Phonon::MediaSource

It is my first time to post a question here, and I have a simple problem about Phonon::MediaSource class. Codes like this:

Code:

---

QString string = "It's ok.mp3";
Phonon::MediaSource source1(string);
Phonon::MediaSource source2(string);
if(source1 == source2)
{
  qDebug("equal");
}
else
{
  qDebug("not equal");
}

---

The output is "not equal".
why above codes will return false? And how to get true when I compare two MediaSources?

By the way, I am using the QList<Phonon::MediaSource> to store the MediaSources in my project, but I don't want to stroe the same source in it, I know that it should use the method QList::contains(MediaSource source) to decide whether the source has existed. of course, I fail. It will store the same mediasource more than once. I think it may have a relation to the 'MediaSource::operator== ( const MediaSource & other )'

Code:

---

QList<Phonon::MediaSource> sources;
 Phonon::source1("it's ok.mp3");
 Phonon::source2("it's ok.mp3");
  if(!sources.contains(source1))
 {
   sources.append(source1);
 }
 if(!sources.contains(source2))
 {
   sources.append(source2);
 }

Look forward to any suggestions or help. Thank you!

This is the code for Mediasource:

Code:

---

MediaSource::MediaSource(const MediaSource &rhs) 
    : d(rhs.d) 
{ 
} 
 
MediaSource &MediaSource::operator=(const MediaSource &rhs) 
{ 
    d = rhs.d; 
    return *this; 
} 
 
bool MediaSource::operator==(const MediaSource &rhs) const 
{ 
    return d == rhs.d; 
}

---

This means that the operator == only returns true when the pointer to the private structure is the same.
This in turn means you can only get true when you use the = operator or the MediaSource(otherMediaSource) constructor.

In your case, the private structures are different and will always return false

Suggestion:

Code:

---

if (source1.url() == source2.url()) // maybe also check the type

Thank you for tbscope's help, but I still have a problem. How can I make sure that QList just store the only one mediasoure, while I must construct my source using 'MediaSource(QString fileName)'? The following is my QT codes which may be similar to the QT's demo:music player.

Code:

---

void MainWindow::addfile()
{    QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(this, tr("Select Music Files"), QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::MusicLocation));
     if (files.isEmpty())
         return;
     int index = sources.size();
    foreach (QString string, files)
     {
         Phonon::MediaSource source(string);
         if(!sources.contains(source)) //how can I make sure sources  just store the same mediasource one time? 
        {
            sources.append(source);
        }
     }
      if (!sources.isEmpty() && sources.size()>index)
         metaInformationResolver->setCurrentSource(sources.at(index));
}
