Battery status Problem

? This user is from outside of this forum

I am trying to make a gui that has a few buttons that will give information for a handheld device. In this case a beagle board. I started the project using Qt widget Project/QT gui application.

One of the buttons has to show a "Battery Status Bar." I am working on that and am getting some errors. I could use some advice on how to resolve these. I will post the error messages followed by my code.

I do not know enough about C++ to figure this one out. Appreciate the help.

If you put the mainwindow.h code in instead the project files one, it woul be helpful :-)

oops..sorry, updated it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi,

I had to comment out some stuff, especially the mobility things and then i could compile it. so perhaps it's something inside qmobilityglobal.h ?

I just tried it on windows with Qt 4.7.3

Can you share what you commented out? I commented out the #include qmobilityglobal.h lines and get these errors:

Hi,

I commented out:

mainwindow.h:

nothing

mainwindow.cpp:

lines: 3, 13, 18-21, 27-30

main.cpp:

line 3

pro file:

removed the qmobilityglobal.h file

Did you mean 18-23?

Hi,

no, just the content of the method:

@
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
// #include "qmobilityglobal.h"
#include <QtGui>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
//deviceInfo(NULL)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
setupGeneral();
// ui->batteryLevelBar->hide();
}

// Press Button to see Battery Status Bar
void MainWindow::ButtonClicked() {
// if (ui->batteryLevelBar->isVisible())
// ui->batteryLevelBar->setVisible(false);
// else
// ui->batteryLevelBar->setVisible(true);
}

// Get Battery Info
void MainWindow::setupGeneral()
{
// deviceInfo = new QSysInfo(this);
// ui->batteryLevelBar->setValue(deviceInfo->batteryLevel());
// connect(deviceInfo, SIGNAL(batteryLevelChanged(int)),
// ui->batteryLevelBar, SLOT(setValue(int)));
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

yes, but doesnt that basically get rid of what I want to do with the progress bar and battery status? I think I should be using QSystemDeviceInfo instead of QSysInfo, but I cant seem to find that file. When I add a QML file with the following:

@import QtMobility.systeminfo 1.2@

But then I get the folowing error message:

@In file included from ..\gui\main.cpp:2:
..\gui/mainwindow.h:32: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'QSystemDeviceInfo' with no type

Hi,

your compile error showed up in the mainwindow.h file, so I removed all things that were not related to that :-)
