How to remove items from c++ model inside qml?

No, mySqlModel is a subclass of QSqlTableModel.

@CoderJeff Are you sure tableView.currentRow returns a valid row ?

Yes, I debug my code, and the input parameter idx is correct.

There are six rows. I checked each row's index: 0,1,2,3,4,5.

@CoderJeff Ok. Not sure then. I guess there's some other code that is causing the problem.

CoderJeff

@p3c0

The entire code is the following.

In C++ (Q_INVOKABLE):
void MyCppClass::remove(const int idx)
{
bool bExe = mySqlModel->removeRow(idx);
}

(Q_INVOKABLE)
QObject* MyCppClass::selectModel()
{
return mySqlModel->selectModel();
}

MySqlModel* MySqlModel::selectModel()
{
QString strQuery("SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM table WHERE field1='a'");
setQuery(QSqlQuery(strQuery));
return this;
}

TableView {
id: tableView
TableViewColumn{ role: "field1"; title: "Field1"}
TableViewColumn{ role: "field2"; title: "Field2"}
TableViewColumn{ role: "field3"; title: "Field3"}
model: myCppClass.selectModel()
......
}

Button{
onClicked: myCppClass.remove(tableView.currentRow);
}

@CoderJeff Can you check if mySqlModel has data ?
You can check it by using record.

mySqlModel->record(idx).value(0).toString() // checking value at column 0 and converting it to string

CoderJeff

@p3c0

You are right. It is empty.

I will check the logic.

A weird phenomenon. If using QSqlTableModel, the result is invalid. But if using QSqlQueryModel, the result is the expected.

Why?

The following is my debugging code.

MySqlModel* MySqlModel::selectModel()
{
QString strQuery("SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM table WHERE field1='a'");

    QVariant val0;
    QVariant val1;

    setQuery(QSqlQuery(strQuery));
    val0 =  record(0).value(0);  //Invalid
    val1 =  record(0).value(1);  //Invalid

    QSqlQueryModel model;
    model.setQuery(strQuery);
    val0 =  model.record(0).value(0);  //Correct. The result is the expected.
    val1 =  model.record(0).value(1);  //Correct. The result is the expected.

return this;
}

@CoderJeff According to the doc here, setTable should be used instead of setQuery for QSqlTableModel.

The cause is not as simple as I expected. Although I change MySqlModel's parent class to QSqlQueryModel instead of QSqlTableModel, it still does not work. But if using QSqlQueryModel directly, it works.

I am confusing.

class MySqlModel : public QSqlQueryModel
{
}

MySqlModel* MySqlModel::selectModel()
{
QString strQuery("SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM table WHERE field1='a'");

QVariant val0;
QVariant val1;

//using MySqlQueryModel
setQuery(strQuery);
val0 =  record(0).value(0);  //Invalid
val1 =  record(0).value(1);  //Invalid

//using QSqlQueryModel directly
QSqlQueryModel model;
model.setQuery(strQuery);
val0 =  model.record(0).value(0);  //Correct. The result is the expected.
val1 =  model.record(0).value(1);  //Correct. The result is the expected.

return this;
}

@CoderJeff Make sure the query is active before using setQuery.

QSqlQuery sq;
sq.prepare(strQuery);
sq.exec();
qDebug() << sq.isActive();
setQuery(sq);

I tested it in your way, but It still did not work. The query is definitely active because the return value of isActive() is true.

@CoderJeff Ok. Can you post your complete minimal runnable code somewhere in a zip to test ? Need to check whats actually going on.

I sent you the link. Please check it.

Hi @CoderJeff,
Your code looks fine. Use method1 or method3 in MySqlModel. The problem is with the view. TableView inside ScrollView seems to break. I just kept TableView in tab01 and everything worked as expected.

What's the meaning of "kept TableView in tab01"? Can you show me the code?

p3c0

@CoderJeff The contents of tab01.qml file. I just TableView in it and deleted the rest. It works.

//Tab01.qml

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1

TableView{
    id: tableView
    anchors.fill: parent
    TableViewColumn{ role: "id"; title: "Id"}
    TableViewColumn{ role: "name"; title: "Name"}
    TableViewColumn{ role: "author"; title: "Author"}
    TableViewColumn{ role: "year"; title: "Year"}
    model:myCppClass.model()
}

@p3c0

I got it.

Yes, it works. I change ScrollView to Rectangle, and it also seems work well. But I debugged the code, and fount that the value of val0 and val1 in method1 and method3 were still not right.

Did you check them?

p3c0

@CoderJeff Hmm that's strange. It doesn't work. Tested it with my other project, works there.

p3c0

@CoderJeff If you replace the code in data() with the following, it will work:

QVariant MySqlModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
    if (!index.isValid())
        return QVariant();

    switch(role) {
        case Id: {
            return record(index.row()).value(0).toString();
        }
        case Name : {
            return record(index.row()).value(1).toString();
        }
        case Author : {
            return record(index.row()).value(2).toString();
        }
        case Year : {
            return record(index.row()).value(3).toString();
        }
    }
    return QSqlQueryModel::data(index, role);
}

...

setQuery(strQuery);
var0 = record(1).value(0);
var1 = record(0).value(1);
qDebug() << var0 << var1;

Trying to find the reason.
