    @jksh Yep, I got it. I realized what all you guys said.

    So I change the approach to my project now, assume that I have a PlaylistModel class:

    #include <QAbstractListModel>
    class PlaylistModel : public QAbstractListModel
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    
    public:
        enum Roles {
            TitleRole = Qt::UserRole + 1,
            SingerRole,
            SourceRole,
            AlbumArtRole
        };
    
        explicit PlaylistModel(QObject *parent = nullptr);
    
        int rowCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const override;
    
        QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const override;
        void addSong(Song &song);
    
    protected:
        QHash<int, QByteArray> roleNames() const override;
    
    private:
        QList<Song> m_data;
    };
    

    Now I want to access m_data (is the private attribute) from QML file, how can I do that?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    You can only access private variables in the class which defines them. So expose a getter/setter if you really need to. But since QAbstractListModel already has data() & setData() methods you would normally go via those.

      @lucas_1603 said in error: "'QObject::QObject(const QObject&)' is private" and "use of deleted function 'QObject::QObject(const QObject&)'":

      QList<Song> m_data

      Does that compile?

      Store pointers-to-QObjects inside containers, rather than QObjects themselves.

        @jksh Yes, it compiled.
        @JonB As you said, I can access m_data via data() and setData() method. In data(), I have to assign QModelIndex &index and int role to it .
        How I can use data() method with enum TitleRole?

          You should override roleNames method in your model:

          QHash<int, QByteArray> PlaylistModel::roleNames() const
          {
              static QHash<int, QByteArray>* ret = nullptr;
              if (ret)
                  return *ret;
          
              ret = new QHash<int, QByteArray>();
              (*ret)[TitleRole] = "title";
              ...
          
              return *ret;
          }
          

          Then in QML you can use them as model property: model.title.

            @intruderexcluder yes, I overrided it. When I use PlaylistModel as a model in QML, I actually just want to access m_data variable, not all of PlaylistModel attributes.
            Any suggestions to do that? Thanks a lot

              You are probably doing something wrong, but you can at any time simply add slot or invokable method to access any data.

                Is Song still a subclass of QObject?

                  @jksh No, it's not now. I think I'm doing right way in this time ^^
                  The challenge now is accessing to m_data to get title, singer, source, album_art.

                    There's often more than 1 way to achieve something; some are just easier or more efficient than others :)

                    The challenge now is accessing to m_data to get title, singer, source, album_art.

                    I see that you've implemented a Model. The idea behind a model is that you shouldn't need to access the internal data structure directly. Instead, you use the model's standard interface (rows, columns, and maybe roles) to access individual fields.

                    In your example, you can treat each Row as an individual song. You can also treat each Column as a song field (e.g. Col 1 = Title, Col 2 = Singer, etc.). Older examples use Roles instead of Columns

                    In QML, you normally don't call data() and setData() directly; you let the View and Delegate call them for you.

                    Spend some time getting to know the model-view framework first:

                    • https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-modelviewsdata-cppmodels.html
                    • https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-models-objectlistmodel-example.html
                      • https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/tree/examples/quick/models/objectlistmodel?h=5.13

                    This is quite a lengthy topic, so it's not something that we can teach you over a few forum posts. You need to spend time going through examples and modifying them to see how they behave. trying things out.

                      All you guys helped me a lot and I really appreciate it.
                      I'll spend more time to learn more about model-view framework to see how really they work.
