    HI @mostefa I got an an error like this below
    error: could not convert '{12, 6, 4, 4, 2, 0}' from '<brace-enclosed initializer list>' to 'QByteArray'
    QByteArray m_data{0x0c, 0x06, 0x04, 0x04, 0x02, 0x00};

      Hi @mostefa
      Its a test code I want to initalize array in normal C Standard type

      If I initialize qbyte array in Private Slot

      Ex

      QByteArray m_data={0x0c, 0x06, 0x04, 0x04, 0x02, 0x00};
      

      I got an error See the screen shot ![alt text](0_1505900733317_ErrorScreenShot.png image url)

        What if you change this line :

        QByteArray m_data={0x0c, 0x06, 0x04, 0x04, 0x02, 0x00};
        

        To this following line :

        QByteArray m_data = QByteArray("\x0c\x06\x04\x04\x02\x00",6);
        

        QByteArray Constructor

          Hi@mostefa

          QByteArray m_data = QByteArray("\x0c\x06\x04\x04\x02\x00",6);
          

          The Error message gone and I got the output thanks. But I want to send the array to emit signal? is that possible ? I am newbie to QT soft/Development guide me to resolve this problem

            You can actually send array in signal,

            let's say you have the following signal :

            void sendByteArray(QByteArray);// on your .h file
            

            inside your testArrayInitialization you can do something like this :

            QByteArray m_data = QByteArray("\x0c\x06\x04\x04\x02\x00",6);
            emit sendByteArray(m_data);
            

            If this is not what you want , can you explain what you want to do?

                  What about:

                  QByteArray text = QByteArray::fromHex("517420697320677265617421");

                    @titan83 This is just a string containing ASCII characters.
                    It should be like @mostefa shown:

                    QByteArray m_data = QByteArray("\x0c\x06\x04\x04\x02\x00",6);

                      Hi friend, use this:

                      #include <QCoreApplication>

                        @joaopagotto This is actually the same he already did. He asked for something like this or similar:

                        QByteArray m_data{0x0c, 0x06, 0x04, 0x04, 0x02, 0x00};
                        

                        Also there is no need to use printf in C++. Instead of

                        printf("%d\n", data.size());
                        

                        you can just write

                        qDebug() << data.size();
                        

                        or C++ without Qt

                        std::cout << data.size();

                            @jsulm said in QByteArray Initialization:

                            @titan83 This is just a string containing ASCII characters.

                            Of course @titan83 has a point here. His string is made of ASCII characters, but he uses QByteArray::fromHex(). This may not be the fastest operation, but allows to read the data from UI or an ASCII file, for example.

                            Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                              You can basically use a C++11 initializer list the following way (I've added a char higher than 0x7f and initializtion by variables):

                              char        v1 = 0x06, v2 = 0x04;
                              QByteArray  ba(std::begin<char>({0x0c, v1, v2, v2, 0x02, 0x00, '\xf3'}), 7);
