RootContext method
-
can any one briefly explain what will rootContext method do in QDeclaritiveView class ....
I didn't understand what was written in documentation........
-
Please have look again at "QDeclarativeContext class references":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/qdeclarativeview.html#rootContext:
bq. QDeclarativeContext * QDeclarativeView::rootContext () const
This function returns the root of the context hierarchy. Each QML component is instantiated in a QDeclarativeContext. QDeclarativeContext's are essential for passing data to QML components. In QML, contexts are arranged hierarchically and this hierarchy is managed by the QDeclarativeEngine.What is bothering you in this description?

... and make sure that you've followed the documentation to "QDeclarativeContext":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8-snapshot/qdeclarativecontext.html and "QDeclarativeEngine":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8-snapshot/qdeclarativeengine.html, which contain a brief explanation of both.

can u briefly explain this sentence.......

Different QDeclarativeContexts are organized the same way as QObjects are - as a tree. Each QDeclarativeContext has one parent context and n child contexts. As in every tree there is exactly one root element, which has n children, but no parent.
As each QDeclarativeEngine has its own context tree each QDeclarativeEngine has its own root context element, which is automatically created and accessible through QDeclarativeEngine::rootContext(). See "The Context Hierarchy":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8-snapshot/qdeclarativecontext.html#the-context-hierarchy.
A "QDeclarativeContext":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8-snapshot/qdeclarativecontext.html#details is used to pass data between QML and C++.
