The way you'd do this with QML is something like this: MyApp.qml => single master UI file with minimal content that uses a Loader object to dynamically load either of the two variants below MyAppContentPhone.qml => master layout file for phones that includes sub-components MyAppContentTablet.qml => master layout file for tablets that includes sub-components ComponentA.qml ComponentB.qml Model.qml With all the different component files either specific to a particular form factor or shared between them depending on how you design your app. And a single model file to ensure the way data is manipulated and saved is consistent between all form factors. This way you have a single UI that dynamically decides what to do at runtime based on what device it runs on. Bruno
