[Solved]Save image with dynamic name
-
I'm a beginning "developer" and i'm newbie to qt and c++.
So, my problem: I've a custom c++ class that save an image to a file(in symbian device), it works perfectly. Now i want to set a dynamic filename for it,with current date and time. I've tried different solutions but i failed. Here's code. Can any one help me to get an easy solution?@SaveImage::SaveImage(QObject*parent):
QObject(parent)
{
}
void SaveImage::save(QDeclarativeItem *item)
{
QDateTime dateTime = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
QString dateTimeString = dateTime.toString();
QPixmap pix(item->width(), item->height());
QPainter painter(&pix);
QStyleOptionGraphicsItem option;
item->paint(&painter, &option, NULL);
//i've tried this but doesn't work: pix.save("E:/Images/"image"+dateTimeString+".jpg");

I'm not familiar with symbian. Does it HAVE the concept of named drives ("E:" in your code)?
What I suggest, is: verify that the chosen path exists. Then, make sure you have write permission in that folder.

QDateTime documentation says that default output of ::toString() is "Wed May 20 03:40:13 1998". Does symbian support spaces and colons in folder names? I would specify my own date format, if I were you (see QDateTime docs). Also, verify the path at runtime with qDebug() or by debugging.

Thanks, you were right symbian doesn't support colons in file names. So here the working code.
@SaveImage::SaveImage(QObject*parent):
QObject(parent)
{
}
void SaveImage::save(QDeclarativeItem *item)
{
QDateTime dateTime = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
QString dateTimeString = dateTime.toString("hh_mm_ss yyyy_MMM_dd");
QPixmap pix(item->width(), item->height());
QPainter painter(&pix);
QStyleOptionGraphicsItem option;
item->paint(&painter, &option, NULL);
pix.save("E:/Images/"+dateTimeString+".jpg");
qDebug() << "Captured on Symbian,here: E:/Images/";
