How to use qrc in c++ and QML application?
c++, deploying, qml, qt
Solution
Have you try this:
view.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml"));
When you do this:
QUrl(":/qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml");
the path is "file:///qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml"
Problem
I have written a Qt Quick Desktop application in c++ qnd Qt Creator(QML) on Windows7. Now I have to deploy it, and I need to hide the qml files and the images(means: to put them in resources and etc.) I've read that there is a great way to do that with .qrc files. I read the documentation about those files, and created one for my application, which looks like this: ``` <RCC> <qresource prefix="/"> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/PressAndHoldButton.qml</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/TextButton.qml</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/advancedsettings.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/cnruninstall.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/dialog_cancel.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/folder_explore.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/gnome_session_switch.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/mail2_send.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/Picture1.png</file> <file>qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/content/pics/Picture2.png</file> </qresource> ``` In the main.cpp, I'm loading the Main.qml file like: ``` int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QDeclarativeView view; view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml")); view.show(); return app.exec(); } ``` I tried to read the myMain.qml file from the Resources.qrc like: ``` view.setSource(QUrl(":/qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml"));//I added the ":/" ``` but I've got this error: ``` file:///qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml: File not found ``` and when I tried this: ``` view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile(":/qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml")); ``` I'm getting this: ``` file:///C:/Users/ayalafre/Desktop/ghaQML/GenericHostApplicationQML-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Release/:/qml/GenericHostApplicationQML/myMain.qml: File not found ``` It seems like my Qt doesn't know what to do with:":/". I have to use the .qrc file in: - Loading the myMain.qml file - Using import to qml files in myMain.qml - Using images in my qml files Could you explain to me what's wrong?? and what I have to do in order to use the .qrc in both c++ and qml? Thanks a lot:)
