error: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString

One more question, if I want to use PlaylistModel out side of ListView in QML, such as a Text item (it doesn't have model property to assign PlaylistModel as a model):

PlaylistModel {
    id: model_
}

Text {
        id: audioTitle
        anchors.top: headerItem.bottom
        anchors.topMargin: 3
        anchors.left: mediaPlaylist.right
        anchors.leftMargin: 3
        text: model_.title
        color: "white"
        font.pixelSize: 15
    }

But when I try to set model_.title to text, it didn't understand and raised the error: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString
How can I use it properly?
Thanks a lot ^^

Hello @Lucas_1603,

You can not use like that. if you want to use it in text then you need to loop over the model like below.

function iterate(){
for(var i = 0; i < yourModel.length; i++){
console.log("model's title::"+yourModel[i].title);
audioTitle.text=yourModel[i].title;
}
}

just try and let me know your result;

Happy coding.

@sharath I tried it out but it didn't work as we expected. I wrote a function like yours and called it in text but it still raised the error: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString
Don't have any general methods to use PlaylistModel for both in ListView and out of it (wherever in QML)?
Thanks for your help

@Lucas_1603 said in error: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString:

    text: model_.title

What should that mean?
"Give me the title of the song in my playlist"?
Which song are you talking about? the first, the last, one in the middle?

Lucas_1603

@GrecKo The second song for example. The title is "Mysong2"

GrecKo

So you have to somehow tell that you want the second one.

You could add an invokable get method in your model return data from a specific row.
But if you need it to be updated when the model changes, it's going to be hard.

I wrote a library for that https://github.com/oKcerG/QmlModelHelper , it works for any standard QAbstractItemModel.

You could use it like that:

text: model_.ModelHelper.map(1).title

@Lucas_1603 for second song,

text:model_[1].title

@sharath @GrecKo thanks for your ideas, I got it.
But in case I want to display all titles in text, how can I do that?

GrecKo

What @sharath proposed won't work. You can't access QAbstractItemModel's data with [].

@Lucas_1603 please better define what you want.
Do you want multiple text items for each of your songs? Or do you want all titles concatenated in one text? Or something else?

sharath

@Lucas_1603 Create get method to get perticular index data from QAbstractListModel class. follow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22711421/how-to-implement-qml-listmodel-like-get-method-for-an-qabstractlistmodel-derived .
i'm sure that your problem might solve with this link.

Happy coding

@GrecKo In ListView, I just need to specify the model and then I can assign model_.title, it'll display all titles concatenated in one text. I want do the same from the Text outside of ListView.
@sharath I actually created get method and it worked as I expected. Now I want to display all titles concatenated in one text.

No that's what it does, it creates a delegate for each row and position them the one after the other

I want do the same from the Text outside of ListView.

If you want the same why don't you want a ListView.

Maybe do a schema of what you actually want?

Lucas_1603

@GrecKo Great, I created another ListView and everything was done ^^
Thank you a lot. How about a schema as you said, can you give me some links or docs to learn more about it? Thanks
