Not able to connect c++ signal to qml slot using QML connections

cgoma

I am unable to connect C++ signal to QML slot using QML Connections

Below are the code snippets.

I have created my class like below.

i.e. connection.h
@
#ifndef CONNECTION_H
#define CONNECTION_H

#include <QObject>

class connection : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit connection(QObject *parent = 0);

signals:
void mySignal();

public slots:
Q_INVOKABLE void mySlot();

};
@

connection.cpp

@
#include "connection.h"
#include<QDebug>

connection::connection(QObject *parent) :
QObject(parent)
{
}

void connection::mySlot()
{
qDebug() << "I have got the Signal" <<'\n';
emit mySignal();
}
@

main.cpp is below.

@
#include <QtGui/QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlContext>
#include "qtquick2applicationviewer.h"
#include "connection.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

QtQuick2ApplicationViewer viewer;
connection obj;
viewer.setMainQmlFile&#40;QStringLiteral("qml/stateTransistion/main.qml"&#41;&#41;;

viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("connectionHandler", &obj);
viewer.showExpanded();

return app.exec&#40;&#41;;

}
@

main.qml is as below

@
import QtQuick 2.0

Rectangle {
id: signal
width: 200; height: 200
border.color: "black"

MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: {
            connectionHandler.mySlot()
        }
    }

Connections
{
    target: connectionHandler
    onMySignal:console.log("I have got the signal emitted from C++")
}

}
@

Whenever I ran my application, I will get below error

QML Connections: Cannot assign to non-existent property "onMySignal"
ReferenceError: connectionHandler is not defined

If I have commented the Connections in main.qml then I am able to call mySlot() (i.e. Line number 11 in main.qml) using connectionHandler.
But when I uncommented Connections then i am getting below error

QML Connections: Cannot assign to non-existent property "onMySignal"
ReferenceError: connectionHandler is not defined

I very novice in Qt.
Please help me to resolve these errors

Load the QmL file after exposing the object. Also get engine from viewer and get context. Set your variables in this context.

It is working fine.
Thanks for your reply.
But I am not getting the difference between loading the QML file after exposing the object and loading the QML file before exposing the object?

Ok. You are using your registered object inside QmL. When you load QmL it looks for this object. How does it know about your object ?. You need to register before loading.
