      Hi

      I'm have a problem with this code. I can't get it to work... When I try to paint the QGraphicsObject onto the QImage, I end up with the color (white in this case) that was filled in the image before the paint job. I'm using the code just as shown above. I would therefore guess that the paint method does not work. Is there any difference between doing this on the Desktop platform or the Symbian platform? Is there anything else that could make my situation different?

      @ QGraphicsObject item = qobject_cast<QGraphicsObject>(imageObj);

      if (!item) {
          qDebug() << "Item is NULL";
          return false;
      }
      
      QImage img(item->boundingRect().size().toSize(), QImage::Format_RGB32);
      img.fill(QColor(255, 255, 255).rgb());
      QPainter painter(&img);
      QStyleOptionGraphicsItem styleOption;
      item->paint(&painter, &styleOption);
      
      // Then I add the image to a database, but that should be irrelevant
      

      @

      I really, really need some help! ...I'm drawing a complete blank on this one (pun intended).

        Yay. I figured it out!

        The problem was that I was calling this save method when Image.onProgressChanged() fired and Image.progress == 1. This proved however to be before the Image was actually drawn onto the screen. The solution was to call the method when Image.onPaintedGeometryChanged() fired and Image.progress == 1.

          Hi folks,

          The snippet works but I am unsure how the path variable works on Symbian?
          What drive the image saves to when it says "saved".

          Is there a way to set a proper folder like e:\folder on symbian^3?

              Hi

              Little help please. That piece of code probably works on Qt 4.7 but in 5.3 it doesn't. -The problem lays in qobject_cast -ing since it requires the source to inherit QObject, but QML Image is based on QtObject class.-

              My bad QtObject inherits QObject but I'm still getting empty object after casting. By debugging the source imageobject seems to be normal QQuickImage object. Any ideas?

              Since I'm really inexperienced in Qt c++ part, could anyone help with that problem.

              Thanx.

                QDeclarativeView *view = new QDeclarativeView();
                QPixmap::grabWidget(view).save(outputFile, 0, 100);

                create view and grab image file in outputFile

                  Sorry, I'm not quite sure how to implement your solution. Also QDeclarativeView isn't used in Qt5 and Pixmap::grapWidget() also depricated.

                  But thnx anyways :)

                      Hi

                      Does anybody have an idea why I can't pass the Image object to the save function. The path comes over nicely but "imageObj" pointer in save() function turns out empty?

                        Hi

                        I also have an empty pointer. I do not know where to look to solve this problem.

                          For Qt 5 and later, "Canvas":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-qtquick-canvas.html has loadImage(url) and save(filename) functions.

                              I tried to use the Canvas, and also I could not save.
                              I'll try again tomorrow ..

                                Image loading and saving via Canvas:

                                @import QtQuick 2.2
                                import QtQuick.Window 2.1

                                Window {
                                width: imgLoader.sourceSize.width
                                height: imgLoader.sourceSize.height
                                visible: true
                                property string loadUrl: "file://tmp/image.png"
                                property string saveUrl: "/tmp/i2.png"

                                Canvas {
                                    id: root
                                    anchors.fill: parent
                                    onPaint: {
                                        var ctx = getContext("2d")
                                        ctx.drawImage(imgLoader, 0, 0)
                                    }
                                }
                                MouseArea {
                                    anchors.fill: parent
                                    onClicked: {
                                        if (root.save(saveUrl)) {
                                            console.log("save succeeded")
                                        }
                                        else {
                                            console.log("save failed")
                                        }
                                    }
                                }
                                Image {
                                    id: imgLoader
                                    visible: false
                                    source: loadUrl
                                }
                                

                                }@

                                Note that the parameter to Canvas::save() is a filename, not a URL. It fails when "file://tmp/i2.png" is used.

                                    does the above code really draw an image in the given path?
                                    For me the file gets created but nothing in it... i have given save url as "/storage/sdcard0/a1.png".

                                    Can u help me ?

                                    Thanks in Advance,,

                                      Hi

                                      I decided to solve this a bit differently. I created a new QML type (c++ class) that takes in image url (local or remote) and spits out local url. In case of beginning http:// or https:// class checks if image is already downloaded from the remote server and in that case spits the local url right out w/o wasting the precious mobile data bandwidth.And then there a QML component that fills out the Image type source property when the local url is returned from my so called "Caching class". If anybody's interest I can strip it out of my project and put it up to github with decent comments.

                                          Ok, I'll try to find some spare time to separate it and put it.
