+ \title Getting Started with B2Qt.Wifi in QML
+ \example wifi/wifi-qml
+ \ingroup wifi-examples
+ \brief Guide to getting started with B2Qt.Wifi using QML.
+
+ \section1 Preparing the Application
+
+ Use the following \c import statement in the QML files to access the B2Qt.Wifi QML types:
+
+ \code
+ import B2Qt.Wifi 1.0
+ \endcode
+
+ This guide will demonstrate how to create a QML based application that utilizes
+ B2Qt.Wifi API to set up a wifi network connection. We will start by looking at how to scan the
+ surroundings for wifi access points and how to display and process this data in the application.
+ At the end of the guide we will show how to connect directly to a known wifi network configuration.

+
+ \section1 Listing Wifi Networks
+
+ First we need to set up ListView which we will use to list wifi networks
+ that can be sensed by the device. The sensed network access points are packed as a list-based
+ data model and can be retrieved from WifiManager::networks. Here we also set a custom item
+ delegate and connect to WifiManager::networkStateChanged signal.

+
+ \section1 Creating a Delegate
+
+ The wifi network model has many data roles that describe the different properties of wifi networks.
+ This data can be used by an application to list detailed network information and/or to set up
+ WifiConfiguration objects. We use these network data roles in our delegate for listing
+ ssid, bssid, supported security protocols and for signal strengh representation.

+
+ \section1 Connecting To a Selected Network
+
+ WifiConfiguration element will be used to describe the network that we want to connect to,
+ selected from the network list.
+
+ \snippet wifi/wifi-qml/WifiScanner.qml 2
+
+ When \uicontrol Connect button is clicked we set the network name and password properties on
+ the \c config and pass it to WifiManager::connect, which sets up a wifi connection behind-the-scenes.
+ During this operation or whenever there are changes in the network state, QWifiManager provides
+ asynchronous QWifiManager::NetworkState change events.
+
+ \snippet wifi/wifi-qml/WifiScanner.qml 3
+
+ \section1 Connecting To a Known Network
+
+ If you are not interested in scanning the environment for wifi network access points and you already
+ know the network configuration beforehand, the network scanning, listing and selection steps can be
+ entirely skipped. This can be a valid use-case for devices that won't be changing their physical location.
+
+ QWifiManager::BackendState change events are delivered asynchronously. Therefore we have to add a signal handler
+ that will connect to the network access point after the backend initialization process has been completed,
+ if the backend is not already in the initialized state at the time of running this code.
