QAbstractListModel - dataChanged

[Julien B]

@goxx00,

Can you show us your data method?

Ps: I think there is a typo in your test if(role=Qt::EditRole) should be if(role==Qt::EditRole) with 2 '='

[goxx00]

Thanks.

 QVariant Page::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
    {
        if(index.row() <0 || index.row() >= labels_p.count())
            return QVariant();
        const Label &label = labels_p[index.row()];
        if (role==LabelnameRole)
            return label.labelname();
        else if (role==ValueRole)
                    return label.value();
        else if (role==UnitRole)
                    return label.unit();
        else if (role==DisplaytypRole)
                    return label.displaytyp();
        else if (role==DisplaysizeRole)
                    return label.displaysize();
        return QVariant();
    }

Any advices ?

@goxx00

Try replacing if(role==Qt::EditRole) by if(role==ValueRole) in your setData method.

Are you sure your data is properly writed in labels_p in your code (checked with the debugger or a simple qDebug)?

How do you write your value data in your qml?

You haven't shown your qml code, the problem might be there, in the view or delegate.

Now the values get updated in the labels_p. You were right. Before I corrected the typing error it worked too :D

 GridView {
                    id:contentView
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    cellWidth: 200
                    cellHeight: 105

                    layoutDirection: Qt.LeftToRight
                    verticalLayoutDirection: GridView.TopToBottom
                    model: dataModel


                    delegate: gridViewtemplate
                }

...

Component {
        id: gridViewtemplate


                Rectangle {
                width: 190
                height: 85
                color: "#4c4c4c"
                     Label {
                         id:lname
                          anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
                          color: "#cccccc"
                          anchors.margins: 5
                          anchors.top: parent.top
                          text: labelname
                          font.pixelSize: 20
                     }
                     Label {
                         anchors.left: parent.left
                         color: "#cccccc"
                         anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
                         anchors.margins: 5
                         text: value
                         font.pixelSize: 25

                        Label {
                            anchors.left: parent.right
                            color: "#cccccc"
                            anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
                            anchors.margins: 5
                            text: unit
                            font.pixelSize: 10
                        }
                     }
              }

      }

In my main.cpp I set the context property datamodel to an object of my Page class.

engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("dataModel",connector.data2);

connector is the class where i implemented my sockets and where I have the data2-object, which is a Page object. I am aiming for displaying the data2 object in the gridview.
The connector runs in a second thread.

@goxx00 Does the grid show the values when it is shown the first time? Does Application Output in Qt Creator give any qml errors?

[goxx00]

It shows nothing and in the application output occur no errors.
When I refresh the context property everytime I change something, then the model gets displayed.

[goxx00]

When I update the context property after adding the labels it works. But this shows me that my addLabel function has a mistake or do i have to emit a signal when i add an item to my QList ?
I thought the insertRows function do that.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

[Eeli K]

@goxx00 Basically the data() method should work because data is shown once. Unless you want to edit the values through the GUI (make them user editable) you don't need the setData function. You can just read or receive the values from the socket, store them in some form and then decide in your reading/receiving code what kind of signal should be emitted to notify the view about the changes. If the amount of rows stays the same, emit dataChanged with the indexes of the first and the last changed row. If rows are added, call begin/endInsertRows(). If much of the data is changed and the amount of rows changes, it's easiest to call begin/endResetModel().

When the view receives a signal it automatically decides how to fetch and update the visible data. In any case it calls your model's data() function.

I assume you have read the Subclassing section of the documentation and implemented rowCount and roleNames functions (probably it wouldn't work the first time unless you haven't).

[goxx00]

Thank you very much. For sure, I have read the section and implemented the rowCount(), the flags() and the roleNames() functions. I hope I will get it it now.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[goxx00]

Ok I am not ready yet :D I have the next problem maybe you can help me with it.
When I add an Item to the QList, with the addLabel function I get an error:

QObject::connect:: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QQmlChangeSet'
(Make sure 'QQmlChangeSet' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)

I searched for a solution but I didnt found sth. that worked.
I thin k it has to do with the fact that the object is in another Thread than the GUI.
