    \title Sensor Explorer
    \brief The Sensor Explorer example demonstrates how to read the meta-data of available sensors.
    \ingroup b2qt-demos

    \section2 Sensor Explorer in QML


    This example is divided into two parts:

    \list
    \li A C++ plug-in that provides QML alternatives for QSensorExplorer, QPropertyInfo and the QSensorItem classes.
    \li A QML Application that uses the QML alternatives to read the sensors meta-data and present it.
    \endlist


    This is a pure QML application that can be run from Qt Creator or directly using the
    \c qmlscene binary. You should install the other C++ plug-in before trying to run
    this example, otherwise it will not find its dependencies.

    \code
    qmlscene main.qml
    \endcode

    To write a QML application that will use the Explorer QML type you need to do the following steps:

    Import the Explorer 1.0 declarative plugin:

    \snippet sensorexplorer/main.qml 0

    Create a SensorExplorer QML item:

    \snippet sensorexplorer/main.qml 1

    You can retrieve a list of all available sensors using the SensorExplorer:

    \snippet sensorexplorer/main.qml 2

    To retrieve the properties of a SensorItem use:

    \snippet sensorexplorer/main.qml 3

    Changing a property value can be done like:

    \snippet sensorexplorer/main.qml 4

    Starting and stopping a sensor can be done like:

    \snippet sensorexplorer/main.qml 5
