[edit] Calculator.qml
The file below defines the layouts of the calculator. It uses the button below to draw nice looking button shape, that has glow effect.
import Qt 4.6 Rectangle { width: parent.width; height: 480; color: palette.window anchors.fill: parent; SystemPalette { id: palette } Script { source: "calculator.js" }
We use the system palette for colors and the calculator.js file for all of the calculation logic.
Column { x: 2; spacing: 2; Row { id: numericOperations spacing: 2
We use column layout for the numeric operations (the field that shows the calculations) layout, with small indentation (2 px) and small padding.
Rectangle { id: container width: 400; height: 55 border.color: palette.dark; color: palette.base Text { id: curNum font.bold: true; font.pointSize: 22 color: palette.text anchors.right: container.right anchors.rightMargin: 5 anchors.verticalCenter: container.verticalCenter } Text { id: currentOperation color: palette.text font.bold: true; font.pointSize: 26 anchors.left: container.left anchors.leftMargin: 5 anchors.verticalCenter: container.verticalCenter } } CalcButton { operation: "Bksp"; id: bksp; opacity: 0 } }
The Text area for the calculations, surrounded by dark border, with two text areas: the operation and the value. The operation (e.g. "*" to signal multiplication, is anchored left, and the calculation is anchored to the right.
Item { height:460; width: 420; Item { id: basicButtons x: 55; width: 460; height: 400
The above defines the compound item of the basicButtons. The actual buttons are defined below. We intend by default this with 55 so that the buttons in basic layout don't feel like they are in the left side of the screen. This padding is changed in the transition to advanced layout.
Row { id: commonOperations spacing: 0 height:150 CalcButton { operation: "Advanced" id: advancedCheckBox width: 160 toggable: true } CalcButton { operation: "C"; id: c; } CalcButton { operation: "AC"; id: ac;} }
Common operations to clean the calculations are on one row, along with special wider toggle button for advanced mode.
Grid { id: numKeypad; y:60; spacing: 0; columns: 3 CalcButton { operation: "7" } CalcButton { operation: "8" } CalcButton { operation: "9" } CalcButton { operation: "4" } CalcButton { operation: "5" } CalcButton { operation: "6" } CalcButton { operation: "1" } CalcButton { operation: "2" } CalcButton { operation: "3" } CalcButton { operation: "0" } CalcButton { operation: "." } CalcButton { operation: "=" } }
Normal numbers and . and = keys are in grid layout
Column { id: simpleOperations x: 240; y: 60; spacing: 0 CalcButton { operation: "x" } CalcButton { operation: "/" } CalcButton { operation: "-" } CalcButton { operation: "+" } } }
Basic calculation operations are in one column (for easy layouting).
Grid { id: advancedButtons x: 250; spacing: 0; columns: 2; opacity: 0 CalcButton { operation: "Abs" } CalcButton { operation: "Int" } CalcButton { operation: "MC" } CalcButton { operation: "Sqrt" } CalcButton { operation: "MR" } CalcButton { operation: "^2" } CalcButton { operation: "MS" } CalcButton { operation: "1/x" } CalcButton { operation: "M+" } CalcButton { operation: "+/-" } } Row { id: trigonometryOperations spacing: 0;opacity: 0;y: 280;x:40 CalcButton { operation: "Sin" } CalcButton { operation: "Cos" } CalcButton { operation: "Tan" } CalcButton { operation: "Log" } CalcButton { operation: "e^x" } CalcButton { operation: "x^y" } }
Advanced operations are in 2x5 grid and trigonometry operations are on one row. Easy positioning of those compound elements.
} } states: State { name: "Advanced"; when: advancedCheckBox.toggled == true PropertyChanges { target: basicButtons; x: 0 } PropertyChanges { target: bksp; opacity: 1 } PropertyChanges { target: commonOperations; x: 0; } PropertyChanges { target: advancedButtons; x: 320; opacity: 1 } PropertyChanges { target: trigonometryOperations; x:0; y: 300; opacity: 1 } }
States definition for advanced mode. Basic mode doesn't need to be defined, as we have defined that already as the default mode of operation. For advanced state, we modify the backspace to be visible, we move basic buttons a bit, we enable advanced and trigonometry buttons and move them a bit for visual candy.
transitions: Transition { NumberAnimation { matchProperties: "x,y,width"; easing: "easeOutBounce"; duration: 500 } NumberAnimation { matchProperties: "opacity"; easing: "easeInOutQuad"; duration: 500 } } }
Above defines the animations for the transition to and from advanced mode.
