Hello World for Symbian^3 with Qt Quick components done using Qt Creator

Tutorial shows you how to get simple Hello world app for Symbian^3 using Qt SDK and how to run it in simulator. You will learn how to
1. create new project in Qt Creator
2. update Qt creator if there are updates available
3. save your project
4. solve QML module not found issue
5. build and run project in simulator


This code is tested on Symbian Anna and Belle phones. This code was written using QtSDK 1.4.4. and Qt Creator 2.4.0 Based on Qt 4.7.4 (32 bit) Built on Dec 16 2011 at 03:25:42. At the moment of writing this text it was latest version of QtSDK available. With newer versions of Qt the code will probably change and it will get updated. If the code changes the logic behind is will stay the same so this video will be of some use to you.
