[SOLVED] Read/write user settings

[strekazoid]

Getting some troubles. Can you spot what is wrong here? I'm getting error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct QDeclarativeContext' on line 12:

main.cpp
@#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "qmlapplicationviewer.h"
#include "settings.h"

Q_DECL_EXPORT int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QScopedPointer<QApplication> app(createApplication(argc, argv));
QScopedPointer<QmlApplicationViewer> viewer(QmlApplicationViewer::create());

// Attaching QSettings wrapper and exposing it to our QML UI
Settings* settings = new Settings(app.data());
viewer->rootContext()->setContextProperty("Settings", settings);

viewer->setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/myApp/main.qml"));
viewer->showExpanded();

return app->exec();

}@

The only difference here with your code is that currently wizard generated code contains QmlApplicationViewer instance instead of QDeclarativeView (like in your code).

You haven't included <QtGui/QDeclarativeContext>.

Thanks a lot, works now!

Hey, is there some way to save image to settings? I have path to the image, how do I save it now to Settings?

[Rahul Das]

Try this :
@settings.setValue("General/Pixmap", pixmap ); // pxmap is QPixmap@

I haven't tried it yet, let me knw whats happening :)

[strekazoid]

Thanks. How do I construct QPixmap in QML?

[strekazoid]

I'm still sort of confused. Is it possible to construct QPixmap in QML layer, or do I have to do something on C++ side as well?

[Rahul Das]

A request from QML for image/pixmap is handled by the 'Image Provider ' class, in simple words.

Yes you have to implement the Image provider in C++.

Ok, thanks, I'll try to play with this idea.
