mobile functions and create your own scripts.
7. To test the application on a Symbian device, check that the required Qt libraries and a debugging agent are installed on the device. For more information, see Connecting Symbian Devices.
8. Click the Target Selector and select Symbian Device.
9. Click Run to build the application and run it on the Symbian device.
