Issue with FilePicker in BlackBerry 10

Question

I've being trying to implement a native File picker on BlackBerry 10 today, I linked it against the required Library -lbbcascadespickers Included <bb/cascades/pickers/FilePicker> that links to the FilePicker.hpp class and all seems fine, but when I try to create a new File picker it says "error: 'FilePicker' was not declared in this scope"

Code is as follows:

    FilePicker* filePicker = new FilePicker();
filePicker->setType(FileType::Picture);
filePicker->setTitle("Select Picture");
filePicker->setMode(FilePickerMode::Picker);
filePicker->open();

// Connect the fileSelected() signal with the slot.
QObject::connect(filePicker,
    SIGNAL(fileSelected(const QStringList&)),
    this,
    SLOT(onFileSelected(const QStringList&)));

// Connect the canceled() signal with the slot.
QObject::connect(filePicker,
    SIGNAL(canceled()),
    this,
    SLOT(onCanceled()));

I'm brand new to BlackBerry development so don't really know what to do, I've cleaned the project and built it many times but it won't play. I was going by the example on BlackBerry's website:

https://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades/bb_cascades_pickers__filepicker.html

I wanted to open it from QML (I'm using Qt Quick and not BB components)

If anyone can help it will be deeply appreciated

Answer 1

The compiler can't find FilePicker. So either use a using to tell the compiler where to look:

using namespace bb::cascades::pickers;

or fully qualify the name of the class:

bb::cascades::pickers::FilePicker* filePicker = new FilePicker();
