how to read the text of pushbutton in XML Qt

[sankarapandiyan]

i have done something but it doesnt work ,This is my code

            void MainWindow::on_okbutn_clicked()
{
   
            QDomDocument document;
        QDomElement root = document.createElement("pushbuttn_text");
            QString text1 = ui->pushbutton1->text();
        QDomElement elemTab1 = document.createElement("ss");

       elemTab1.setAttribute(QString::data(text1);

//elemTab.appendChild( document.createTextNode( text))
                 
         root.appendChild(elemTab1);

          QString filename1=QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::DataLocation)+"/home/newuser/Desktop/filenamemw.xml";

      QFile file("/home/newuser/Desktop/filenamemw.xml");
      if(!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
        qDebug() << "Open the file for writing failed";
      } else {
        QTextStream stream(&file);
        stream << document.toString();
        file.close();
        qDebug() << "Writing is done";
      }

in this code writing is done properly ,and reading is the problrm i think ,
and this is my error

//error: no matching function for call to 'QString::data(QString&)'~~

i think the problem is in setting attribute i dnt know how to resolve if anybody knows tel me pls.

Thanks in advanzZ.....

@sankarapandiyan said in how to read the text of pushbutton in XML Qt:

elemTab1.setAttribute(QString::data(text1);

Please read the documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#data
First: data() is not static, second data() takes no parameters.
So, it should be

elemTab1.setAttribute(text1.data());

But actually there is no need to convert QString to char*, so

elemTab1.setAttribute(text1);

[sankarapandiyan]

@aha_1980 yes same error i got it repeatdly .@jsulm gave the document to read ,now i am doing that.

    QDomDocument document;

QDomElement root = document.createElement("pushbuttn_text");

   QString text1 = ui->pushbutton1->text();
                         
 QDomElement elemTab1 = document.createElement("ss");

    elemTab1.setAttribute(text1);

//elemTab.appendChild( document.createTextNode( text))

          root.appendChild(elemTab1);

and this is my code

@sankarapandiyan

setAttribute should take 2 argument?

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz nop only one it want to take

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz nop only one it want to take

[Ratzz]

@sankarapandiyan
You want to take one attribute ??
Did you see document ? http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qdomelement.html#setAttribute
What is the error now?

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan said in how to read the text of pushbutton in XML Qt:

nop only one it want to take

This is wrong.
setAttribute takes two arguments as you can see in documentation.
A XML attribute has a name and a value, that's why setAttribute has two parameters.

[sankarapandiyan]

@jsulm oh sry for my wrong answer
is it possible to do without attribute !coz i want to read one paramtr only

[Ratzz]

@sankarapandiyan

yes but using QDomText
But it creates the text node.

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz by directly reading ??

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan I don't understand you: setAttribute sets an attribute, it does not read anything. So, what do you want to do?
If your attribute does not have a value you can pass empty string as value:

elemTab1.setAttribute(text1, "");

@sankarapandiyan

May be this way

    QString text1 = ui->pushbutton1->text();
    QDomText t = doc.createTextNode(text1);
    tag.appendChild(t);
