QFileSystemWatcher empty QStringList file()

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I hope that someone can help me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My problem is that I am referring to a directory with 10 files but the function files() of QFileSystemWatcher class give me back a empty list. That's my code:

UploadDeleteFile.hpp

Code:

---

#ifndef UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_
#define UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_
 
#include "TestScheduler.hpp"
#include "accountInfoSettings.hpp"
#include <QFileSystemWatcher>
#include <QObject>
#include <QStringList>
 
class UploadDeleteFile : public QObject{
 
	Q_OBJECT
 
public:
	UploadDeleteFile(QObject *parent, TestScheduler *myTestScheduler, accountInfoSettings *myAccountInfoSettings);
	virtual ~UploadDeleteFile();
 
	QStringList getFileNameList();
	Q_INVOKABLE void setFileNameList();
 
	accountInfoSettings *accountInfo;
	QFileSystemWatcher fileSystem;
	TestScheduler *testScheduler;
	QStringList filelist;
	QString filename;
	int index;
};
 
#endif /* UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_ */

---

UploadDeleteFile.cpp

Code:

---

#include "FileUploader.hpp"
#include "MessageComposer.hpp"
#include "UploadDeleteFile.hpp"
 
#include <bb/system/SystemToast>
#include <stdio.h>
 
using namespace bb::cascades;
using namespace bb::pim::account;
using namespace bb::system;
 
UploadDeleteFile::UploadDeleteFile(QObject *parent, TestScheduler *myTestScheduler, accountInfoSettings *myAccountInfoSettings): QObject(parent) {
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	testScheduler = myTestScheduler;
	accountInfo = myAccountInfoSettings;
	index = -1;
	filename = "";
	filelist = QStringList();
}
 
UploadDeleteFile::~UploadDeleteFile() {
	// TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
}
 
void UploadDeleteFile::setFileName(QString name){
	filename = name;
}
 
void UploadDeleteFile::setFileNameList(){
	fileSystem.addPath("data/Tests/");
	QStringList directories = fileSystem.directories();
	filelist = fileSystem.files();
}
 
QStringList UploadDeleteFile::getFileNameList(){
	return filelist;
}

Any help is welcome. Thanks Carmen

You are not watching any files, only the directory "data/Tests/".

Could you give me more info? My files are in "data/Tests/" directory. I only need to read their names.
Thanks to replay me :)

The file system watcher can be told to watch files and directories. You are only watching a directory, thus files() returns an empty list.

Maybe you are looking for QDir::entryList)()?

Thank you soooo much. That works :)
