Android Shared Storage Qt Wrapper A New Qt (5.x & 6.x) Library for Complete Shared Storage Access
In this article, I’d like to talk about Android storage. In recent Android versions, Google decided, for a good reason, to restrict the access to the SD card. This means, even if your application will have the old READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions declared and granted, you won’t be able to freely access the SD Card contents like […]
6 Steps for Legacy Software Migrations
Let’s say you’ve already made the decision to do a legacy software migration. So, what’s next? This blog will go over the most important steps in a legacy software migration, to help you execute your own.
KDE Frameworks – Part 3 KCoreAddons
Qt provides a rich set of high-quality, cross-platform APIs, but can't cover every possible use case. KDE has created code to fill these gaps in its many projects, sharing these libraries as KDE Frameworks.
Structured Bindings with Qt SQL
Some time ago, I wrote a post about integrating Qt’s associative containers with the fancy new C++ features, range-based for loops with structured bindings. That post inspired KDAB’s own Giuseppe D’Angelo to add the asKeyValueRange member function to both QHash and QMap. Now it’s possible to iterate over them with a simple range-based for loop, […]
Say No to Qt Style Sheets Making the Right Choice Between QStyle and Qt Style Sheets, Upfront
You have two choices when it comes to giving a custom style to your Qt widgets. Qt Style Sheets are very convenient for getting started — just a few CSS-like rules, and they work. It is our experience, however, that Qt Style Sheets create too much trouble and a QStyle subclass (*) gives a better […]
CXX-Qt Safe Rust Bindings for Qt
At KDAB, we have been investigating how to integrate Rust with Qt in a safe and idiomatic way. The solution we are currently working on is called CXX-Qt. It’s available in the GitHub and on crates.io. This blog post discusses the journey of CXX-Qt — where it started, where it can be used right now, […]

Loose Coupling with Signals & Slots Connecting (Almost) Any Function to a Signal
Here at KDAB, we recently published a library called KDBindings, which aims to reimplement both Qt signals and slots and data binding in pure C++17. To get an introduction to the KDBindings implementation of signals and slots, I recommend that you take a look at the KDBindings Getting Started Guide. It will give you an […]
