Hi, I'm doing the following conversion:
wchar_t buffer[5];
QString string = QString::fromWCharArray(buffer);
char *utf8encoded = string.toUtf8();
But it seems to give me the following error:
'initializing': conversion of 'QByteArray' can not be performed 'char *' No conversion operator is available defined by the user who can perform this conversion, or can not call the operator
I followed the documentation but I still have the same error ...
The problem is that the method toUtf8() of the class QString returns a variable of type QByteArray , while you are trying to store the result in a variable of type char* .
So you should change this:
char *utf8encoded = string.toUtf8();
Because of this:
QByteArray utf8encoded = string.toUtf8();
But if you need to work with data of type char* , in the class QByteArray you have a method called data() that returns a pointer to the data. This way you could do the following:
char *utf8encoded = string.toUtf8().data();
Greetings.
