Integrating LVGL Pro with an existing PlatformIO project

LVGL Pro

Hi there. Thank you for such a wonderful product, and for making LVGL Pro available to the community.

For context, I’ve been working on a personal project with PlatformIO in vscode for an ESP32. I’m using various inputs and outputs (buttons, encoders, speakers etc.), and one of them is a SPI display which I’ve managed to get successfully working with LVGL and LovyanGFX.

I have installed LVGL Pro and have had a play around in the hope that it can streamline the creation of the UI I have in mind. I can export the code from my XML screens in LVGL Pro, but so far I’m unclear on how I would use it to integrate with my existing project. Copying the generated .c and .h files from my LVGL Pro project into my PlatformIO/vscode project while preserving the folder structure seems like it would be a bit tedious, not to mention mapping my buttons and functions etc.

Are you able to tell me if I’m simply misunderstanding how LVGL Pro is supposed to be used?

Cheers!

Matt

You can put the LVGL Pro project under the lib folder in your PlatformIO project

You could also import it via the platformio.ini file by specifying the path
can be from GitHub or even on your local machine

Here is an example of a project that uses the UI from a GitHub repo

And another using the UI in the lib folder
