Sound

[mikealfa]

I want a piece of music to be played as my application begins and till its closed.....how can i do that ??

[Vicky]

i know how to do it in qml.....not in qt c++...

here goes...

use a Timer....where onTrigger of that state(in Qml) the music starts playing...and when closing the app...u dont have to stop the music there because when u kill the application...everything shuts down.

1.) use an import called
import QtMultimediaKit 1.1

2.) then.....
add the sound file to your project folder ie. in the qml folder(urproject/qml/sounds/)....
then use that in your application...
by using this code....

@Audio{
id:menusound
source:"sounds/electropoly.mp3"
}@

3.) then use a timer to make that file work in your app...
@Timer{
id:soundtimer
interval:1;
repeat:true;
running:false;
onTriggered: menusound.play();
}@

4.) then use another timer or....an on clicked function(if u require) to call the file to play....
@Timer {
id:start;
interval: 1000;
running: false;
onTriggered: {
rect.state = "menu"; /* play the file after it comes to this state!! */
soundtimer.running = true;
}
}@

dont forget to give ids to the timers u create or any object/item that you create....because it will be easier for you to use them else where in your code.

I disagree that using a Timer is a good solution to replaying a sound file. You may have a delay of up to a full second.

Just use:
@ Audio { source: "mymusic.mp3"; playing: true; onStopped: play(); }@

i tried both guyz...
but it says "QtMultimediakit" not installed...
how to fix this now

[dajansen]

Firstly, ensure you have specified
@import QtMultimediaKit 1.1@

That is, capital Q, capital M, capital K.

Second, for some platforms, in your .pro I believe you require:
@CONFIG+=mobility
MOBILITY+=multimedia@

[mikealfa]

yep...i treid that too...bt still says "QtMultimediaKit" not installed :(

You should install QtMobility manually. I tried a couple of times for QtMobility. It does not automatically get installed by SDK. Compile QtMobility and install into the Qt base directory.
This will solve your problem.
