Pages and Transitions Spec

Requirements

• By default, simple slide transition to next page

• When using the card page style, the card overlays the toolbar and the actions are displayed in the card

• The app can define complex transitions from the tapped view to the new page (Material Design example)

• Different toolbar layouts

  • Standard app bar

  • Expanded height

  • Card overlay

  • Floating toolbar

  • Split-column toolbars

  • Transparent toolbars

  • Custom content

Relevant Android docs

• Custom activity transitions

Ideas

• Use transition classes to handle the transitions

• Uses QtQuick states & transitions to handle the transitions

  • A limitation of states & transitions is that we can't animate to or from anchors really easily. So the actual layout would need to use x, y, width, and height.

Possible API

Page {

    // A group property for customizing the page's app bar
    appbar {
        // Hide the app bar, for a custom toolbar or just to hide it
        property bool hidden 
        
        // Override the default color of the app bar
        property color backgroundColor 
        
        // Set up content for an extended header. Hides the default title label
        property Item extendedContent
        
        // Set up content to replace the default title label
        property Item content
    }
    
    // Display the page styled as a card
    property bool cardStyle
}
