How can i write any data on directory

[Armin]

@mrjj Thanks
Why in this example you have pointed to class?

[mrjj]

@Armin
because connects wants the address of a real objects.
like in
ClassX * inst= new ClassX;
inst is the right kind for connect.
Its a instance of the type/class ClassX;

Its not for all ClassX created, but only
for those you connect.

@mrjj I feel, your code is hard and twisted , so can you make it simpler for me?

No it's not, I wouldn't know how to make it easier. You should probably take a look at http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html

• no need to use the "controversial" sender() here, just pass reply by value in the capturing group of the lambda
• do not use C-cast to downcast, it's unsafe, use dynamic_cast or, if it's a QObject as it's always the case when calling sender(), qobject_cast
• if the downloaded file is too big you might run out of memory if you wait for finished do the processing as soon as there is data available using readyRead

QFile* file=new QFile("DownloadResult.dat"); //the file to save the data into
if(file->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)){ //if you can open the file for writing
    QNetworkAccessManager *netaccessmanager = new QNetworkAccessManager; //create the manager
    QNetworkReply* reply = netaccessmanager.get(QNetworkRequest(QUrl(ui->textEdit->toPlainText()))); // send the request
    connect(reply,&QNetworkReply::readyRead,this,[reply,file]()->void{ //when there is data available
        file->write(reply->readAll()); //save it to file
    });
    connect(reply,&QNetworkReply::finished,reply,&QNetworkReply::deleteLater); //when finished clear the memory
    connect(netaccessmanager,&QNetworkAccessManager::finished,reply,&QNetworkAccessManager::deleteLater); //when finished clear the memory
    connect(reply,&QNetworkReply::finished,file,&QFile::deleteLater);//when finished close the file and clear the memory
}

@mrjj said in How can i write any data on directory:

connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(replyFinished(QNetworkReply*)));
manager->get(QNetworkRequest(QUrl("http://www.google.com")));

why connect is on 5 line ?
shouldn't be on 4 line?

@Armin
Hi
well its just important to connect it up before starting to use it.
So best spot is usual when you create it.

@mrjj
Can i use code in below?

QNetworkRequest request;
request.setUrl(QUrl("http://qt-project.org"));
request.setRawHeader("User-Agent", "MyOwnBrowser 1.0");

QNetworkReply *reply = manager->get(request);
connect(reply, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(slotReadyRead()));

[mrjj]

@Armin
Yes looks fine :)

@mrjj said in How can i write any data on directory:

1 - it will send a signal when something is read (replyFinished) or error happened.

I get this message :
QObject::connect: No such signal QNetworkAccessManager::finished(*QNetworkReply) in ..\DownloadManager\mainwindow.cpp:20
QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')

why?

[mrjj]

show the actual real code
it says QNetworkAccessManager dont have finished signal but syntax looks wrong

QNetworkAccessManager::finished(*QNetworkReply) <<< the * seems very wrong
