how to get latitude/longitude from geo address using Qt c++ QGeoServiceProvider? - c++

Question

I am trying to use the osm api via a QGeoServiceProvider and QGeoCodingManager to derive the latitude and longitude from a given physical address.
Thereby I stumbled upon this Question, which seems to do exactly what I need.
However I want to implement this in a qt gui application as a separate function and I don' t understand what is happening in the connect.
Could someone please explain or how I can modify it to get it to work in a function ?
cout << "Try service: " << "osm" << endl;
// choose provider
QGeoServiceProvider qGeoService("osm");
QGeoCodingManager *pQGeoCoder = qGeoService.geocodingManager();
if (!pQGeoCoder) {
cerr
<< "GeoCodingManager '" << "osm"
<< "' not available!" << endl;
}
QLocale qLocaleC(QLocale::C, QLocale::AnyCountry);
pQGeoCoder->setLocale(qLocaleC);
// build address
QGeoAddress qGeoAddr;
qGeoAddr.setCountry(QString::fromUtf8("Germany"));
qGeoAddr.setPostalCode(QString::fromUtf8("88250"));
qGeoAddr.setCity(QString::fromUtf8("Weingarten"));
qGeoAddr.setStreet(QString::fromUtf8("Heinrich-Hertz-Str. 6"));
QGeoCodeReply *pQGeoCode = pQGeoCoder->geocode(qGeoAddr);
if (!pQGeoCode) {
cerr << "GeoCoding totally failed!" << endl;
}
cout << "Searching..." << endl;
QObject::connect(pQGeoCode, &QGeoCodeReply::finished,
[&qGeoAddr, pQGeoCode](){
cout << "Reply: " << pQGeoCode->errorString().toStdString() << endl;
switch (pQGeoCode->error()) {
#define CASE(ERROR) \
case QGeoCodeReply::ERROR: cerr << #ERROR << endl; break
CASE(NoError);
CASE(EngineNotSetError);
CASE(CommunicationError);
CASE(ParseError);
CASE(UnsupportedOptionError);
CASE(CombinationError);
CASE(UnknownError);
#undef CASE
default: cerr << "Undocumented error!" << endl;
}
if (pQGeoCode->error() != QGeoCodeReply::NoError) return;
// eval. result
QList<QGeoLocation> qGeoLocs = pQGeoCode->locations();
cout << qGeoLocs.size() << " location(s) returned." << endl;
for (QGeoLocation &qGeoLoc : qGeoLocs) {
qGeoLoc.setAddress(qGeoAddr);
QGeoCoordinate qGeoCoord = qGeoLoc.coordinate();
cout
<< "Lat.: " << qGeoCoord.latitude() << endl
<< "Long.: " << qGeoCoord.longitude() << endl
<< "Alt.: " << qGeoCoord.altitude() << endl;
}
});
So I just removed the QApplication part because I dont have this reference in a function. As a result i get:
Qt Version: 5.10.0
Try service: osm
Searching...
but no coordinates. I assume the connection to where the lat and lon data is acquired fails. But as I mentioned I dont understand the connect here.
Any help is appreciated
EDIT
so I tried to build a connect to catch the finished Signal as suggested.
The code now looks like this:
QGeoServiceProvider qGeoService("osm");
QGeoCodingManager *pQGeoCoder = qGeoService.geocodingManager();
if (!pQGeoCoder) {
cerr
<< "GeoCodingManager '" << "osm"
<< "' not available!" << endl;
}
QLocale qLocaleC(QLocale::C, QLocale::AnyCountry);
pQGeoCoder->setLocale(qLocaleC);
// build address
//QGeoAddress qGeoAddr;
qGeoAddr.setCountry(QString::fromUtf8("Germany"));
qGeoAddr.setPostalCode(QString::fromUtf8("88250"));
qGeoAddr.setCity(QString::fromUtf8("Weingarten"));
qGeoAddr.setStreet(QString::fromUtf8("Heinrich-Hertz-Str. 6"));
this->pQGeoCode = pQGeoCoder->geocode(qGeoAddr);
if (!pQGeoCode) {
cerr << "GeoCoding totally failed!" << endl;
}
cout << "Searching..." << endl;
connect(pQGeoCode,SIGNAL(finished()),this,SLOT(getlonlat()));
With the Slot:
void MainWindow::getlonlat()
{
QList<QGeoLocation> qGeoLocs = pQGeoCode->locations();
cout << qGeoLocs.size() << " location(s) returned." << endl;
for (QGeoLocation &qGeoLoc : qGeoLocs) {
qGeoLoc.setAddress(qGeoAddr);
QGeoCoordinate qGeoCoord = qGeoLoc.coordinate();
cout
<< "Lat.: " << qGeoCoord.latitude() << endl
<< "Long.: " << qGeoCoord.longitude() << endl
<< "Alt.: " << qGeoCoord.altitude() << endl;
}
}
However the finished signal doesn't get triggered. Therefore the result is the same.

Notes:
When I wrote this sample I was very carefully about scope and life-time of involved variables. (Actually, I changed some local variables to pointers and instances created with new to achieve this.) This is my hint for any reader.
In my 1st test, the application ended up in CommunicationError. I'm quite sure that our company's security policy is responsible for this. (I did the same with my older sample which I tested successfully at home – with the same result.)
A 2nd test (at home) went better. First, I tried to find the address with service provider osm which brought 0 results. Changing the service provider to esri returned one result.
I copied the output to maps.google.de:
This is actually the correct result – as I tested the (new) address of the company EKS InTec where I'm working.
The usage of lambdas in the above sample makes it a bit hard to read. Therefore, I re-visited the sample. Now, all relevant stuff has moved to a class MainWindow (hopefully, closer to the requirement of OP). The lambdas were replaced by simple methods.

Note:
The look and behavior is the same like for the above example. I changed the output of reply a bit.
While preparing this sample, I realized that it is actually not necessary to set the address of the returned QGeoLocation as it is already there. IMHO, it is interesting that the returned address looks a bit different than the requested. It seems that it is returned in a (I would say) normalized form.
