Console input with QCoreApplication

[rahman.duran]

Hi.

I am trying to figure out how to take user input from console application. I cant handle console input after qcoreapplication.exec() runs. Any advice?

Use QSocketNotifier on stdin. When you're notified, you can do your reading.

I wrote a very simple console app that playback audio with phonon. The problem is I want user to control playback ( play, pause, stop etc. ) with simple commands from console. But the code I wrote after exec(), never reached as qcoreapplication enters event loop. BTW, I cant control phonon before exec() because it doesnt do anything before exec();

So what I need is to take user input from console after qcoreapplication enters its event loop.

And I am just writing this app to learn qt. As a Java dev I am trying to figure out qt mechanisms
