Retrieve weather forecast

AcerExtensa

I don't see possible error here. It is somewhere else... Set some breakpoints and debug your app step-by-step

Well I managed to clean up the Build Environment and it works now, turn out I was using the wrong environment variables.

deepnguyen

now when I tried to debug i get 2 errors
Object::connect: No such slot MainWindow::slotFinished(QNetworkReply*) in ..\Clock\mainwindow.cpp:755
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such slot MainWindow::slotError( QNetworkReply::NetworkError) in ..\Clock\mainwindow.cpp:757
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')

Ok I know what to do now, thanks a lot AcerExtensa

deepnguyen

My code after I clean up a bit is

@void MainWindow::on_pushButton_3_clicked()
{

QNetworkAccessManager * manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(slotFinished(QNetworkReply*)));
QUrl url("http://rss.weatherzone.com.au/?u=12994-1285&lt=aploc&lc=9388&obs=1&fc=1&warn=1");

manager->get(QNetworkRequest(url));

}

void MainWindow::slotFinished(QNetworkReply* reply)
{
if(reply->error() != QNetworkReply::NoError)
{
qCritical() << reply->errorString();
return;
}
QXmlStreamReader reader( reply );
reader.readNext();
while (!reader.atEnd()) {
if (reader.isStartElement()) {
if (reader.name() == "title") {
reader.readNext();
if (reader.text() == "Brisbane weather forecast") {
//blah blah blah
qDebug()<< reader.text();
}
}
}
}

}@

When I debug, whenever I click the button the program freeze up. Where is the problem--?

deepnguyen

lol silly me, I didn't put

@reader.readNext();@

in the while loop, and I keep checking my slot connections

AcerExtensa

-Hm, it can be only because of while loop. but it should not take more then some seconds...-

I'm almost there but I need a way to split this string and my head is going dumb now. How can i get only the Days and the weather status?

AcerExtensa

the problem is, your choosen service returns RSS feed with forecast as simple html text in [CDATA]... So, you need to parse it yourself... For example with "QRegExp":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qregexp.html parse days first(there is only 7 days), after that parse temperature, it may always have format like:
+/- <min 1 digit - max 2digits>°<ignore symbols> - <ignore symbols> +/- <min 1 digit - max 2 digit>°
