Member Function Documentation

[invokable] void QMediaMetaData::clear()

Removes all data from the meta data object.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] void QMediaMetaData::insert(QMediaMetaData::Key k, const QVariant &value)

Inserts a value into a Key: k.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] bool QMediaMetaData::isEmpty() const

Returns true if the meta data contains no items: otherwise returns false.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] QList<QMediaMetaData::Key> QMediaMetaData::keys() const

Returns a QList of QMediaMetaData::Keys.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[static invokable] QString QMediaMetaData::metaDataKeyToString(QMediaMetaData::Key key)

returns a string representation of key that can be used when presenting meta data to users.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] void QMediaMetaData::remove(QMediaMetaData::Key k)

Removes meta data from a Key: k.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] QString QMediaMetaData::stringValue(QMediaMetaData::Key key) const

Returns the meta data for key key as a QString.

This is mainly meant to simplify presenting the meta data to a user.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] QVariant QMediaMetaData::value(QMediaMetaData::Key key) const

Returns the meta data value for Key key, or a null QVariant if no meta data for the key is available.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

QVariant &QMediaMetaData::operator[](QMediaMetaData::Key k)

Returns data stored at the Key k.

 QMediaMetaData rockBallad1;
 rockBalad[QMediaMetaData::Genre]="Rock"

Member Variable Documentation

QHash<QMediaMetaData::Key, QVariant> QMediaMetaData::data

This property holds the metaData.

Note: this is a protected member of its class.

bool operator!=(const QMediaMetaData &a, const QMediaMetaData &b)

Compares two meta data objects a and b, and returns false if they are identical or true if they differ.

bool operator==(const QMediaMetaData &a, const QMediaMetaData &b)

Compares two meta data objects a and b, and returns true if they are identical or false if they differ.
