take a look at this example app: blog http://bit.ly/qt-drawer-nav-x
and at github: https://github.com/ekke/drawer_nav_x
Drawer, Bottom Navigation, FAB, Popup, Toast, StackView, SwipeView,
Pages, ...
some fine-tuning is already in-development (have written bugreports for
this)

the only controls I'm missing are Date- and Time Pickers


I'm still evaluating, but have a good feeling that Qt 5.7 will be great
for mobile business apps I'm writing
