Qlist returns Size as -1

[Mathan M]

Hi,

I am writing the list of portalsearchitems in an xml file. I can extract the info like Title,Owner but the Size returns -1. I need size for computing the space available.

Code Snippet:
main.qml

  for (var ii = 0; ii <= varidPortalSearchItemsCount -1 ;ii++)
                {
                    vartextJson += '{"title":"'+ idPortalSearchItems.results[ii].title +'"
                                    ,"owner":"'+ idPortalSearchItems.results[ii].owner +'"

                                    ,"size":"'+ idPortalSearchItems.results[ii].size +'"  //Size is just shown as -1


                                    }' + ',';
                }

Thanks In advance.

@Mathan-M said in Qlist returns Size as -1:

  for (var ii = 0; ii <= varidPortalSearchItemsCount -1 ;ii++)

This looks odd to me: why don't you use

for ( var ii = 0; ii < varidPortalSearchItemsCount ; ++ii )

[Mathan M]

ok.

I am accessing the value of Object.

idPortalSearchItems.results[ii].size

In the object, just it store only -1 value.

Hi
should it not be

• idPortalSearchItems.results[ii].size() +

as its a function call?

Also, QList cannot return -1 as far as i know.
it returns 0 for empty list.

Hi!
I was curious if this might be some JavaScript side effect with "size" being some predefined property or something like that. So, I've build a minimal example and no, no problems, works as expected for me. Can you verify that?

dataobject.h

#ifndef DATAOBJECT_H
#define DATAOBJECT_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QString>


class DataObject : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(QString title READ title WRITE setTitle NOTIFY titleChanged)
    Q_PROPERTY(int size READ size WRITE setSize NOTIFY sizeChanged)
public:
    explicit DataObject(const QString &t = QString(), int s = 0, QObject *parent = 0);
    QString title() const { return m_title; }
    void setTitle(const QString &t) {
        if (t == m_title)
            return;
        m_title = t;
        emit titleChanged(t);
    }
    int size() const { return m_size; }
    void setSize(int s) {
        if (s == m_size)
            return;
        m_size = s;
        emit sizeChanged(s);
    }

signals:
    void titleChanged(QString);
    void sizeChanged(int);
private:
    QString m_title;
    int m_size;
};

@Mathan-M You should also post other relevant information like what is results ? What does it return ?

[Mathan M]

Hi p3c0,

The results will back the portalItems information. If the portal consits of document, It will brings the type,name,owner,size and other relevant information and same applies to map like map type,name,owner,size. The object returns from the portal is perfect except the field Size. It just returning -1. I assume, the problem is not with server.

Thanks In advance.

@Mathan-M What is document ? What is its datatype ? What are type,name,owner,size in that document ? Is it a C++ or Javascript object ?

[A Former User]

Is result of type QList<QObject*>?

[Mathan M]

yes, the return type will be Qlist

[A Former User]

@Mathan-M Ok, then have a look at my code above; that works as expected, what's different to your code?
