Save a QStringList to arrey in QSettings

[halvors]

How do i save a QStringList to a arrey in Settings?

QString myvalue; //This have value from before.
 
settings settings(Me, App);
settings.beginGroup("ServerManager");
     settings.beginWriteArray("ServerItems");
          settings.setValue("ServerItem", myvalue);
     settings.endArray();
settings.engGroup();

QString myvalue; //This have value from before.

settings settings(Me, App);
settings.beginGroup("ServerManager");
     settings.beginWriteArray("ServerItems");
          settings.setValue("ServerItem", myvalue);
     settings.endArray();
settings.engGroup();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Can anyone help me?

Yes, but what do you want to know what the docs are not providing? Isn't there a good example: QSettings::beginWriteArray()?

EDIT: And a QStringList is (almost) nothing else than QList<QString>

As this:

QStringList myvalue;
 
QSettings settings;
 settings.beginWriteArray("ServerItems");
 for (int i = 0; i < myvalue.size(); ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     settings.setValue("ServerItem", list.at(i).myvalue);
 }
 settings.endArray();

QStringList myvalue;

QSettings settings;
 settings.beginWriteArray("ServerItems");
 for (int i = 0; i < myvalue.size(); ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     settings.setValue("ServerItem", list.at(i).myvalue);
 }
 settings.endArray();

Please correct if i am wrong...

is myvalue == list? How do you normally access a string from your string list. How would you normally loop through your string list?

[halvors]

Its a QStringList with 4 values (strings). Is the code correct?

[Lykurg]

Damn, NO, it's not correct. Try it and you see it will not work. And all necessary hints I have already given.

(And for future you should may be take our Newbie section!)

[halvors]

Well, i am ask. Can you please help me get it work?

[Lykurg]

Please, next time use the newbie section. And I wont provide the code.

When you have this string list:

QStringList list;
list << "read" << "the" << "documentation";

QStringList list;
list << "read" << "the" << "documentation";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

How would you iterate through the items and show them using qDebug()? All infos you can find here: QStringList.

If you now that, just combine it with the array writing.

As this:

QStringList myvalue;
 
QSettings settings;
 settings.beginWriteArray("ServerItems");
 for (int i = 0; i < myvalue.size(); ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     settings.setValue("ServerItem", list.at(i).myvalue);
 }
 settings.endArray();

QStringList myvalue;

QSettings settings;
 settings.beginWriteArray("ServerItems");
 for (int i = 0; i < myvalue.size(); ++i) {
     settings.setArrayIndex(i);
     settings.setValue("ServerItem", list.at(i).myvalue);
 }
 settings.endArray();

Where is `list` defined? Even in the documentation, it is the same but I don't understand why list is not defined. It sure come up as undeclared identifier and doesn't build.

In my case I only want to save QStringArray to QSettings, how to do that?
