Retrieve weather forecast

deepnguyen · wrote on 22 Oct 2012, 05:18

by the way I'm using QtCreator 2.4.1 base on Qt 4.7.4(32 bit)

and one more question, when i'm trying to use the QtNetworkAccessManager I can't do
@#include <QtNetwork>@

but I have to
@#include <QtNetwork/QtNetworkAccessManager>@

the same for QtNetworkReply, QtNetworkRequest

anyone know the reason to this?

You should read reply in slotFinished().

@
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_3_clicked()
{

QNetworkAccessManager *networkAccessManager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
connect(networkAccessManager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),this, SLOT(slotFinished(QNetworkReply*)));

QUrl url("http://rss.weatherzone.com.au/?u=12994-1285&lt=aploc&lc=9388&obs=1&fc=1&warn=1");

QNetworkReply *reply = networkAccessManager->get(QNetworkRequest(url));connect(reply, SIGNAL(error(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)),this,SLOT(slotError( QNetworkReply::NetworkError)));

}

void MainWindow::slotFinished(QNetworkReply* reply)
{
if(reply->error() != QNetworkReply::NoError)
{
qCritical() << reply->errorString();
return;
}
QXmlStreamReader reader( reply );
reader.readNext();
while (!reader.atEnd()) {
if (reader.isStartElement()) {
if (reader.name() == "title") {
reader.readNext();
if (reader.text() == "Brisbane weather forecast") {
//blah blah blah
}
}
}
}

}

It raised the same error, the 0xc0000139 thing. Keep getting that every time i use QtNetwork

When I tried to run the file in my debug folder with all the needed dll i got

Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point _Z15qIsEffectiveTLDRK7QString could not be located in the dynamic link library QtCored4.dll.

and if I try to debug it it raised

The program has unexpectedly finished.
C:\Users\DeepBlue\Documents\Qt\Clock-build-desktop-Qt_4_8_1_for_Desktop_-_MinGW__Qt_SDK__Debug\debug\Clock.exe exited with code -1073741511

I just know that -1073741511 = 0xc0000139.

I don't see possible error here. It is somewhere else... Set some breakpoints and debug your app step-by-step

Well I managed to clean up the Build Environment and it works now, turn out I was using the wrong environment variables.

now when I tried to debug i get 2 errors
Object::connect: No such slot MainWindow::slotFinished(QNetworkReply*) in ..\Clock\mainwindow.cpp:755
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such slot MainWindow::slotError( QNetworkReply::NetworkError) in ..\Clock\mainwindow.cpp:757
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')

Ok I know what to do now, thanks a lot AcerExtensa

My code after I clean up a bit is

@void MainWindow::on_pushButton_3_clicked()
{

QNetworkAccessManager * manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(slotFinished(QNetworkReply*)));
QUrl url("http://rss.weatherzone.com.au/?u=12994-1285&lt=aploc&lc=9388&obs=1&fc=1&warn=1");

manager->get(QNetworkRequest(url));

}

void MainWindow::slotFinished(QNetworkReply* reply)
{
if(reply->error() != QNetworkReply::NoError)
{
qCritical() << reply->errorString();
return;
}
QXmlStreamReader reader( reply );
reader.readNext();
while (!reader.atEnd()) {
if (reader.isStartElement()) {
if (reader.name() == "title") {
reader.readNext();
if (reader.text() == "Brisbane weather forecast") {
//blah blah blah
qDebug()<< reader.text();
}
}
}
}

}@

When I debug, whenever I click the button the program freeze up. Where is the problem--?

lol silly me, I didn't put

@reader.readNext();@

in the while loop, and I keep checking my slot connections

-Hm, it can be only because of while loop. but it should not take more then some seconds...-

I'm almost there but I need a way to split this string and my head is going dumb now. How can i get only the Days and the weather status?

the problem is, your choosen service returns RSS feed with forecast as simple html text in [CDATA]... So, you need to parse it yourself... For example with "QRegExp":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qregexp.html parse days first(there is only 7 days), after that parse temperature, it may always have format like:
+/- <min 1 digit - max 2digits>°<ignore symbols> - <ignore symbols> +/- <min 1 digit - max 2 digit>°
