XmlRole with Flickr API

[strekazoid]

Trying to use QML with Flickr API calls.

The thing is that, for example, flickr.photosets.getPhotos call returns a weird looking XML, which looks pretty differently from RSS feed. Here it is:

<rsp stat="ok">
<photoset id="72157625173285745" primary="5140502686" owner="23802687@N06" ownername="Alexander Savin" page="1" per_page="500" perpage="500" pages="1" total="38">
<photo id="5140502686" secret="0ee829b415" server="1190" farm="2" title="Vintage photography from the attic" isprimary="1"/>
<photo id="5140505054" secret="faaeb624bb" server="4005" farm="5" title="Vintage photography from the attic" isprimary="0"/>

..and so on.

The thing I'm trying is to parse owner value from this XML (which is "23802687@N06" in this case). Is it possible to do with XmlListModel and XmlRole? Or how this should be done in a proper way? Some JavaScript maybe?

Thanks!

Yes, assuming your XmlListModel query is "/rsp/photoset" then an XmlRole query value of "@owner/string()" would fetch the owner value. The "@" indicates you are fetching an attribute value. See http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-xmlrole.html for more info.

Thanks, that should do!

is there any way to filter data (XQuery), lets say i want all the images where id starts with "7" or where owner name is "abc"

No, not at the moment. Currently xquery statements can only be used for modifying individual data values, rather than the data model itself.
