How do we set our PATH?

[ardisaz]

Hi guys, i'm new at Qt...
I have some question...
I want to make a music mobile application and i use QSound to play the sound.
I couldn't put sound at the resource. So i try to play the sound from my PC path
example: QSound:lay("C://user/home/qt/musicapp/guitar.wav");
My question, if i installed the .sys file to nokia device, can we still play the sound or there are some alternatives to use sound?

and i don't know how to use phonon to play mp3. How to use phonon? how to implement phonon exactly?

thx for your responds, that will really help me

How do we set our PATH?

On which platform?
For windwows 7:

You mean the driver *.sys file - form windows???

How to use phonon? how to implement phonon exactly?

He probably meant "sis" which is Symbian.

I'm sorry, i meant sis for Symbian device...
Will my apps still working fine if i put the path directory for my sound resource like that?
Because for images, i used resource to make a paht (from prefix)
thank you very much

I'm sorry, I'm afraid i didn't ask the right question for my problem,
I want to make a mobile application for nokia (symbian)
the problem is, for my images, i use from resource (the prefix path) to my application so if I implement my program to nokia device, they can stil recognize my images because the .src file is in the same file with the .pro file

But when i try to use sound, i can't put it in the resource file. So i have to use the path from my PC (from c://Qt/myProject/MySound/guitar.wav). The question is, when i use QMake to create .sys file, will it be a problem to the path for my sound?

And about phonon, i try to read the docs, but i can't understand it. This is the first time i make program using Qt. I really need your help about using phonon to play a sound. How does it work?

Thank you very much

Yes. There is no c:\ on symbian. You need to have a correct path there but you can make it relative to your application binary if you want using QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath().

You can embed binary data in your application without resources. Have a look at bin2h. Phonon's MediaSource takes accepts a QBuffer, which accepts a QByteArray, which has QByteArray::fromRawData().

I would put your sound file into a resource file. I think that you can create the QSound with the ":/sound.wav".

I am guessing that you are using Symbian OS. The notes in QSound apply,

CMdaAudioPlayerUtility is used. All formats that Symbian OS or devices support are supported also by Qt.

I don't know if 'wav' files are supported. Can you run the 'CMdaAudioPlayerUtility' to play your sound? For Qt embedded linux, the OSS devices are used. You can try to use 'mplayer -ao oss sound.wav' if that is available on your device.

Thx everyone, i try the QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() and it worked well at my emulator...
I havent test it to nokia device yet,
I have one more question... I pun the sound file in the same folder with my .pro file. If i used QMake to create .sis file, my sound folder will be on the .sis file or not? If the .sis didn't contain my sound folder, what should i do to put the sound on the .sis file

thx a bunch
