QUdpSocket HeartBeat behaviour

I need to send the status of my Qt application through and Upd socket every seconds. How can I achive this? Should I subclass QThread e using QThread::sleep or is there a best approch ? thanks

Solution

  • In the end I use a different approch:

    a QTimer: 

    QTimer iAmAliveTimer.setInterval(1500);
iAmAliveTimer.setSingleShot(true);
connect(&iAmAliveTimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(sendIamAlive()), Qt::UniqueConnection);
iAmAliveTimer.start();

    when the SLOT is called, I send what I need through my socket.
