QSound and embedded resources

[yodreuc]

Is there already a Qt version where QSound supports resources?

[kuroi_neko]

Nope.

However, you could use this trick:
1) define a class (ResourceFile) that will copy a resource to disk (in the hard-coded "resources" directory at executable file level in this example)

#ifndef RESOURCEFILE_H
#define RESOURCEFILE_H
#include <QFile>
#include <QString>
 
class ResourceFile : public QFile
{
public:
    ResourceFile (const QString &respath, QObject * parent = 0);
};
 
#endif // RESOURCEFILE_H

#ifndef RESOURCEFILE_H
#define RESOURCEFILE_H
#include <QFile>
#include <QString>

class ResourceFile : public QFile
{
public:
    ResourceFile (const QString &respath, QObject * parent = 0);
};

#endif // RESOURCEFILE_H

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

#include "resourcefile.h"
#include <QFileInfo>
#include <QDir>
 
#define FILES_DIR "resources"
 
ResourceFile::ResourceFile (const QString & respath, QObject *parent)
    : QFile (parent)
{
    QFileInfo resource (respath);
    QDir files = QDir::current();
 
    if (!files.cd(FILES_DIR))
    {
        files.mkdir(FILES_DIR);
        files.cd   (FILES_DIR);
    }
 
    setFileName (files.filePath(resource.fileName()));
    if (!exists())
    {
        QFile resfile(respath);
        if(resfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
        {
            if (open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))
            {
                write(resfile.readAll());
                close();
            }
            resfile.close();
        }
    }
}

#include "resourcefile.h"
#include <QFileInfo>
#include <QDir>

#define FILES_DIR "resources"

ResourceFile::ResourceFile (const QString & respath, QObject *parent)
    : QFile (parent)
{
    QFileInfo resource (respath);
    QDir files = QDir::current();

    if (!files.cd(FILES_DIR))
    {
        files.mkdir(FILES_DIR);
        files.cd   (FILES_DIR);
    }

    setFileName (files.filePath(resource.fileName()));
    if (!exists())
    {
        QFile resfile(respath);
        if(resfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
        {
            if (open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))
            {
                write(resfile.readAll());
                close();
            }
            resfile.close();
        }
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

2) define a class (ResourceSound) that will plug QSound to the disk copy

#ifndef RESOURCESOUND_H
#define RESOURCESOUND_H
#include <QSound>
#include "resourcefile.h"
class ResourceSound : private ResourceFile, public QSound
{
public:
    ResourceSound (const QString & respath, QObject * parent = 0)
    : ResourceFile (respath, parent)
    , QSound (fileName(), parent) {}
};
 
#endif // RESOURCESOUND_H

#ifndef RESOURCESOUND_H
#define RESOURCESOUND_H
#include <QSound>
#include "resourcefile.h"
class ResourceSound : private ResourceFile, public QSound
{
public:
    ResourceSound (const QString & respath, QObject * parent = 0)
    : ResourceFile (respath, parent)
    , QSound (fileName(), parent) {}
};

#endif // RESOURCESOUND_H

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You can then use ResourceSound instead of QSound and get the same result (or lack of, considering the shortcomings of QSound ).

is that official, is QSound QSoundEffect not able to work with embedded resources?
