Ok. I wrote a simple source code as follow:
@
struct Login {
QString userName;
QString password;
};
#include <QSettings>

void readSettings()
{

 QList<Login> logins;

 QSettings settings;
 int size = settings.beginReadArray("logins");
 for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     Login login;
     login.userName = settings.value("userName").toString();
     login.password = settings.value("password").toString();
     logins.append(login);
 }
 settings.endArray();

}
@

This code work for me.

Also make sure you have included QList and QString headers.

cincirin

Her/His list variable was QList<QString> type and not QList<Login> type.

gogoi

gogoi

cincirin

"see append function":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qlist.html#append
In your code ... :
@
QList<Login> loginsList;
Login login = {"userName", "password"};
loginsList.append(login);
@

gogoi

ok thanks cincirin,I will read it and get back to u.

regards
gogoi

gogoi

hey cincirin,
suppose i want to take username and password from userinput..then how shall i do it..
I mean..

QList<Login> loginsList;
Login login = {ui->lineEdit->text(), ui->lineEdit_2->text()};
loginsList.append(login);

regards
gogoi

cincirin

Yes, it's ok.
Or, if you want to add more Logins in your list, create only one instance of Login
@
Login login;

login.userName = ui->lineEdit->text();
login.password = ui->lineEdit_2->text();
loginsList.append(login);

login.userName = ui->lineEdit->text();
login.password = ui->lineEdit_2->text();
loginsList.append(login);
@

gogoi

@void MainWindow::readSettings()
{

QList<Login> logins;

   
 QSettings settings;
 int size = settings.beginReadArray("logins");
 for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     Login login;
     login.userName = settings.value(("userName").toString(),ui->lineEdit->setText());
     login.password = settings.value(("password").toString(),ui->lineEdit_2->settext());
     
     logins.append(login);
 }
 settings.endArray();

}@

can i do it this way cincirin..

regards
gogoi

cincirin

No, you can't.
You need to separate @QSettings::value@ from @QlineEdit::setText@
@
void MainWindow::readSettings()
{
QList<Login> logins;
QSettings settings;
int size = settings.beginReadArray("logins");
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
settings.setArrayIndex(i);
Login login;
login.userName = settings.value(("userName").toString();
ui->lineEdit->setText(login.userName));
login.password = settings.value(("password").toString();
ui->lineEdit_2->settext(login.password));

     logins.append(login);
 }
 settings.endArray();

}

gogoi

thanks cincirin...then how shall i write in writesettings function..because when i debug..the login size is showing zero only

gogoi

cincirin

In a similar manner as read settings.
But I think your problem is that you want to use the same list both in read & write settings. In this case, your problem C++ and not Qt. So, if I'm right, you need to declare QList<Login> member of your class, and not separate instances in read&write functions.

gogoi

ya i have not created two instance of QList<login>..
please check out this

@void MainWindow::saveSettings()
{

 QSettings settings;
 settings.beginWriteArray("logins");
 for (int i = 0; i < logins.size(); ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     settings.setValue("userName", list.at(i).userName);
     Login login;  
    ui->lineEdit->settext(login.userName);

     settings.setValue("password", list.at(i).password);
      ui->lineEdit_2->settext(login.password);
 }
 settings.endArray();

}

In your 10 and 13 lines, both line edits will have blank text. Use list.at(i) instead of local login variable.
If your list is member of MainWindow class, or if it's global in MainWindow.cpp, your code should be ok, if you remove line 9.

gogoi

hey thanks for the info..i did that,,but no effect ,my .ini file shows only this output..

[logins]
size=0
