Qt: Fails to display drives using QSystemStorageInfo

Stoned Jesus

I am working on displaying all Local and removable drives of my system using QSystemStorageInfo in a QTreeView. I have written a code where all drives like C:, D: etc come under Local Drive section and SD_Card appears under Removable Drive section. Here is the code:
@#include <QtSystemInfo/QSystemStorageInfo>

m_model = new QStandardItemModel(0,0);

QList<QStandardItem *> LocalItem;
LocalItem.insert(0,new QStandardItem("Local Drives"));
LocalItem.at(0)->setEditable(false);
m_model->insertRow(0,LocalItem);

QList<QStandardItem *> RemovableItem;
RemovableItem.insert(0,new QStandardItem("Removable Drives"));
RemovableItem.at(0)->setEditable(false);
m_model->insertRow(1,RemovableItem);

QStringList list = m_sysStorageInfo->logicalDrives(),listremovable,listlocal;
for(int i=0; i<list.count(); i++)
{
m_dtype = m_sysStorageInfo->typeForDrive(list[i]);
if ( m_dtype == QSystemStorageInfo::RemovableDrive)
{
listremovable<<list[i];
qDebug()<<listremovable;
}
else
{
listlocal<<list[i];
qDebug()<<listlocal;
}
}

for (int i = 0; i < listlocal.count(); i++)
{
QString myString = listlocal.at(i);

QStandardItem* Localchild = new QStandardItem(myString);
QStandardItem* LocalparentItem = m_model->item(0,0);
Localchild->setEditable(false);
LocalparentItem->appendRow(Localchild);

}

for (int i = 0; i < listremovable.count(); i++)
{
QString myString = listremovable.at(i);

QStandardItem* Removablechild = new QStandardItem(myString);
Removablechild->setEditable(false);
QStandardItem* RemovableparentItem = m_model->item(0,0);
RemovableparentItem->appendRow(Removablechild);

}

ui->PrimTreeView->setModel(m_model);@

In header File:
@QSystemStorageInfo *m_sysStorageInfo;
QSystemStorageInfo::DriveType m_dtype;@

When I run the application, it gives me C:, D: in my Local Section and SD_Card under Removable section. But when I click the C: drive or D: drive, it doesn't display the folders present inside it. Where am i wrong???

This is only part of code.
Your problem is most likely in UI.
Check what are you doing when you click on drive.

When I click the drive, it doesn't display anything since there is no click event. Lets say i click C:, it should display folders present in the selected drive. Ideally what can be the best way to go ahead with???

Well, it seems that you are missing subelements (not loading) - you just load first level of directory structure (drives).
Take a look this video: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0PZDrDwdHM":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0PZDrDwdHM
I think that this guy uses much simpler approach.

Thanks DRAX. Sadly I dont have access to YouTube at Office. Any example or sample which can guide me?

Well, from video what I saw he uses QDirModel, and then it sets to tree view.
Like this:
@
...
QDirModel *model = new QDirModel(this);
ui->PrimTreeView->setModel(model);
...
@
You might want to make model as private variable in header instead like this.

Any time :)

Stoned Jesus

Alright I just had a look at the video through some proxy site (hahaha). I noticed he used QModelIndex and hardcoded F: drive, he also set the expand and other properties..... When he built the app, the F: drive was expanded on startup itself.

What I ideally want to achieve is to click the drive and then expand rather than expanding by default on startup. I hope u got my point :)

Well, I looked at video again, and at 3:40 it doesn't open at startup.
When it clicks on drive then it opens.

Sorry, but it seems that I don't understand what you mean.

Stoned Jesus

Hi DRAX. Well thats because he is setting the model directly without any root node. Let me make it clear :)

Like you said in the above comment "Well, it seems that you are missing subelements (not loading)". By this you exactly got what I was trying to say. My code currently displays C:, D: etc but on clikcing each, it should display folders inside. Thats something which aint happening.

Ok then, you need to implement it.
Give to each drive letter corresponding subelements.

This should give you idea how to do it: "http://www.java2s.com/Code/Cpp/Qt/QTreeViewdemoandQStandardItem.htm":http://www.java2s.com/Code/Cpp/Qt/QTreeViewdemoandQStandardItem.htm

Hey I went through it yesterday itself. It gives me the same thing which my code displays. Damn I am really frustrated with this...... I have been goggling like anything from yesterday and didnt even find ONE post were people have come across this scenario :/
