Qt Quick 演示 - RSS 新闻

A QML RSS news reader that uses XmlListModel and XmlListModelRole custom QML types to download XML data, ListModel and ListElement to create a category list, and ListView to display the data.

RSS News 演示以下 Qt Quick 特征:

  • 使用自定义 QML 类型。
  • Using list models and list elements to represent data.
  • Using XML list models to download XML data.
  • Using list views to display data.
  • 使用 Component type to create a footer for the news item list view.
  • 使用 Image type to create a button for closing the app.

运行范例

要运行范例从 Qt Creator ,打开 欢迎 模式,然后选择范例从 范例 。更多信息,拜访 构建和运行范例 .

使用自定义类型

In the RSS News app, we use the following custom types that are each defined in a separate .qml file:

  • BusyIndicator.qml
  • CategoryDelegate.qml
  • NewsDelegate.qml
  • RssFeeds.qml
  • ScrollBar.qml

To use the custom types, we add an import statement to the main QML file, rssnews.qml that imports the folder called content where the types are located:

import "./content"
					

创建主窗口

rssnews.qml ,使用 Rectangle type with custom properties to create the app main window:

Rectangle {
    id: window
    width: 800
    height: 480
    property string currentFeed: rssFeeds.get(0).feed
    property bool loading: feedModel.status === XmlListModel.Loading
    property bool isPortrait: Screen.primaryOrientation === Qt.PortraitOrientation
					

We will use the custom properties later for loading XML data and for adjusting the screen layout depending on its orientation.

Creating a Category List

rssnews.qml ,使用 RssFeeds custom type that we specify in RssFeeds.qml to create a list of feed categories:

    RssFeeds { id: rssFeeds }
					

RssFeeds.qml ,使用 ListModel 类型采用 ListElement type to create a category list where list elements represent feed categories:

ListModel {
    ListElement { name: "Top Stories"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories"; image: "images/TopStories.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "World"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/world"; image: "images/World.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Europe"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/europe"; image: "images/Europe.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Asia"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/asia"; image: "images/Asia.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "U.S. National"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/us"; image: "images/USNational.jpg"  }
    ListElement { name: "Politics"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/politics"; image: "images/Politics.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Business"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/business"; image: "images/Business.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Technology"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/tech"; image: "images/Technology.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Entertainment"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/entertainment"; image: "images/Entertainment.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Health"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/health"; image: "images/Health.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Science"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/science"; image: "images/Science.jpg" }
    ListElement { name: "Sports"; feed: "news.yahoo.com/rss/sports"; image: "images/Sports.jpg" }
}
					

List elements are defined like other QML types except that they contain a collection of role definitions instead of properties. Roles both define how the data is accessed and include the data itself.

For each list element, we use the 名称 role to specify the category name, the feed role to specify the URL to load the data from, and the image role to display an image for the category.

rssnews.qml ,使用 ListView type to display the category list:

    ListView {
        id: categories
        property int itemWidth: 190
        width: isPortrait ? parent.width : itemWidth
        height: isPortrait ? itemWidth : parent.height
        orientation: isPortrait ? ListView.Horizontal : ListView.Vertical
        anchors.top: parent.top
        model: rssFeeds
        delegate: CategoryDelegate { itemSize: categories.itemWidth }
        spacing: 3
    }
					

To lay out the category list horizontally at the top of the window in portrait orientation and vertically on the left side in landscape orientation, we use the orientation property. Based on the orientation, we bind either the width or the height of the list to a fixed value ( itemWidth ).

使用 anchors.top property to position the list view at the top of the screen in both orientations.

使用 model property to load XML data from the rssFeeds model, and CategoryDelegate as the delegate to instantiate each item in the list.

Creating List Elements

CategoryDelegate.qml ,使用 Rectangle type with custom properties to create list elements:

Rectangle {
    id: delegate
    property bool selected: ListView.isCurrentItem
					

We set the selected property to the ListView.isCurrentItem attached property to specify that selected is true if delegate is the current item.

使用 Image type source property to display the image, centered in the delegate, specified for the list element by the image role in the rssFeeds list model:

    Image {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        source: image
    }
					

使用 Text type to add titles to list elements:

    Text {
        id: titleText
        anchors {
            left: parent.left; leftMargin: 20
            right: parent.right; rightMargin: 20
            top: parent.top; topMargin: 20
        }
        font { pixelSize: 18; bold: true }
        text: name
        color: selected ? "#ffffff" : "#ebebdd"
        scale: selected ? 1.15 : 1.0
        Behavior on color { ColorAnimation { duration: 150 } }
        Behavior on scale { PropertyAnimation { duration: 300 } }
					

使用 anchors property to position the title at the top of the list element, with a 20-pixel margin. We use font properties to adjust font size and text formatting.

