Unsolved External process from Qml
-
@VRonin the scenario is..when i call the c++ function from qml it should start the process...through which i get the output and will pass the output through a signal back to qml. till the process is not completed it should not return back to main app(i.e Qml app).
Now i am getting the output to my console but i am not able to send it as shown in the above code. -
@Naveen_D Why should it not return? What you are trying to do is not how Qt apps should work. You should use signals/slots: you start the process, connect signals/slots and as soon as there is input from the process you handle it in the slot.

@jsulm Sorry sir i didn't get...is the above code wrong which i have posted ? or what changes i need to do ?
One more doubt..how to compare a string in Qml...like in Qt we do (str=="some string")
-
@Naveen_D ProcessWidget::vStartProcess is currently blocking, why? Why not just start the process, connect signals/slots and return from ProcessWidget::vStartProcess ?
void ProcessWidget::vStartProcess() { qDebug()<<"entered the function"<<endl; const QString program = QStringLiteral("/home/ubuntu/Documents/Sample_Examples_Qt_Qml/VoiceRecognition/VoiceRecognition"); myProcess = new QProcess; connect(myProcess,SIGNAL(readyReadStandardError()),this,SLOT(vEndProcess())); connect(myProcess,SIGNAL(readyReadStandardOutput()),this,SLOT(processStandardOutput())); connect(myProcess,SIGNAL(finished(int)),myProcess,SLOT(deleteLater())); connect(this,&ProcessWidget::destroyed,myProcess,&QProcess::kill); myProcess->start(program); }
processStandardOutput() will be called as soon as the process is writing something to standard output.

@jsulm Yes i got that...
i want to know how to compare string s in Qml...
the string which i am passing through the signal...i want to compare that in qml and next give functionality for that...i used the following code but didn't get...
onPlaymusicsignal: { console.log("Recorded Voice :" + recordedString) var receivedString = recordedString console.log(receivedString) if(receivedString == "GOTO MUSIC") { console.log("play music") } else { console.log("please try again") } }
even though the received string is GOTO MUSIC its printing in the console as please try again.

@Naveen_D I'm not JavaScript expert (what QML basically is), but as far as I know you can use === instead of ==
If there maybe a new line at the end of receivedString ? -
-
-
@jsulm ya i checked...after checking that code only i used var in the code as shown above...but i didn't get that clearly so posted this in forum.
-
if(receivedString.localeCompare("GOTO MUSIC") == 0) { console.log("play music") } else { console.log("please try again") }
-
@jsulm
i tried with both the codes...its going to else part.onPlaymusicsignal: { console.log("Recorded Voice :" + recordedString) var receivedString = recordedString console.log(receivedString) if(receivedString.localeCompare("GOTO MUSIC") == 0) { console.log("play music") musicScreen.visible= true } else { console.log("please try again") }
onPlaymusicsignal: { console.log("Recorded Voice :" + recordedString) var receivedString = recordedString var GotoMusicString = new String("GOTO MUSIC") console.log(receivedString) if(receivedString.localeCompare(GotoMusicString) == 0) { console.log("play music") musicScreen.visible= true } else { console.log("please try again") } }
-
@Naveen_D Maybe receivedString contains a new line character at the end?
-
@jsulm this is the output i am getting from the started process and the same output i am sending through the signal to qml
output>>>> "\n<<< please speak >>> \n\n \n\n"
output>>>> "Received Command: "GOTO MUSIC"\n"
Output of regular exp is: ""GOTO MUSIC""
signal data is >> ""GOTO MUSIC""qml: Recorded Voice :"GOTO MUSIC"
qml: "GOTO MUSIC"
qml: please try again -
@Naveen_D It look like your string is not "GOTO MUSIC" but ""GOTO MUSIC""
You have " at the beginning and end of the string as part of the string. -
@Naveen_D To remove those " do:
var receivedString = recordedString.slice(1, -1)
-
@jsulm yes that " was the part of that string...i got the output thanks...
one more doubt...is there any other method...because i have lot of commands like GOTO MUSIC for which i need to give functionality. -
@Naveen_D The easiest way would be to fix your process so it does not put the recognized strings inside "".
If this is not possible then you need to change the way you're parsing the output of that process, so your regular exceptions do not match "
