Detailed Description

The QQuickImageProvider class provides an interface for supporting pixmaps and threaded image requests in QML.

Since: 5.0 \inmodule QtQuick

QQuickImageProvider is used to provide advanced image loading features in QML applications. It allows images in QML to be:

\list

Loaded using QPixmaps rather than actual image files
Loaded asynchronously in a separate thread \endlist

To specify that an image should be loaded by an image provider, use the {"image:"} scheme for the URL source of the image, followed by the identifiers of the image provider and the requested image. For example:

\qml Image { source: "image://myimageprovider/image.png" } \endqml

This specifies that the image should be loaded by the image provider named "myimageprovider", and the image to be loaded is named "image.png". The QML engine invokes the appropriate image provider according to the providers that have been registered through QQmlEngine::addImageProvider().

Note that the identifiers are case-insensitive, but the rest of the URL will be passed on with preserved case. For example, the below snippet would still specify that the image is loaded by the image provider named "myimageprovider", but it would request a different image than the above snippet ("Image.png" instead of "image.png"). \qml Image { source: "image://MyImageProvider/Image.png" } \endqml

If you want the rest of the URL to be case insensitive, you will have to take care of that yourself inside your image provider.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QQuickImageProvider()

QQuickImageProvider::QQuickImageProvider	(	ImageType	type,
		Flags	flags = Flags() )

Creates an image provider that will provide images of the given type and behave according to the given flags.

Definition at line 311 of file qquickimageprovider.cpp.

◆ ~QQuickImageProvider()

QQuickImageProvider::~QQuickImageProvider ( )

override

Destroys the QQuickImageProvider.

Note: The destructor of your derived class need to be thread safe.

Member Function Documentation

◆ flags()

QQuickImageProvider::Flags QQuickImageProvider::flags ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the flags set for this provider.

Implements QQmlImageProviderBase.

Definition at line 340 of file qquickimageprovider.cpp.

◆ imageType()

QQuickImageProvider::ImageType QQuickImageProvider::imageType ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the image type supported by this provider.

Implements QQmlImageProviderBase.

Definition at line 332 of file qquickimageprovider.cpp.

◆ requestImage()

QImage QQuickImageProvider::requestImage	(	const QString &	id,
		QSize *	size,
		const QSize &	requestedSize )

virtual

Implement this method to return the image with id.

The default implementation returns an empty image.

The id is the requested image source, with the "image:" scheme and provider identifier removed. For example, if the image \l{Image::}{source} was "image://myprovider/icons/home", the given id would be "icons/home".

The requestedSize corresponds to the \l {Image::sourceSize} requested by an Image item. If requestedSize is a valid size, the image returned should be of that size.

In all cases, size must be set to the original size of the image. This is used to set the \l {Item::}{width} and \l {Item::}{height} of the relevant \l Image if these values have not been set explicitly.

Note: this method may be called by multiple threads, so ensure the implementation of this method is reentrant.

Reimplemented in QQuickImagePreviewProvider, and QQuickImageProviderWithOptions.

Definition at line 364 of file qquickimageprovider.cpp.

◆ requestPixmap()

QPixmap QQuickImageProvider::requestPixmap	(	const QString &	id,
		QSize *	size,
		const QSize &	requestedSize )

virtual

Implement this method to return the pixmap with id.

The default implementation returns an empty pixmap.

The id is the requested image source, with the "image:" scheme and provider identifier removed. For example, if the image \l{Image::}{source} was "image://myprovider/icons/home", the given id would be "icons/home".

The requestedSize corresponds to the \l {Image::sourceSize} requested by an Image item. If requestedSize is a valid size, the image returned should be of that size.

In all cases, size must be set to the original size of the image. This is used to set the \l {Item::}{width} and \l {Item::}{height} of the relevant \l Image if these values have not been set explicitly.

Note: this method may be called by multiple threads, so ensure the implementation of this method is reentrant.

Reimplemented in ColorImageProvider, ColorImageProvider, and QQuickImageProviderWithOptions.

Definition at line 393 of file qquickimageprovider.cpp.

◆ requestTexture()

QQuickTextureFactory * QQuickImageProvider::requestTexture	(	const QString &	id,
		QSize *	size,
		const QSize &	requestedSize )

virtual

Implement this method to return the texture with id.

The default implementation returns \nullptr.

The id is the requested image source, with the "image:" scheme and provider identifier removed. For example, if the image \l{Image::}{source} was "image://myprovider/icons/home", the given id would be "icons/home".

The requestedSize corresponds to the \l {Image::sourceSize} requested by an Image item. If requestedSize is a valid size, the image returned should be of that size.

In all cases, size must be set to the original size of the image. This is used to set the \l {Item::}{width} and \l {Item::}{height} of the relevant \l Image if these values have not been set explicitly.
