''Qt 4.6 for Fremantle, included in [[Maemo 5/PR1.2|PR1.2]], includes the same functionality without the need for additional libraries. The extra libraries described below are '''obsolete'''.''

Maemo Qt Extra Libraries are extensions to the community supported Qt (version 4.5) available for [[Open development/Maemo roadmap/Fremantle|Maemo5 aka Fremantle]]. The libraries provide easier access to Fremantle specific functionality for Maemo Qt application developers. The libraries functionality include for example screen orientation changing and displaying [[Hildon]] notifications.

== Installing Qt Extra Libs ==

The libraries are currently available from [[extras-devel]]. Libraries can be installed using apt-get. Note that on the device you have to have root shell enabled.

== Installation to Scratchbox ==

Install libraries and development headers by running
 fakeroot apt-get install qhildon-notifications qhildon-widgetcapabilities qhildon-systemcapabilities qmaemo-ext-libs-dev

== Installation to N900 ==

To install the libraries you have to have root shell enabled in the device. Access root shell and run

apt-get install qhildon-notifications qhildon-systemcapabilities qhildon-widgetcapabilities

Metapackages for installing all the libraries with single install will be available soon.

== Minimal API documentation ==

''Please note that all the classes are inside Maemo namespace.''

'''QHildon-WidgetCapabilities'''
 '''QOrientationCapability'''
 
 QOrientationCapability(QWidget* parent, bool automaticOrientationUpdate = false)
 ''set application window as the parent. Usually derived from QMainWindow''
 ''set the second parameter to true, if you want the orientation change''
 ''when you physically turn the device. Otherwise you can leave out the''
 ''second parameter.'' 
 
 void setOrientation(QOrientation orientation);
 ''Set screen orientation to QOrientation''
 ''Use value Maemo::Landscape or Maemo::Portrait''
 
 void setListeningForOrientationChanges(bool enabled)
 ''Set automatic orientation changing on/off''
 
 void orientationChanged(QOrientation orientation) 
 ''This signal is emitted when orientation changes.''

'''QHildon-Notifications'''
 '''QOrientationCapability'''
 
 QNotifications(QObject *parent = 0)
 ''Constructor''
 
 void showBanner(const QString &text)
 ''Shows Hildon banner with text''
 
 void showSystemNote(const QString &text)
 ''Shows system note with text.''

'''QHildon-SystemCapabilities'''
 '''QOrientationInfo'''
 
 static QOrientationInfo *instance()
 ''Get pointer to the QOrientation object''
 ''Usage: QOrientationInfo::instance()''
 
 void startListening()
 void stopListening()
 ''Start/Stop listening to device orientation''
 
 void orientationChanged(qreal pitch, qreal roll)
 ''Connect to this signal to get the devices pitch and roll''

== Example application ==
