Scrolling

Guidelines

Scrolling on touch UIs always has to apply these principles:

It has to be done by flicking
It has to be accelerated
It has to be "kinetic" (meaning that the scrolling does not immediately stop when the finger is lifted after flicking, but decelerates instead)
There are never scrollbars, only a scroll indicator

Code

Use this to get a scrolling area that applies the principles above. The component will automatically display a scroll indicator on Plasma Active and a scrollbar on Plasma Desktop.

import org.kde.plasma.extracomponents 0.1 as PlasmaExtras

PlasmaExtras.ScrollArea {

    //The Flickable can be a ListView or GridView as well
    Flickable {
       //contents
    }
}
