Question

I picked up the development for an abandoned Qt app about a month ago. It’s almost complete, but I’m facing one bug that I can’t manage to fix.
When I simulate the app, everything works fine, both portrait as landscape. However, when I install the app on my Nokia E7-00 running on nokia belle refresh (Qt 4.8), landscape mode breaks.
Is there any solution to this?
I found 1 topic that described similar problems, but didn’t find a real solution in that one.

code concerning the QmlApplicationViewer in main.cpp:

QScopedPointer<QmlApplicationViewer> tQmlApplicationViewer(QmlApplicationViewer::create());
tQmlApplicationViewer->setResizeMode(QDeclarativeView::SizeRootObjectToView);

// Load the QML entrypoint
tQmlApplicationViewer->setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/BeTrains/main.qml"));

tQmlApplicationViewer->showFullScreen();

The code in main.qml

import QtQuick 1.1
import com.nokia.symbian 1.1
import com.nokia.extras 1.1
import "pages"
import "components"
import "js/utils.js" as Utils

                anchors.fill: parent

                PageStack {
                    id: liveboardStack
                    Component.onCompleted: liveboardStack.push(liveboardPage)
                }

                PageStack {
                    id: travelStack
                    Component.onCompleted: travelStack.push(travelPage)
                }


             }
        }

        ToolButton {

            flat: true
            iconSource: closeButton ? "icons/close.svg" : "toolbar-back"
            onClicked: closeButton ? Qt.quit() : tabGroup.currentTab.pop();
        }

        // Tab bar

        ButtonRow {
            TabButton { id: tabBtnLiveboard; tab: liveboardStack; iconSource: "toolbar-list" }
            TabButton {id:tabBtnTravel;tab: travelStack; iconSource: "toolbar-search" }
        }

        // Menu
        ToolButton {
            iconSource: "toolbar-menu"
            onClicked: {
                if (!window.menu)
                    window.menu = Utils.loadObjectByComponent(menuComponent, window)
                window.menu.open()
            }
        }

    }

    // Objects

    // Statically loaded objects
    property variant liveboardPage: LiveboardPage {}
    property variant travelPage: TravelPage {}

    // Dynamically loaded objects
    property variant aboutDialog

    // In-line defined menu component
    property variant menu
    Component {
        id: menuComponent

        Menu {
            id: menu
            content: MenuLayout {
                // About
                MenuItem {
                    text: qsTr("About")
                    onClicked: {
                        if (!aboutDialog)
                            aboutDialog = Utils.loadObjectByPath("components/AboutDialog.qml", menu)
                        aboutDialog.open()
                    }
                }

                // Quit
                MenuItem {
                    text: qsTr("Quit")
                    onClicked: Qt.quit()
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Text {
        id: statustext
        x: 2
        y: 2
        width: 230
        height: 22
        color: "#ffffff"
        text: qsTr("BeTrains")
        font.pixelSize: 20
    }
}

The last text object was for testing purposes, and it rotated as it should…

Answer 1

Not sure what is the cause but your main.qml is weird… PageStackWindow is already a Window, why you wrap it with another Window? Try to remove the Window and use PageStackWindow as top level in main.qm
