Places (QML)▲
The Places example demonstrates how to search for Places. In particular it shows how further information such as reviews, images and related content can be retrieved.
Running the Example▲
To run the example from http://, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit http://.
The example can work with any of the available geo services plugins. However, some plugins may require additional https:// in order to function correctly. https:// can be passed on the command line using the --plugin argument, which takes the form:
--plugin.<parameter name> <parameter value>Refer to the documentation for each of the geo services plugins for details on what plugin parameters they support. The default plugin used by this example is https://, which does not require any parameters.
Overview▲
The Places example presents an application window displaying a map. At the top of the window is a search box, which is used to enter a place search query. To search for a place enter a search term into the text box and click the magnifying glass icon. To search for a place by category, click the category icon to display the list of available categories and select the desired category. The place search query will be for places that are near the current location shown on the map.
For some plugins like https:// the search box provides search term suggestions when three or more characters are entered. Selecting one of the suggestions will cause a place search to be performed with the selected search text.
Clicking on a search result will display details about the place. If a places has rich content (editorials, reviews and images), these can be accessed by the buttons on the details page. To find similar places click the "Find similar" button.
The geo service provider can be changed by accessing the "Provider" menu.
Displaying Categories▲
Before search by category can be performed, the list of available categories needs to be retrieved. This is achieved by creating a https://.
CategoryModel {
id: categoryModel
hierarchical: true
}The https:// type provides a model of the available categories. It can provide either a flat list or a hierarchical tree model. In this example, we use a hierarchical tree model, by setting the https:// property to true. The https:// property is set during example intalization.
Next we create a https:// to display the category model.
ListView {
id: root
property variant categoryModel
property variant rootIndex
signal searchCategory(variant category)
signal showSubcategories(variant index)
snapMode: ListView.SnapToItem
model: DelegateModel {
id: delegeteDataModel
model: root.categoryModel
rootIndex: root.rootIndex
delegate: CategoryDelegate {
onSearchCategory: root.searchCategory(category);
onShowSubcategories: root.showSubcategories(delegeteDataModel.modelIndex(index))
}
}
}Because a hierarchical model is being used, a https:// is needed to provide navigation functionality. If flat list model was being used the view could use the https:// directly.
The rootIndex property sets the root index of the https://. Categories are displayed by the CategoryDelegate, which provides two signals. The onShowSubcategories emits the showSubcategories() signal with root index to the current index causing the sub categories of the selected category to be displayed. The onSearchCategory handler emits the searchCategory() signal with a category parameter indicating which specific category has been chosen.
The CategoryDelegate displays the category name and emits the searchCategory() signal when the https:// is clicked:
Label {
id: labelItem
text: category.name
anchors.left: icon.right
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
anchors.right: arrow.left
}
MouseArea {
id: mouse
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: root.searchCategory()
}The CategoryDelegate also displays arrow https:// when hasModelChildren property is set.
ToolButton {
id: arrow
anchors.right: parent.right
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
anchors.rightMargin: 15
visible: model.hasModelChildren
iconSource: "../../resources/right.png"
onClicked: root.showSubcategories()
}Presenting Search Suggestions▲
The https:// type is used to fetch suggested search terms based on a partially entered search term.
A new suggestion search is triggered whenever the entered search term is changed.
SearchBar {
id: searchBar
onSearchTextChanged: {
if (searchText.length >= 3 && suggestionModel != null) {
suggestionModel.searchTerm = searchText;
suggestionModel.update();
}
}
}Suggestions are only queried if the length of the search term is three or more characters.
When the status of the https:// changes, search suggestions are displayed.
PlaceSearchSuggestionModel {
id: suggestionModel
searchArea: searchRegion
onStatusChanged: {
if (status == PlaceSearchSuggestionModel.Ready)
stackView.showSuggestions()
}
}The main object in the "SuggestionsShown" state is the https:// showing the search suggestions.
ListView {
id: suggestionView
property variant suggestionModel
signal suggestionSelected(string text)
model: suggestionModel
delegate: Item {
width: parent.width
height: label.height * 1.5
Label {
id: label
text: suggestion
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: suggestionSelected(suggestion)
}
}
}A https:// object is used as the delegate to display the suggestion text. Clicking on the suggested search term updates the search term and triggers a place search using the search suggestion.
