QQAbstractListModel not populating elements to List View

[DevQt]

Hi ,

I am trying to populate a ListView using QAbstractListModel. But, the Listview is not displaying anything on the screen. Can anyone help me to figure out the issue here .......

   Below are my source files : qtquick2applicationviewer.h

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Because you are setting your model on your QQuickView object but loading your qml file in your QtQuick2Application viewer object.

The code for the example can be found here. You also have it Qt's folder.

[DevQt]

resolved , loaded the qml file as below :

QQuickView view;

view.setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView);
view.setSource(QUrl("main.qml"));
view.show();

thanks for the correction

You're welcome !
