Showing an SVG on a GraphicsView

Kyosaur

Hello everyone. Im really struggling on displaying an SVG file onto a QgraphicsView. I downloaded the examples, and they just didn't work. I feel a little out of my depth here. This is my code i've been experimenting with (code tag doesnt seem to work, so i'll paste it as is here). What am i doing wrong?

void ItemViewDialog::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"), QString(),tr("Cut file (*.SVG)"));

if(!fileName.isNull() && !fileName.isEmpty())
{

    QSvgRenderer *renderer = new QSvgRenderer(fileName);
    QGraphicsSvgItem *item = new QGraphicsSvgItem();

    if(!renderer->isValid())
    {
        qDebug("INVALID SVG");
    }

    item->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    item->setElementId(QStringLiteral("example"));

    QGraphicsScene* scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);


    ui->graphicsView_2->setScene(scene);

    scene->addItem(item);


}

}

Do your svg has a element whose id is "example" and you only want to show that element? If not, do not add that setElementId line.
If you are not using a same svg file in multiple items, you don't need to use setSharedRenderer, just

QGraphicsSvgItem *item = new QGraphicsSvgItem(fileName);

@Bonnie OMG! That setElementId was the issue!!!! You are amazing. I was following someone's example on that line, and didn't fully understand what it did to be honest. Thank you for your help :D!