使用 color and scale properties to brighten the text and to scale it slightly larger when the list item is the current item. By applying a Behavior to the property, we animate the actions of selecting and deselecting list items.

使用 MouseArea type to download XML data when users tap a category list element:

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: delegate
        onClicked: {
            delegate.ListView.view.currentIndex = index
            if (window.currentFeed == feed)
                feedModel.reload()
            else
                window.currentFeed = feed
        }
    }
					

anchors.fill property is set to delegate to enable users to tap anywhere within the list element.

使用 onClicked signal handler to load the XML data for the category list. If the tapped category is already current, the reload() function is called to reload the data.

Downloading XML Data

rssnews.qml , we use an XmlListModel type as a data source for ListView elements to display news items in the selected category:

    XmlListModel {
        id: feedModel
        source: "https://" + window.currentFeed
        query: "/rss/channel/item"
					

使用 source 特性和 window.currentFeed custom property to fetch news items for the selected category.

query property specifies that the XmlListModel generates a model item for each <item> 在 XML 文档。

使用 XmlListModelRole type to specify the model item attributes. Each model item has the title , content , link ,和 pubDate attributes that match the values of the corresponding <item> in the XML document:

        XmlListModelRole { name: "title"; elementName: "title"; attributeName: ""}
        XmlListModelRole { name: "content"; elementName: "content"; attributeName: "url" }
        XmlListModelRole { name: "link"; elementName: "link"; attributeName: "" }
        XmlListModelRole { name: "pubDate"; elementName: "pubDate"; attributeName: "" }
    }
					

使用 feedModel model in a ListView type to display the data:

    ListView {
        id: list
        anchors.left: isPortrait ? window.left : categories.right
        anchors.right: closeButton.left
        anchors.top: isPortrait ? categories.bottom : window.top
        anchors.bottom: window.bottom
        anchors.leftMargin: 30
        anchors.rightMargin: 4
        clip: isPortrait
        model: feedModel
        footer: footerText
        delegate: NewsDelegate {}
    }
					

To list the news items below the category list in portrait orientation and to its right in landscape orientation, we use the isPortrait custom property to anchor the top of the news items list to the left of window and bottom of categories in portrait orientation and to the right of categories and bottom of window in landscape orientation.

使用 anchors.bottom property to anchor the bottom of the list view to the bottom of the window in both orientations.

In portrait orientation, we clip the painting of the news items to the bounding rectangle of the list view to avoid graphical artifacts when news items are scrolled over other items. In landscape, this is not required, because the list spans the entire screen vertically.

使用 model property to load XML data from the feedModel model, and use NewsDelegate as the delegate to instantiate each item in the list.

NewsDelegate.qml ,使用 Column type to lay out the XML data:

Column {
    id: delegate
    width: delegate.ListView.view.width
    spacing: 8
					

Within the column, we use a Row and another column to position images and title text:

    Row {
        width: parent.width
        spacing: 8
        Column {
            Item {
                width: 4
                height: titleText.font.pixelSize / 4
            }
            Image {
                id: titleImage
                source: content
                width: Math.min(delegate.width / 2, sourceSize.width)
                fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit
            }
        }
        Text {
            id: titleText
            text: title.replace(/'/g, "'")
            width: delegate.width - titleImage.width
            wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
            font.pixelSize: 26
            font.bold: true
        }
    }
					

We generate a textual representation of how long ago the item was posted using the timeSinceEvent() JavaScript function:

    Text {
        width: delegate.width
        font.pixelSize: 12
        textFormat: Text.RichText
        font.italic: true
        text: timeSinceEvent(pubDate) + " (<a href=\"" + link + "\">Link</a>)"
        onLinkActivated: function(link) {
            Qt.openUrlExternally(link)
        }
    }
					

使用 onLinkActivated signal handler to open the URL in an external browser when users select the link.

向用户提供反馈

CategoryDelegate.qml ,使用 BusyIndicator custom type to indicate activity while the XML data is being loaded:

    BusyIndicator {
        scale: 0.8
        visible: delegate.ListView.isCurrentItem && window.loading
        anchors.centerIn: parent
    }
					

使用 scale property to reduce the indicator size to 0.8 . We bind the visible property to the isCurrentItem attached property of the delegate list view and loading property of the main window to display the indicator image when a category list item is the current item and XML data is being loaded.

