Add the following to your .pro file:

@
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY += systeminfo
@

and re-run qmake.

and what about QtQuick project?

[A Former User]

I gave a comment on DevNet Documentation review that each API documentation should also carry any .pro file changes that are required to include that header file and use it inside the code. That should remove lot of confusions.

For Qt Quick, above mentioned .pro file changes are good enough.

And you need to have @import QtMobility.systeminfo 1.1@ in your .qml file

And DeviceInfo is the qml element name.

[A Former User]

They are listed. See this "quickstart guide":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/quickstart.html for mobility.

@spode What do you mean? You can still use C++ in a QtQuick project. If you wan tto display it you just need to bind to the respective properties and possibly expose the info you need as properties if they are not already available.

@Vijay Ah that's even better then. I have not looked into using mobility directly in QML yet.

@
import Qt 4.7
import QtMobility.systeminfo 1.1

Rectangle{
....

DeviceInfo {
    id: deviceinfo;
    //        onBatteryStatusChanged : doBatteryStatusChange(status);
    onPowerStateChanged : getPowerState(/*powerState*/);
    onBatteryLevelChanged: doBatteryLevelChange(level)
    property int battlevel: batteryLevel;

    monitorBatteryLevelChanges: true
    monitorBatteryStatusChanges: true
    monitorPowerStateChanges: true
    monitorCurrentProfileChanges: true
    monitorBluetoothStateChanges: true
}
...

}

0k, but what about .cpp? why can not i include QSystemDeviceInfo.h?

[A Former User]

Have you tried:

@
#include <QSystemDeviceInfo>
@

ie without the ".h" suffix. Can you post the exact command line passed to the compiler and error msg please? That way we can see if it has the correct -I arguments or not.

[A Former User]

on .cpp:
error: QSystemDeviceInfo: No such file or directory
althought i am using windows 7 and Qt 4.7.3

[A Former User]

And the command line passed to the compiler please? Which target are you trying to build for?

all right. perhaps it was because i wrote "mobility" instead of "MOBILITY" in CONFIG and did not write "symbian:TARGET.CAPABILITY = ReadDeviceData" in .pro file.
thank everybody!

[A Former User]

Yes the MOBILITY variable in the .pro file needs to be in uppercase. The missing symbian capabilities flag would have caused errors later on in the compilation (or maybe at runtime).

Glad to see you hav eit working now. Good luck with the rest of your project.

[A Former User]

thank you! :)
