What have you tried so far?

[jakr13]

Are those images stored inside some folder? or do you have only text file that contains the set of images? if you have images stored inside some folder, you can read all the ".jpeg" files inside that specific folder one by one for every 10 seconds and display it in QLabel.

The "text file" is a directory listing.

This looks like the typical forum spammer, who opens several threads for exaclty the same topic, with no or slight modificatons to the content in order to bind as much volunteer effort as possible.

Since I got spammed via PM as well, I am considering this a fact.

Cheers,

Is this some kind of school project?

[jakr13]

You can check the program attached, which I did few years back and I think you will get some ideas from it. I used C++ style to read the directory and I have a pushbutton in GUI to start displaying images in label. You can have QTimer in constructor instead of pushbutton.

Note: dirent.h will works on linux but i doubt on windows.

cheers!!!

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

thank you so much sir

hello Mr. wysota.
Am a fresher sir jus nw i joined Embedded with Qt .nw training was going on..sir

[jakr13]

Hi iswarya,

check the updated piece of code attached to help you how the QTimer can be used in a constructor!!!

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

thank you sir
bt in my concept i have two file one file was jpeg images another file was sorted images with name sir i have to combine this both

Added after 4 minutes:

my task concept was:
i have a folder it contains lot of jpeg images..i have to sort this images and putd in textfile by linux.i have one more file it contains timer
it says local image=10 seconds,by reading this timer file i have to display the images for evry 10 seconds.so my codinf should link sorted text file ,timer text file,images file(jpeg).

i want to show slideshow.. (every 10 seconds images should automaticaly change)
this was my concept sir
sir pls kindly help me in my coding itself sir
using for loop i can able to display every images after 10 seconds,,i dnt knw how to put
so pls help me sir

Again, is this a school project of some sort?

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

i dnt knw abt its either school project or training project...bt this was my task sir..

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

hello Mr jakr13
your code was so usefull to me.. thank you so much friend

[jakr13]

got it working?

One more suggestion. You said you have three tasks. Its better that you make separate functions for every task and make function call.

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

k friend..bt i have one doubt..i completed local folder images for evry 10 seconds.i have one more folder [remote folder] it should display evry 5th minutes..my TL told read current time,, in that take seconds and make divide by 5 if its true display first images of remote folder for 10 seconds and go to remaing local folder images to display..
did yu knw how to calculate seconds from current time..plss help me frnd

[jefftee]

did yu knw how to calculate seconds from current time..plss help me frnd

Why don't you use a QTimer with an interval of 300 seconds (5*60) and connect the timer to the timeout signal to a slot in your app?

If you must calculate the seconds yourself for some reason, either QDateTime or QTime can be used to get the number of miliseconds and divide by 1,000 to get the number of seconds.

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

i calculated sir bt its not properly working for evry 5th minute..
my coding

QTime time = QTime::currentTime();
   if((time.second() %5 ) == 0)
    {
      ReadImagesfromRemoteFolder();
    }

QTime time = QTime::currentTime();
   if((time.second() %5 ) == 0)
    {
      ReadImagesfromRemoteFolder();
    }

You do understand that seconds and minutes are two different units of time, right?

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

thanks its working bt again one problem for evry 5th minute remote folder should display on image for 10 seconds next remaining local folder images should display..bt for me evry 5th minutes remote folder image dispalying next local images start from begining.. can any one help me plss.

If I am not wrong, you should display image from remote folder for every 5th minute for 10 seconds and after that local images must be displayed. Am I right?

do you need the local images to be displayed every 10 seconds after that 5th minute 10 seconds?

if this is the case,you know now how to display images after 5th minute. After that, you can call the delay loop in my program which uses QTime::currenttime.addsecs(10) after calling the function "ReadFromRemoteFolder". It displays for 10 seconds after the 5th minute. Then read the images from the local folder for every 10sec.
