Header File
#include <QObject>
#include <QGeoPositionInfoSource>
using namespace QtMobility;
class LocationWatcher : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
LocationWatcher(QObject *parent = 0);
void enable();
void disable();
private slots:
void positionUpdated(const QGeoPositionInfo &info);
private:
QGeoPositionInfoSource *source;
};
Source File
#include <QDebug>
#include "locationwatcher.h"
LocationWatcher::LocationWatcher(QObject *parent)
: QObject(parent)
{
source = QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource(this);
if (source) {
source->setUpdateInterval(1000); // time in milliseconds
source->setPreferredPositioningMethods(QGeoPositionInfoSource::AllPositioningMethods);
}
}
void LocationWatcher::enable()
{
if (source) {
connect(source, SIGNAL(positionUpdated(QGeoPositionInfo)),
this, SLOT(positionUpdated(QGeoPositionInfo)));
source->startUpdates();
}
}
void LocationWatcher::disable()
{
if (source) {
source->stopUpdates();
disconnect(source, SIGNAL(positionUpdated(QGeoPositionInfo)),
this, SLOT(positionUpdated(QGeoPositionInfo)));
}
}
void LocationWatcher::positionUpdated(const QGeoPositionInfo &info)
{
if (info.isValid()) {
qDebug() << info;
}
}
