Detailed Description

An WidgetApplication class object should be created by every widget application that wishes to use Dali.

It provides a means for initializing the resources required by the Dali::Core.

The WidgetApplication class emits several signals which the user can connect to. The user should not create any Dali objects in the main function and instead should connect to the Init signal of the WidgetApplication and create the Dali Widget object in the connected callback.

WidgetApplications should follow the example below:

 //Widget header which
 #include <my-widget.h>

 class ExampleController: public ConnectionTracker
 {
 public:
   ExampleController( Application& application )
   : mWidgetApplication( application )
   {
     mApplication.InitSignal().Connect( this, &ExampleController::Create );
   }

   static Widget CreateWidgetFunction(const std::string& widgetName)
   {
     MyWidget widget = MyWidget::New();
     return widget;
   }

   void Create( Application& application )
   {
     mApplication.RegisterWidgetCreatingFunction( "myWidget", &ExampleController::CreateWidgetFunction );
   }

 private:
   WidgetApplication& mWidgetApplication;
 };

 int main (int argc, char **argv)
 {
   WidgetApplication app = WidgetApplication::New(&argc, &argv);
   ExampleController example( app );
   app.MainLoop();
 }

If required, you can also connect class member functions to a signal:

 MyWidgetApplication app;
 app.ResumeSignal().Connect(&app, &MyWidgetApplication::Resume);
