I am using pyqt and I have the following directory structure:
root
----> apps/
----> ui/
I have a simple qml based application in the app folder as:
apps/testqt.py
from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.QtQuick import QQuickView, QQuickWindow
from PyQt5.QtQml import qmlRegisterType, QQmlApplicationEngine
import sys
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
engine = QQmlApplicationEngine('ui/window.qml')
topLevel = engine.rootObjects()[0]
win = QQuickWindow(topLevel)
win.show()
app.exec_()
ui/window.qml
The qml file defines the app window and uses a StackView as follows:
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.1
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
ApplicationWindow {
id: rootWindow
objectName: "window"
visible: true
width: 800
height: 480
title: "Window"
Component.onCompleted: {
setX(Screen.width / 2 - width / 2);
setY(Screen.height / 2 - height / 2);
}
property Component loginView: LoginView {}
StackView {
id: stackView
anchors.fill: parent
Component.onCompleted:
{
stackView.push(loginView)
}
}
}
This uses the LoginView
component which is defined as:
apps/LoginView.qml
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.1
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.0
ControlView {
ColumnLayout {
anchors.centerIn: parent
spacing: 25
width: 200
TextField {
id: username_fld
placeholderText: qsTr("User name")
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
TextField {
id: password_fld
placeholderText: qsTr("Password")
Layout.fillWidth: true
echoMode: TextInput.Password
}
RowLayout {
Button {
id: login_button
text: "Log In"
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
Button {
id: cancel_button
text: "Cancel"
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
}
}
}
Now when I use qmlscene
, the view loads just fine. However, running python results in the application hanging while trying to load the QQmlApplicationEngine
. I have a feeling it has something to do with the qml paths perhaps, so I included import ../ui
into the window.qml
imports but that did not change anything.
I am using Python 2.7
with Qt 5.6
in an Anaconda environment. Qt was installed from here: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/pyqt
