Access QML MapType in c++

saitej

Hi

I need to access and store a QML Maptype variable in c++. How do I store this type? I am able to store individual properties of the maptype in lists but is it possible to store as it is with out using user defined types?

@saitej Hi! If I get the docs right there's no C++ API yet:

Maps and Navigation (C++)
[...]
Currently it is not possible to interact with maps via C++. Mapping applications must use the Maps and Navigation (QML) API.

Looks like you need to make a custom type to store the info.

They have done it some way on this link .
The variable m_supportedMapTypes. I think it uses QGeomaptype

Also, How do I access the activeMapType for a qml map. I have accessed the map from c++ in the following way.

QQuickItem *item = widget->rootObject()->findChild<QQuickItem*>("map_main");

and I am trying to set the property of the map like this

item->setProperty("activeMapType",maptype.name) ;

Is it the right way because I am not able to access the current active maptype also via

 x= item->property("activeMapType.name").toString();