Searching for Places▲
The https:// type is used to search for places.
PlaceSearchModel {
id: placeSearchModel
searchArea: searchRegion
function searchForCategory(category) {
searchTerm = "";
categories = category;
recommendationId = "";
searchArea = searchRegion
limit = -1;
update();
}
function searchForText(text) {
searchTerm = text;
categories = null;
recommendationId = "";
searchArea = searchRegion
limit = -1;
update();
}
function searchForRecommendations(placeId) {
searchTerm = "";
categories = null;
recommendationId = placeId;
searchArea = null;
limit = -1;
update();
}
onStatusChanged: {
switch (status) {
case PlaceSearchModel.Ready:
if (count > 0)
stackView.showPlaces()
else
stackView.showMessage(qsTr("Search Place Error"),qsTr("Place not found !"))
break;
case PlaceSearchModel.Error:
stackView.showMessage(qsTr("Search Place Error"),errorString())
break;
}
}
}First some of the model's properties are set, which will be used to form the search request. The https:// property is set to the searchRegion object which is a https:// with a center that is linked to the current location displayed on the https://.
Finally, we define three helper functions searchForCategory(), searchForText() and searchForRecommendations() which set either the https:// or https:// or https:// properties and invokes the https://() method to start the place search. The search results are displayed in a https://.
ListView {
id: searchView
width: parent.width
height: parent.height
property variant placeSearchModel
signal showPlaceDetails(variant place, variant distance)
signal showMap()
model: placeSearchModel
delegate: SearchResultDelegate {
onShowPlaceDetails: searchView.showPlaceDetails(place, distance)
onSearchFor: placeSearchModel.searchForText(query);
}
footer:
RowLayout {
width: parent.width
Button {
text: qsTr("Previous")
enabled: placeSearchModel.previousPagesAvailable
onClicked: placeSearchModel.previousPage()
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter
}
Button {
text: qsTr("Clear")
onClicked: {
placeSearchModel.reset()
showMap()
}
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter
}
Button {
text: qsTr("Next")
enabled: placeSearchModel.nextPagesAvailable
onClicked: placeSearchModel.nextPage()
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter
}
}
}The delegate used in the https://, SearchResultDelegate, is designed to handle multiple search result types via a https:// object. For results of type PlaceResult the delegate is:
Component {
id: placeComponent
Item {
id: placeRoot
width: root.width
height: Math.max(icon.height, 3 * placeName.height)
Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
color: "#44ffffff"
visible: mouse.pressed
}
Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
color: "#dbffde"
visible: model.sponsored !== undefined ? model.sponsored : false
Label {
text: qsTr("Sponsored result")
horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight
anchors.right: parent.right
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
font.pixelSize: 8
visible: model.sponsored !== undefined ? model.sponsored : false
}
}
GridLayout {
rows: 2
columns: 2
anchors.fill: parent
anchors.leftMargin: 30
flow: GridLayout.TopToBottom
Image {
// anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
id:icon
source: place.favorite ? "../../resources/star.png" : place.icon.url()
Layout.rowSpan: 2
}
Label {
id: placeName
text: place.favorite ? place.favorite.name : place.name
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
Label {
id: distanceText
font.italic: true
text: Helper.formatDistance(distance)
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
}
Rectangle {
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
anchors.margins: 15
height: 1
color: "#46a2da"
}
MouseArea {
id: mouse
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
if (model.type === undefined || type === PlaceSearchModel.PlaceResult) {
if (!place.detailsFetched)
place.getDetails();
root.showPlaceDetails(model.place, model.distance);
}
}
}
}
}Displaying Place Content▲
Places can have additional rich content, including editorials, reviews and images. Rich content is accessed via a set of models. Content models are generally not created directly by the application developer, instead models are obtained from the https://, https:// and https:// properties of the https:// type.
ListView {
id:view
property Place place
signal showEditorial(variant editorial)
width: parent.width
height: parent.height
model: place.editorialModel
delegate: EditorialDelegate {
onShowEditorial: view.showEditorial(model)
}
