Summary

This chapter brings closure to the development of the gallery application. We built a strong foundation with gallery-core, created a widget UI with gallery-desktop, and finally crafted a QML UI with gallery-mobile.

QML enables a very fast approach to UI development. Unfortunately, the technology is still young and rapidly changing. The integration with mobile OSes (Android, iOS) is under heavy development and we hope that it will lead to great mobile applications with Qt. For now, the inherent limits of a mobile cross-platform toolkit are still hard to overcome.

The next chapter will take QML technology to new shores: the development of a snake game running on a Raspberry Pi.
