Using QTimer in a QThread

[MarekR22]

Problem is that you are doing that wrong!

class TestClass : QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    TestClass(QObject *parent=0);
 
public slots:
    void tick();
};
 
TestClass::TestClass(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
     QTimer *t = new QTimer(this);
     connect(t, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(tick()));
}
 
void TestClass::tick()
{
	qDebug() << currentThreadId() << "tick()";
}
 
// and somewhere
QThread *thread = new QThread(something);
TestClass *object = new TestClass(); // can't pass parent!!!!!!
object->moveToThread(thread);
thread->start();
 
....
delete object;
thread->WaitFor();
// delete thread;

class TestClass : QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    TestClass(QObject *parent=0);
    
public slots:
    void tick();
};

TestClass::TestClass(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
     QTimer *t = new QTimer(this);
     connect(t, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(tick()));
}

void TestClass::tick()
{
	qDebug() << currentThreadId() << "tick()";
}

// and somewhere
QThread *thread = new QThread(something);
TestClass *object = new TestClass(); // can't pass parent!!!!!!
object->moveToThread(thread);
thread->start();

....
delete object;
thread->WaitFor();
// delete thread;