定义 BusyIndicator 类型在 BusyIndicator.qml . We use an Image type to display an image and apply a NumberAnimation to its rotation property to rotate the image in an infinite loop:

Image {
    id: container
    source: "images/busy.png";
    NumberAnimation on rotation {
        running: container.visible
        from: 0; to: 360;
        loops: Animation.Infinite;
        duration: 1200
    }
}
					

在 APP 中,还可以使用 BusyIndicator 类型从 Qt Quick Controls 模块。

Creating Scroll Bars

rssnews.qml , we use our own custom ScrollBar type to create scroll bars in the category and news item list views. In your apps, you can also use the ScrollView 类型从 Qt Quick Controls 模块。

First, we create a scroll bar in the category list view. We bind the orientation property to the isPortrait property and to the Horizontal value of the Qt::Orientation enum type to display a horizontal scroll bar in portrait orientation and to the Vertical value to display a vertical scroll bar in landscape orientation:

    ScrollBar {
        id: listScrollBar
        orientation: isPortrait ? Qt.Horizontal : Qt.Vertical
        height: isPortrait ? 8 : categories.height;
        width: isPortrait ? categories.width : 8
        scrollArea: categories;
        anchors.right: categories.right
    }
					

Same as with the categories list view, we adjust the width and height of the scroll bar based on the isPortrait 特性。

使用 scrollArea property to display the scroll bar in the categories list view.

使用 anchors.right property to anchor the scroll bar to the right side of the category list.

    ScrollBar {
        scrollArea: list
        width: 8
        anchors.right: window.right
        anchors.top: isPortrait ? categories.bottom : window.top
        anchors.bottom: window.bottom
    }
					

Second, we create another scroll bar in the news item list view. We want a vertical scroll bar to appear on the right side of the view regardless of screen orientation, so we can set the width 特性到 8 并绑定 anchors.right property to the window.right property. We use the anchors.top property to anchor the scroll bar top to the bottom of the category list in portrait orientation and to the top of the news item list in landscape orientation. We use the anchors.bottom property to anchor the scroll bar bottom to the list view bottom in both orientations.

定义 ScrollBar 类型在 ScrollBar.qml . We use an Item type with custom properties to create a container for the scroll bar:

Item {
    id: container
    property variant scrollArea
    property int orientation: Qt.Vertical
    opacity: 0
					

使用 BorderImage type to display the scroll bar thumb at the x and y position that we calculate by using the position() 函数:

    BorderImage {
        source: "images/scrollbar.png"
        border { left: 1; right: 1; top: 1; bottom: 1 }
        x: container.orientation == Qt.Vertical ? 2 : position()
        y: container.orientation == Qt.Vertical ? position() : 2
        width: container.orientation == Qt.Vertical ? container.width - 4 : size()
        height: container.orientation == Qt.Vertical ? size() : container.height - 4
    }
					

使用 size function to calculate the thumb width and height depending on the screen orientation.

使用 状态 to make the scroll bar visible when the users move the scroll area:

    states: State {
        name: "visible"
        when: container.orientation == Qt.Vertical ?
                  scrollArea.movingVertically :
                  scrollArea.movingHorizontally
        PropertyChanges { target: container; opacity: 1.0 }
    }
					

使用 过渡 以应用 NumberAnimation opacity property when the state changes from "visible" to the default state:

    transitions: Transition {
        from: "visible"; to: ""
        NumberAnimation { properties: "opacity"; duration: 600 }
    }
}
					

Creating Footers

rssnews.qml ,使用 Component 类型采用 Rectangle type to create a footer for the news list view:

    Component {
        id: footerText
        Rectangle {
            width: parent.width
            height: closeButton.height
            color: "lightgray"
            Text {
                text: "RSS Feed from Yahoo News"
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                font.pixelSize: 14
            }
        }
    }
					

We bind the width of the footer to the width of the component and the height to the height of close button to align them when no news items are displayed.

Creating Buttons

rssnews.qml , we use an Image type to create a simple push button that users can tap to close the app:

    Image {
        id: closeButton
        source: "content/images/btn_close.png"
        scale: 0.8
        anchors.top: parent.top
        anchors.right: parent.right
        anchors.margins: 4
        opacity: (isPortrait && categories.moving) ? 0.2 : 1.0
        Behavior on opacity {
            NumberAnimation { duration: 300; easing.type: Easing.OutSine }
        }
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                Qt.quit()
            }
        }
    }
					

使用 anchors to position the close button in the top right corner of the news list view, with 4-pixel margins. Because the close button overlaps the category list in portrait orientation, we animate the opacity property to make the button almost fully transparent when users are scrolling the category list.

使用 onClicked signal handler within a MouseArea to call the quit() function when users select the close button.
