<p>The new version of Qt Quick in Qt 5 brings in some changes to the way QML applications are developed. For the complete list of changes that affect existing QML applications, refer to <a href="qtquick-porting-qt5.html">Porting QML Applications to Qt 5</a>.</p>
<p>This topic will walk through the porting process to make the <tt>flickr</tt> Qt 4 QML demo work on Qt 5. If you have the SDK based on Qt 4.8 installed, you can find this demo application under <tt><install_dir_root>/Examples/4.x/declarative/demos/</tt>.</p>
<p>Follow these step-by-step instructions to port the <i>flickr</i> Qt 4 QML application work to Qt 5:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>Open the <i>flickr</i> project using Qt Creator.</li>
<li>Edit all the <tt>.qml</tt> files and replace the <tt>import QtQuick 1.0</tt> statements with <tt>import QtQuick 2.0</tt>.</li>
<li>Add the additional <tt>import QtQuick.XmlListModel 2.0</tt> statement to <tt>qml/common/RssModel.qml</tt>.<p><b>Note: </b>XmlListModel is part of a submodule under QtQuick and it must be imported explicitly in order to use it.</p></li>
<li>Make the following changes to <tt>qmlapplicationviewer/qmlapplicationviewer.h</tt>:<ul>
<li>Replace the <tt>#include <QtDeclarative/QDeclarativeView></tt> with <tt>#include <QQuickView></tt>.</li>
<li>Replace <tt>QDeclarativeView</tt> with <tt>QQuickView</tt> in the class declaration for <tt>QmlApplicationViewer</tt>.</li>
<li>Replace the parameter for <tt>QmlApplicationViewer</tt> constructor from <tt>QWidget</tt> to <tt>QWindow</tt>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Make the following changes to <tt>qmlapplicationviewer/qmlapplicationviewer.cpp</tt>:<ul>
<li>Replace all the <tt>QtCore</tt> and <tt>QtDeclarative</tt> include statements with these:<pre class="cpp"><span class="preprocessor">#include <QCoreApplication></span>
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QDir></span>
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QFileInfo></span>
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QQmlComponent></span>
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QQmlEngine></span>
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QQmlContext></span>
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QDebug></span></pre>
</li>
<li>Replace all instances of <tt>QWidget</tt> with <tt>QWindow</tt>, and <tt>QDeclarativeView</tt> with <tt>QQuickView</tt>.</li>
<li>Remove the code between <tt>#if defined(Q_OS_SYMBIAN)</tt> and <tt>#endif</tt> macros as Symbian platform is not supported in Qt 5.</li>
<li>Remove the code between <tt>#if QT_VERSION < 0x040702</tt> and <tt>#else</tt>, and <tt>#endif // QT_VERSION < 0x040702</tt> macros towards the end.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Save changes to the project and run the application.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you see the application running, check whether it behaves as expected. Here is a snapshot of the application running on Ubuntu v12.04:</p>
