Qt Creator Manual Nokia Corporation Online Reference Documentation. Qt Creator is an integrated development environment ( IDE ) that provides you with tools to design and develop applications with the Qt application framework. Qt is designed for developing applications and user interfaces once and deploying them across several desktop and mobile operating systems. One of the major advantages of Qt Creator is that it allows a team of developers to share a project across different development platforms with a common tool for development and debugging. You can create separate versions of project files to keep platform-dependent code separate. Setting up a new project in Qt Creator is aided by a wizard that guides you step-by-step through the project creation process. In the first step, you select the type of the project from the categories: Qt Quick project, Qt widget project, or other project. Next, you select a location for the project and specify settings for it. When you have completed the steps, Qt Creator automatically generates the project with required headers, source files, user interface descriptions and project files, as defined by the wizard. In addition to Qt libraries, you can link your application to other libraries, such as system libraries or your own libraries. Further, your own libraries might link to other libraries. Obviously, to be able to compile your project, you must add the libraries to your project. Qt Creator uses the version control system's command line clients to access your repositories. The following version control systems are supported: Git, Subversion, Perforce, CVS, Mercurial, Bazaar. Qt Creator provides two integrated visual editors, Qt Quick Designer and Qt Designer. Qt Quick consists of a rich set of user interface elements, a declarative language for describing user interfaces, and a language runtime. A collection of C++ APIs is used to integrate these high level features with classic Qt applications. As an IDE, Qt Creator differs from a text editor in that it knows how to build and run applications. It understands the C++ and QML languages as code, not just as plain text. QML is an extension to JavaScript, that provides a mechanism to declaratively build an object tree of QML elements. Qt Creator is integrated to several external native debuggers: GNU Symbolic Debugger ( GDB ), Microsoft Console Debugger ( CDB ), internal JavaScript debugger. If you install Qt Creator as part of Qt SDK, the GNU Symbolic Debugger is installed automatically and you should be ready to start debugging after you create a new project. You can test applications that are intended for mobile devices in the Qt Simulator and Maemo or MeeGo Harmattan emulator, but you also need to test the applications on real devices.
