how to set QFile dir to the qml folder

Question

I'm having this problem. through QML i can access the that located on the same location with the QML file. and then I create a parser with C++ and pass the path through QML. e.g :

on QML

path = "myfolder/myfile.txt"
parser.setFile(path)

on C++

void QMLParser::setFile(QString filename)
{    
     QString path =  QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath();
     path.append(filename);
     qDebug() <<path;
    file = new QFile(path);
    if(!file->exists())
    {
        qDebug() << "File: " << file->fileName() << "tidak ditemukan";
        //        return myList;
    }
    if(!file->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    {
        qDebug() << "Tidak dapat membuka file" << file->fileName() << "untuk ditulis";
        //        return myList;
    }
}

eventually parser could not found the file. and then I check that the current Dir of the parser are not in the same dir of QML (of course). but I cannot find any way to set the QFile dir to the QML dir. how should I achieve it?

by the way, I'm developing for symbian^3 . just for you to know if there even any other issues

Are you testing on the device or on the Qt simulator?

On the simulator you might run into the shadow build ( http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.3/creator-glossary.html ) but that only forces you to deploy/package your files correctly. Have a look at the DEPLOYMENTFOLDER solution in http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2556.
