Hi!

I am trying to call the "GetMetadata" dbus method from within my Qt Application in order to get info from an running amarok2 instance. if I do a

Code: Select all

qDebug()   ret;
QString interface("org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer");
QString method("GetMetadata");
QDBusMessage msg = getPlayerCall(interface,method);
QDBusMessage retval = call(msg);
qDebug() ();


but how can I turn retval.arguments to a proper QVariantMap?

after some hours spent with google It seems that I finally found a solution. I let you know if it works.

here it is:

Code: Select all

QMap AmarokPlayer::getMetadata()
{
   QMap  ret;
   QString interface("org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer");
   QString method("GetMetadata");
   QDBusMessage msg = getPlayerCall(interface,method);
   QDBusReply > argumentList = call(msg);
   if (argumentList.isValid()) {
      QMap map = argumentList.value();
      QMap::iterator i = map.begin();
      while (i != map.end()) {
         ret[i.key()] = i.value().toString();
          ++i;
       }
   }
   return ret;
}
