Updating the Map Viewer Template in Qt Creator

Question

I'm new to AppStudio and I really would like to work from one of their provided templates. I created a very basic app using the Map Viewer templates, but I do need to change a few things within the app using QML. When I go into the Qt Creator to edit the code, the only thing that is displayed in the console is:

import "MapViewer"

MapViewerApp {

}

Is there a way to edit the provided templates?

Thanks for your help!

I am new to AppStudio and have the same question. I am new to the coding world so I am not quite sure where to begin. There are a few tools I would like to incorporate into the MapViewer template but do not know where to begin. Tools such as "Display KML" and others of the like. There is example code out there, but I am lost on where to even begin with the incorporation. Thanks.

Hi Claire,

Thanks again for your reply! Do you know if there are any resources available or anyone who could answer specific questions regarding pop-up features in AppStudio? I've hit a bit of a wall on the project I'm working on and I'm not sure where to turn. I haven't come across a lot of specific documentation.

Thanks!

Hi Erinn,

This is a bit of a tough one for me, because I'm not tremendously familiar with Map Viewer, so you might want to look around further since I'm basically just making an educated guess. But from what I can gather, you might be able to alter the output of attributes by digging into the IdentifyFeaturesView object in the PanelPage.qml file.
