[Solved] Substitute of QWSMouseHandler class in QT5.x

SGaist

set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 to see what happens with your plugins

Sidii

Dear SGaist,
Thanks for highlighting my mistake actually i did this:

@export QT_DEBUG_PLUGIN=1@

instead of this:

@export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1@

So i made PLUGIN to PLUGINS now i am getting lot of thins on screen. Let me check in detail. I will get back to you.

Thanks a lot :)

Dear SGaist,

I gave following command to run my application:

@./buttonApp -plugin evdevmouse:/dev/ttyS1@

And i got following output:

Nothing is shown related to evdevmouse.
Required (.so) file is kept here:
@/home/Sid/plugins/generic/libqevdevmouseplugin.so@

Can you please guide me why it is not loading :(
What extra i need to do or some other setting i need to do.

Kindly help

Thanks

Sidii

Also i have removed -DQT_NO_DEBUG
from the makefile of evdevmouse. So now it is debug enabled.
But still i no output i am getting from qDebug statements.

It is not getting loaded :(

Sidii

Dear SGaist,
I am able to load the plugin. There was problem in the path. Thanks a lot :) for pointing to the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

I am getting qDebugs getting printed. But again i have one more doubt:

What is the difference between:

/qtbase/src/plugins/generic/evdevmouse

AND

/qtbase/src/platformsupport/input/evdevmouse

Actually to get the touch coordinates i want to add debug points to the code located in :

/qtbase/src/platformsupport/input/evdevmouse

But to my surprise, both the above locations are not interlinked.

Do i need to merge the code?

SGaist

/qtbase/src/plugins/generic/evdevmouse is only the plugin stuff

/qtbase/src/platformsupport/input/evdevmouse is the actual code

AFAIK, the input code is builtin, so if you play with it, you have to deploy the libraries

Sidii

Dear SGaist, Thanks for your reply.

I am now using serial port to read the touch screen values. Actually our touch screen is working as a mouse. I am able to get the exact touch coordinates. But now what should i do with those coordinates?
I saw that in my old QT4x code one slot was called after getting the coordinates:

@QWSMouseHandler::mouseChanged(position, state, wheel);@

But now i want to port it to the QT 5. Can u please tell me how to proceed. i have seached evdevmouse plugin but there is no such slot.

My question is that i am able to get the x and y. but how should i pass to the QT so that button can be seen as pressed. Kindly guide me.

Thanks

Sidii

Dear SGaist, i am able to detect the touch by just directly passing the touch coordinates to:
@
QWindowSystemInterface::handleMouseEvent(0, position, position, Qt::LeftButton);
@

But i dont know is this a correct way or not. Also in the header file of QWindowSystemInterface some warning is given:

@
//
// W A R N I N G
// -------------
//
// This file is part of the QPA API and is not meant to be used
// in applications. Usage of this API may make your code
// source and binary incompatible with future versions of Qt.
//

@

Kindly guide me to the correct way.

Thanks :)

SGaist

How are you doing it ?

Sidii

Dear SGaist,

Actually since tslib was not working with serial port touch screen, i wrote one program to get open the serial port and then get the coordinates. Once i get the coordinates, i immediately emit one custom signal(defined by me) and then i call my slot. Inside that slot i have written:

@
QWindowSystemInterface::handleMouseEvent(0, position, position, Qt::LeftButton);
@

So i am able to see the button getting pressed. So i am able to get the touch event. But i am not sure whether this approach is correct or not.

Kindly give your inputs.

Thanks

SGaist

AFAIK there's nothing wrong with that. However, you should create a new generic plugin (you can get some ideas from the tslib one) so you have a reusable component

Sidii

Ok thanks a lot for your guidance. At my end also finally touch screen is working and push buttons are taking the events. Marking the thread as [solved]
:)
Cheers
