Detailed Description

The radio data object will emit signals for any changes in radio data. You can enable or disable alternative frequency with setAlternativeFrequenciesEnabled().

You can get a QRadioData instance fromt the radioData property from a QRadioTuner instance.

radio = new QRadioTuner;
radioData = radio->radioData();

Alternatively, you can pass an instance of QRadioTuner to the constructor to QRadioData.

Member Function Documentation

QRadioData::QRadioData(QMediaObject *mediaObject, QObject *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a radio data based on a mediaObject and parent.

The mediaObject should be an instance of QRadioTuner. It is preferable to use the radioData property on a QRadioTuner instance to get an instance of QRadioData.

During construction, this class is bound to the mediaObject using the bind() method.

[signal] void QRadioData::alternativeFrequenciesEnabledChanged(bool enabled)

Signals that automatically tuning to alternative frequencies has been enabled or disabled according to enabled.

Note: Notifier signal for property alternativeFrequenciesEnabled.

[signal] void QRadioData::error(QRadioData::Error error)

Signals that an error occurred.

Note: Signal error is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:

connect(radioData, QOverload<QRadioData::Error>::of(&QRadioData::error),
    [=](QRadioData::Error error){ /* ... */ });

[signal] void QRadioData::programTypeChanged(QRadioData::ProgramType programType)

Signals that the Program Type code has changed to programType

Note: Notifier signal for property programType.

[signal] void QRadioData::programTypeNameChanged(QString programTypeName)

Signals that the Program Type Name has changed to programTypeName

Note: Notifier signal for property programTypeName.

[signal] void QRadioData::radioTextChanged(QString radioText)

Signals that the Radio Text property has changed to radioText

Note: Notifier signal for property radioText.

[signal] void QRadioData::stationIdChanged(QString stationId)

Signals that the Program Identification code has changed to stationId

Note: Notifier signal for property stationId.

[signal] void QRadioData::stationNameChanged(QString stationName)

Signals that the Program Service has changed to stationName

Note: Notifier signal for property stationName.

[virtual] QRadioData::~QRadioData()

Destroys a radio data.

QMultimedia::AvailabilityStatus QRadioData::availability() const

Returns the availability of the radio data service.

A long as there is a media service which provides radio functionality, then the availability will be that of the radio tuner.

QRadioData::Error QRadioData::error() const

Returns the error state of a radio data.

See also errorString().

QString QRadioData::errorString() const

Returns a description of a radio data's error state.

See also error().

[override virtual] QMediaObject *QRadioData::mediaObject() const

Reimplements: QMediaBindableInterface::mediaObject() const.

See also setMediaObject().

[override virtual protected] bool QRadioData::setMediaObject(QMediaObject *mediaObject)

Reimplements: QMediaBindableInterface::setMediaObject(QMediaObject *object).

See also mediaObject().
