[Interest] QML Singleton and QTimer?

[Jérôme Godbout]

You can check the thread affinity of an object and the current thread that will display the problem you encounter. Use a queued signal into the QTimer thread to sent the start (it will be delayed until the thread process the event, hopefully you do no need precision there).

Subject: [Interest] QML Singleton and QTimer?
I'm trying to have a simple singleton class, but it doesn't appear that I can use timers?


HardwareInterface::HardwareInterface(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
        m_timer = new QTimer(this);

        connect(m_timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, [=](){
                qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO;
        });

        m_timer->start(100); // QObject::startTimer: Timers can only be used with threads started with QThread

}

main.cpp: int main() {
...
qmlRegisterSingletonInstance("com.company.example", 1, 0, "HardwareInterface", &hardwareInterface);
...

How do we go about using timers in singletons?
