Converting Unix Time given in string to QDateTime

Comments

Vineet.jain - Compatibility

Though i have tested it using Nokia Qt SDK 1.1.3 & on devices N9/N950, but i am pretty sure that this code snippet is compatible with previous Qt SDK versions & platforms as well.

Thanks

Hamishwillee - Nice

Hi Vineet

Thanks for clarification. I've added "|platform=Qt, All versions" to capture the compatibility with Symbian and MeeGo.

Two notes for your future articles:

• It is worth linking to the API reference. Typically I provide a link to the API reference if I mention an API in the Abstract- as you will see above I have done this for QString. The easiest way to create the link is to use the Qapiname template as this creates a link to the Qt documentation for core classes (but not Qt Mobility) with just the APIname.
• Highlighting inline code to make articles more readable - I just use Icode template for this.

Regards

Hamish

The code snippet shows how we can convert a unix time value stored in a QString to a corresponding value in QDateTime.
