IconProvider

IconProvider is a Qt/ Sailfish Os helper library. With it you can define sets of icons from qrc or local resources then access them with a single id. Also with monochrome png you can add a colour on the fly, making it mobile friendly.

simple, only consist of 1 class to add to your project
wokrs with qrc or plain url

qml ready, just register IconProvider as a service, use regular image:// url

Some example

You can use IconProvider from both Qt and Qml

Registering a new provider "MyProvider"

// from the main process
// get a ref to the view
QScopedPointer view(SailfishApp::createView());
// create a new provider, register it for qml, add qrc and additional resources from "qml/images"
IconProvider::init(view.data(),"MyProvider", "qml/images");
