I'm pretty new to Java programming. I wrote the application listed below, but I can't connect the button to my function. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
package com.teat;
import com.trolltech.qt.gui.*;
public class Application
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
QApplication.initialize(args);
QWidget mainWidget = new QWidget();
mainWidget.setWindowTitle("Simple Example");
QHBoxLayout main_layout = new QHBoxLayout();
mainWidget.setLayout(main_layout);
QPushButton new_action = new QPushButton("Working");
new_action.released.connect("Tata()");
main_layout.addWidget(new_action);
SumNum(5,3);
mainWidget.show();
QApplication.execStatic();
QApplication.shutdown();
}
private static int SumNum(int num1,int num2)
{
int sum = num1 + num2;
System.out.println(sum);
return sum;
}
private static void Tata(){
System.out.println("Yes, it's Working");
}
}
When I call the function like SumNum(5,3);
it works perfectly, but when I call it from button, It don't work. I'm using new_action.released.connect("Tata()");
I've looked into Qt, it's giving me
void com.trolltech.qt.QSignalEmitter.AbstractSignal.connect(Object receiver, String method)
but what is Object receiver?
I even give itself as object receiver, new_action.released.connect(new_action,"Tata()");
but, nope, it didn't work either.
Any idea?
Edit: here the same application in python:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Example, self).__init__()
self.setWindowTitle('Simple Example')
main_layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(main_layout)
new_action = QtGui.QPushButton("Working")
new_action.released.connect(self.Tata)
main_layout.addWidget(new_action)
self.show()
def SumNum(self, num1, num2):
print num1+num2
return num1+num2
def Tata(self):
print "Yes, it's Working"
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
in Python it didn't ask for Object receiver, and it's just run it, but in java it seems like completely different.
as what Smar said, it needed to run in a loop, so i extend from QWidget
, initial the settings in Application()
, setup the layout in initUI()
and run it in main()
.
import com.trolltech.qt.core.*;
import com.trolltech.qt.gui.*;
public class Application extends QWidget {
public Application() {
setWindowTitle("Simple Example");
setMinimumHeight(100);
setMinimumWidth(100);
setGeometry(250, 250, 350, 100);
initUI();
show();
}
private void initUI() {
QHBoxLayout main_layout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
QPushButton new_action = new QPushButton("Working");
new_action.released.connect(this,"Tata()");
main_layout.addWidget(new_action);
}
private void Tata(){
System.out.println("Yes, it's Working");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
QApplication.initialize(args);
new Application();
QApplication.execStatic();
QApplication.shutdown();
}
}
since i extended from QWidget
, i only need to set the layout like so QHBoxLayout main_layout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
Notice the this
as well as connecting the button new_action.released.connect(this,"Tata()");
Object receiver is this or in another word current QWidget
it's exactly same as Python, just python use self
and Java use this
.
that's what worked for me, hope that help however having the same problem.
