QtInfo app reveals what’s under the hood

The free QtInfo app is perfect if you are a developer who needs to know what version of the Qt framework is running in a Nokia phone, or if you’re a geek who likes to know that level of detail. Launch the app to reveal the Qt version and build currently installed, with details tailored for developers. For example, the report below shows that Qt 4.7.4 is installed along with the list of installed modules. If you scroll down the screen you’ll see more details of the installation, including the versions of Qt Quick, OpenGL, and WebKit. The report includes information about audio, video, and image formats supported by the current installation. You’ll even see optional Qt Components installed from packages com.nokia.symbian, qt.labs.components, and qt.labs.components.native.

QtInfo also reveals information about the execution environment as seen by the Qt framework. You will see information about the country and language currently selected, available network interfaces and addresses, and information about local hardware including sensors, WiFi, Bluetooth, screen parameters, etc.

QtInfo adapts to the available environment, allowing it to work across a wide range of devices and installation configurations. For example, the screen shot above was coded in QML to take advantage of Qt Quick available in the Qt 4.7.4 installation. The following screen shot was built with QtWidgets for execution in older versions (Qt 4.6.4). If you run QtInfo on a Symbian device with no Qt framework installed, it will use Avkon components to report the lack of a Qt installation.

Once QtInfo acquires all the information, you can capture the report to Clipboard, Pastebin,  Email, or write it to a file on local mass-storage.

QtInfo is an open source application developed by Attila Csipa, Lauri Jaaskela and Lucian Tomuta.
