GeoFlickr (QML)

This is a small example, illustrating one of the very core parts of the Qt Positioning API: the ability to retrieve and use the user's current geographic position.

Key QML types shown in this example:

Retrieving the Current Position

Retrieving the user's current position is achieved using the PositionSource type. In this example, we instantiate the PositionSource as part of the GeoTab component (the floating "window" describing current position and status).

    PositionSource {
        id: positionSource
        onPositionChanged: { planet.source = "images/sun.png"; }
        onSourceErrorChanged: {
            if (sourceError == PositionSource.NoError)
                return
            console.log("Source error: " + sourceError)
            activityText.fadeOut = true
            stop()
        }
        onUpdateTimeout: {
            activityText.fadeOut = true
        }
    }

When the "Locate and update" button is pressed, we first interrogate the PositionSource to check if it has an available backend for positioning data. If it does not, we fall back to using a pre-recorded NMEA log for demonstration. We then instruct the PositionSource to update.

    Button {
        id: locateButton
        text: "Locate & update"
        onClicked: {
            if (positionSource.supportedPositioningMethods ===
                    PositionSource.NoPositioningMethods) {
                positionSource.nmeaSource = "nmealog.txt";
                sourceText.text = "(filesource): " + printableMethod(positionSource.supportedPositioningMethods);
            }
            positionSource.update();
        }
    }

To share the new position data with the rest of the application, we use properties that we have created on the GeoTab component:

    property variant coordinate

Using the Current Position

The longitude and latitude values retrieved here are eventually set on in properties on the RestModel component. The RestModel is an XmlListModel , which retrieves XML data from a URL and creates a data model by performing XPath queries on it.

In this case, it retrieves data from the Flickr REST API online, based on our current position

XmlListModel {
    property variant coordinate
    source: "https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?" +
            "min_taken_date=2000-01-01+0:00:00&" +
            "extras=date_taken&" +
            "method=flickr.photos.search&" +
            "per_page=30&" +
            "sort=date-taken-desc&" +
            "api_key=e36784df8a03fea04c22ed93318b291c&" +
            "lat=" + coordinate.latitude + "&lon=" + coordinate.longitude;
    query: "/rsp/photos/photo"
    XmlRole { name: "title"; query: "@title/string()" }
    XmlRole { name: "datetaken"; query: "@datetaken/string()" }
    XmlRole { name: "farm"; query: "@farm/string()" }
    XmlRole { name: "server"; query: "@server/string()" }
    XmlRole { name: "id"; query: "@id/string()" }
    XmlRole { name: "secret"; query: "@secret/string()" }
}

This model data is then shown in a variety of Qt Quick views to produce the example application.
