Question

I’m trying to use QOAuth but received following error:

error: ‘QOAuth::Interface& QOAuth::Interface::operator=(const QOAuth::Interface&)’ is private

My source code is as follows:

service.h

// ...
class Service : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

// ...

private:
    QOAuth::Interface *qoauth;
};
// ...

service.cpp

#include "service.h"

Service::Service(QObject *parent) :
    QObject(parent)
{
*qoauth = new QOAuth::Interface;
}

QString Service::getAuthorizeUrl(QString consumerKey, QString consumerSecret){

    // set the consumer key and secret
    qoauth->setConsumerKey(consumerKey);
    qoauth->setConsumerSecret(bytes);

    // ...
}

void Service::accessToken(QString url) {
    // send a request to exchange Request Token for an Access Token
    QOAuth::ParamMap reply = qoauth->accessToken(url, QOAuth::POST, m_token, m_tokenSecret, QOAuth::HMAC_SHA1);

    // ...
}

I don’t understand pointer enough and it may be the cause…

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

*qoauth = new QOAuth::Interface; is not correct since new returns a pointer to the object it should be qoauth = new QOAuth::Interface;
