I use this link to read an image from SQL dataBase (the image saved in dataBase as BLOB) and pass it to qml but I get this error : QML Image: Error decoding: data:image/png;base64,77+9UE5HDQoaCg==: Unsupported image format
how can I fix this error?
cpp:
void MainWindow::saveToDatabase(QQuickItem *imageObj) {
QSharedPointer<const QQuickItemGrabResult> grabResult =
imageObj->grabToImage();
connect(grabResult.data(), &QQuickItemGrabResult::ready, [=]() {
QImage img(grabResult->image());
QByteArray imageArray;
QBuffer buffer(&imageArray);
buffer.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
img.save(&buffer, "PNG");
dbModify->dbinsertRecords(imageArray);
});
}
QString MainWindow::convertToImage(int pos) {
//SelectLastData define as QVariantList in header
QString base64 =
QString::fromUtf8(SelectLastData[pos].toByteArray().toBase64().data());
return QString("data:image/png;base64,") + base64;
}
qml:
onClicked: {
stackView.push("qrc:/imagePage.qml", {"url" : mainWindow.convertToImage(9)})
}
imagePage.qml:
Page {
width: Screen.width
height: Screen.height
visible: true
property alias url: screenshoot.source
Rectangle {
Image {
id: screenshoot
}
}
}
The base64 data in the error message: "77+9UE5HDQoaCg=="
corresponds to the bytes ef bf bd 50 4e 47 0d 0a 1a 0a
which includes 3 bytes that shouldn't be there for a PNG header (it should start with 89 50 4e 47
) and that indicates that the data is truncated, which means the data is read as a null terminated string instead of a binary blob (9th byte of a PNG file is usually a null character).
That is probably because you are passing a char*
to QVariant
instead of a QByteArray
when you initialize the QVariantList
.
Basically, when you pass a char*
as a parameter to its constructor or setValue
, QVariant
interprets it as a null terminated UTF-8 string and stores it natively as a QString
, then, when you call toByteArray
it converts it to UTF-8. The 2 conversions from and to UTF-8 can cause corruption on binary data.
If you create an intermediate QByteArray
variable and use it directly to initialize the QVariant
, it will be stored as QByteArray
and no conversion will occur when you'll call toByteArray
.
