hi, i would like to create a swipable timeline app.

in the app when swiping a timeline events are triggered and i want images and text occur on certain moments.

i need a lot of images and text.

what would be the best aproach to deal with lots of images triggered by the timeline points.

i was thinking about creating a json file which is a representation of the timeline with images

and tekst as a sequence of nodes.

but i do not know how to deal with the images, will it be fast enough when loaded from resource.

and i think i wil have a certain slots where images are loaded on the fly and text slots are rendered on the fly

so my question here is: is my theory correct, would this work?

or do you have some alternatives other ideas how to handle

this?

 

p.s.

i don’t want to use a grid

 

thanx in advance

Hi Bas!

The approach to use a json file to configure the nodes (text) and images (sourcePath) is correct. Displaying the images from the project resources or assets folder is definitely fast enough. You can use for example the Repeater type to visualize your json data (the model) with QML elements (the delegate).

Of course you can also manually go through your JSON data and create UI elements dynamically with Qt.createComponent.

Best,
Günther

thanx!

i will try some different approches with 130 images or so.

probably  create a script which generates the json file