[edit] CalcButton
The code below makes a button that has a glow effect when tapped on.
import Qt 4.6 Rectangle { property alias operation: label.text property bool toggable: false property bool toggled: false signal clicked id: button; width: 80; height: 60 color: "black" BorderImage { id: img width: parent.width height: parent.height border.left: 14 border.right: 14 source:"Button_h.png" transformOrigin: Item.Center } BorderImage { id: bgimg width: parent.width height: parent.height border.left: 14 border.right: 14 source:"Button.png" } Text { id: label; anchors.centerIn: parent; color: palette.buttonText }
On the above, we define the bg of the button and the highlight of the button. The highlight is img and the bg image is, well, bgimg.
MouseRegion { id: clickRegion anchors.fill: parent onClicked: { doOp(operation); button.clicked(); if (!button.toggable) return; button.toggled ? button.toggled = false : button.toggled = true } }
Above handles the mouse clicks.
states: [ State { name: "Pressed"; when: clickRegion.pressed == true PropertyChanges { target: img; scale: 2.0 } PropertyChanges { target: button; z: 1 } PropertyChanges { target: button.parent; z: 1 } PropertyChanges { target: button.parent.parent; z: 1 } PropertyChanges { target: img; z: 1.1 } PropertyChanges { target: img; opacity: 0 } } ]
Above defines state "pressed", which triggers the highlight to come up all the way, moves all of the parent objects also up in the stack and sets target opacity for the highlight to be 0.
transitions: Transition { NumberAnimation { matchProperties: "z,scale"; easing: "easeOutExpo"; duration: 200 } NumberAnimation { matchProperties: "opacity"; easing: "easeInQuad"; duration: 300 } } }
Above defines the transitions for the button.
[edit] Calculator.js
I won't comment the javascript code. It's self explanatory.
var curVal = 0; var memory = 0; var lastOp = ""; var timer = 0; function disabled(op) { if (op == "." && curNum.text.toString().search(/\./) != -1) { return true; } else if (op == "Sqrt" && curNum.text.toString().search(/-/) != -1) { return true; } else { return false; } } function doOp(op) { if (disabled(op)) { return; } if (op.toString().length==1 && ((op >= "0" && op <= "9") || op==".") ) { if (curNum.text.toString().length >= 14) return; // No arbitrary length numbers if (lastOp.toString().length == 1 && ((lastOp >= "0" && lastOp <= "9") || lastOp==".") ) { curNum.text = curNum.text + op.toString(); } else { curNum.text = op; } lastOp = op; return; } lastOp = op; // Pending operations if (currentOperation.text == "+") { curNum.text = Number(curNum.text.valueOf()) + Number(curVal.valueOf()); } else if (currentOperation.text == "-") { curNum.text = Number(curVal) - Number(curNum.text.valueOf()); } else if (currentOperation.text == "x") { curNum.text = Number(curVal) * Number(curNum.text.valueOf()); } else if (currentOperation.text == "x^y") { curNum.text = (Math.pow(Number(curVal),curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (currentOperation.text == "/") { curNum.text = Number(Number(curVal) / Number(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (currentOperation.text == "=") { } if (op == "+" || op == "-" || op == "x" || op=="x^y" || op == "/") { currentOperation.text = op; curVal = curNum.text.valueOf(); return; } curVal = 0; currentOperation.text = ""; // Immediate operations if (op == "1/x") { // reciprocal curNum.text = (1 / curNum.text.valueOf()).toString(); } else if (op == "^2") { // squared curNum.text = (curNum.text.valueOf() * curNum.text.valueOf()).toString(); } else if (op == "Abs") { curNum.text = (Math.abs(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "Sin") { curNum.text = (Math.sin(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "Cos") { curNum.text = (Math.cos(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "Tan") { curNum.text = (Math.tan(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "Log") { curNum.text = (Math.log(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "e^x") { curNum.text = (Math.exp(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "Int") { curNum.text = (Math.floor(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "+/-") { // plus/minus curNum.text = (curNum.text.valueOf() * -1).toString(); } else if (op == "Sqrt") { // square root curNum.text = (Math.sqrt(curNum.text.valueOf())).toString(); } else if (op == "MC") { // memory clear memory = 0; } else if (op == "M+") { // memory increment memory += curNum.text.valueOf(); } else if (op == "MR") { // memory recall curNum.text = memory.toString(); } else if (op == "MS") { // memory set memory = curNum.text.valueOf(); } else if (op == "Bksp") { curNum.text = curNum.text.toString().slice(0, -1); } else if (op == "C") { curNum.text = "0"; } else if (op == "AC") { curVal = 0; memory = 0; lastOp = ""; curNum.text ="0"; } }
