Detailed Description
You can control the systems analog radio device using this interface, for example:
radio = new QRadioTuner; connect(radio, SIGNAL(frequencyChanged(int)), this, SLOT(freqChanged(int))); if (radio->isBandSupported(QRadioTuner::FM)) { radio->setBand(QRadioTuner::FM); radio->setFrequency(yourRadioStationFrequency); radio->setVolume(100); radio->start(); }
The radio object will emit signals for any changes in state such as: bandChanged(), frequencyChanged(), stereoStatusChanged(), searchingChanged(), signalStrengthChanged(), volumeChanged(), mutedChanged().
You can change between the frequency bands using setBand() however it is recommended that you check to make sure the band is available first using isBandSupported().

Member Function Documentation
QRadioTuner::QRadioTuner(QObject *parent = nullptr)
Constructs a radio tuner based on a media service allocated by the default media service provider.
The parent is passed to QMediaObject.
[signal] void QRadioTuner::bandChanged(QRadioTuner::Band band)
Signals a radio tuner's band has changed.
Note: Notifier signal for property band.
[slot] void QRadioTuner::cancelSearch()
Stops scanning for a signal.
See also searchForward(), searchBackward(), and searching.
[signal] void QRadioTuner::error(QRadioTuner::Error error)
Signals that an error occurred.
Note: Signal error is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:
connect(radioTuner, QOverload<QRadioTuner::Error>::of(&QRadioTuner::error), [=](QRadioTuner::Error error){ /* ... */ });
[signal] void QRadioTuner::frequencyChanged(int frequency)

Search all stations in current band
Emits QRadioTuner::stationFound(int, QString) for every found station. After searching is completed, QRadioTuner::searchingChanged(bool) is emitted (false). If searchMode is set to SearchGetStationId, searching waits for station id (PI) on each frequency.
See also searchForward(), searchBackward(), and searching.
[slot] void QRadioTuner::searchBackward()
Starts a backwards scan for a signal, starting from the current frequency.
See also searchForward(), cancelSearch(), and searching.
