How to implement swipeview QtQuick 2.5 - qt

Question

I have QT 5.5 and it won't support SwipeView. I tried doing with listView but I am not getting what I expected. I want a similar functionality code in QT 5.5 like the code given below which is written in QT 5.6. Please help
import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
Window {
visible: true
width: 200
height: 400
title: qsTr("Hello World")
id: page
SwipeView {
id: swipeView
anchors.fill: parent
currentIndex: 0
Page {
Label {
text: qsTr("First page")
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
Page {
Label {
text: qsTr("Second page")
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
Page {
Label {
text: qsTr("Third page")
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
Page {
Label {
text: qsTr("Fourth page")
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
Page {
Label {
text: qsTr("Fifth page")
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
}
Rectangle
{
id:minus
width:parent.width/2
height:100
anchors.left:parent.left
anchors.bottom:parent.bottom
color:"red"
MouseArea
{
anchors.fill:parent
onClicked:{
if(swipeView.currentIndex>0)
swipeView.currentIndex--
}
}
}
Rectangle
{
id:plus
width:parent.width/2
height:100
anchors.right:parent.right
anchors.bottom:parent.bottom
color:"green"
MouseArea
{
anchors.fill:parent
onClicked:{
if(swipeView.currentIndex<4)
swipeView.currentIndex++
}
}
}
}

If you cannot update your Qt version, you can indeed approximate a SwipeView using a ListView, a VisualItemModel, and a default qml property.
SwipeView.qml
ListView
{
id: root
// Allow to add pages as you would for a QtQuick.Controls 2 SwipeView
// Each item you declare in your SwipeView will be reparented to itemModel
default property alias items: itemModel.children
// SwipeView is horizontal
orientation: Qt.Horizontal
// Hide out of bounds pages
clip: true
// Do not stop between two pages
snapMode: ListView.SnapToItem
// Update currentIndex as you swipe through the pages
highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
model: VisualItemModel {
id: itemModel
// Used to bind the pages size to the swipeView size
onChildrenChanged: {
for(var i=0;i<children.length; i++)
{
children[i].width = Qt.binding(function(){return root.width})
children[i].height = Qt.binding(function(){return root.height})
}
}
}
}
Page.qml
Item {
property string title
Rectangle
{
anchors.fill: parent
border.width: 1
}
Text
{
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.top: parent.top
anchors.topMargin: 20
text: title
}
}
PageIndicator.qml
Row
{
id: root
property int count
property int currentIndex
property Component delegate: bullet
property bool interactive
spacing: 5
Component
{
id: bullet
Rectangle
{
height: 10
width: height
radius: height/2
color:"black"
opacity: currentIndex==index?0.8:0.2
}
}
Repeater
{
model: root.count
Loader
{
property int index: model.index
sourceComponent: delegate
}
}
}
main.qml
import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
ApplicationWindow
{
id: window
visible: true
width: 300
height: 300
SwipeView
{
id: swipeView
anchors.fill: parent
Page
{
title: "Page 1"
}
Page
{
title: "Page 2"
}
Page
{
title: "Page 3"
}
}
PageIndicator
{
id: pageIndicator
anchors.bottom: swipeView.bottom
anchors.bottomMargin: 10
anchors.horizontalCenter: swipeView.horizontalCenter
count: swipeView.count
currentIndex: swipeView.currentIndex
}
}

Qt Quick Controls 2 was introduced in Qt 5.7:
Qt Quick Controls 2 provides a set of controls that can be used to build complete interfaces in Qt Quick. The module was introduced in Qt 5.7.
Qt Labs Controls was introduced in Qt 5.6, so the code that you referenced would have to use the Qt.labs.controls 1.0 import in order to run with Qt 5.6.
You need to use a newer Qt version (5.6 or newer).
