Accessing resource file at run-time

[shudder]

My app needs to access/load resource files (image or xml) at run-time.

setPixmap(QPixmap("./Images/frame2.png"));

QFile file("./config.xml");

I just want to know where should I put these resource files in for the emulator WINSCW. I have tried to copy resource files into the launch folder:

\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0\epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\

But, it seems dosen't work.

Same kind of question is how to create package (sisx) with additoinal resource files in?

Any help? thanks

Welcome to Forum Nokia DiBo.

QDir::currentPath() returns the absolute path of the application's current directory, private path. so it is better to place files at private path on device, and then get path using QDir::currentPath().

For emulator ..\epoc32\winscw\c\private\<UID of app> is the current directory for application. so put your files there to access in emulator.

Hi,

You can use DEPLOYMENT variable in the .pro file to include files to the sis package.

symbian: {                           
    addFiles.sources = logo.bmp
    addFiles.path = .
    DEPLOYMENT += addFiles
}

That will add the following line into the generated pkg file

; DEPLOYMENT
"c:\symbian\Carbide\workspace\Test\logo.bmp"    - "!:\private\eff58179\logo.bmp"
