Change Item in ListView in a time interval

[vitorcarvalhoml]

How can I change the showing item after a while?
The interval could be set through a json file?

Thanks ;)

You can use "QTimer":https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtimer.html#details

@
QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(updateListView()));
timer->start(1000);
@

It's possible to solve this problem just using QML? Or QML and Javascript?
Thanks for your quickly answer! ;)

hi, there is a QML Timer object wrapper for QTimer, so yes you can use the timer in QML without any c++: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtqml/qml-qtquick2-timer.html

Hi, thank you!

I tried your solution. But I'm quite newbie. Here what i'm trying to do.

@Item {
id: root
property string name
property bool isSelected: listView.currentIndex === index
Timer {
interval: 5000; running: true; repeat: true
onTriggered: listView.currentIndex = currentIndex + 1
}@

When I run the file, I got this error:

[...] SlideItem.qml:11: ReferenceError: currentIndex is not defined

ps 1.: I am changing the Cinematic Experience (http://quitcoding.com/?page=work)

ps 1.: What I'm trying to do is a slideshow program

currentIndex should work if your listView ID is correct!? weird

but I guess you need that inside of the delegate of the ListView? then you should use the attached property "isCurrentItem":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick/qml-qtquick2-listview.html#isCurrentItem-prop anyways.

Also you can use "listView.incrementCurrentIndex()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick/qml-qtquick2-listview.html#incrementCurrentIndex-method instead of "listView.currentIndex = currentIndex + 1". :)

Thank you for the tip!

In my MainView.qml I set the listView ID
@ListView {
id: listView

        // property real globalLightPosX: lightImage.x / root.width
        // property real globalLightPosY: lightImage.y / root.height

        // Normal-mapped cover shared among delegates
        // ShaderEffectSource {
        //     id: coverNmapSource
        //     sourceItem: Image { source: "images/cover_nmap.png" }
        //     hideSource: true
        //     visible: false
        // }

        anchors.fill: parent
        // spacing: -60
        model: slidesModel
        delegate: SlideItem {
            name: model.name
        }
        highlightFollowsCurrentItem: true
        highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
        highlightMoveDuration: 400
        // preferredHighlightBegin: root.height * 0.5 - 140
        // preferredHighlightEnd: root.height * 0.5 - 140
        cacheBuffer: 4000
    }@

Thats correct right?
I do not understand the use of isCurrentItem in my case.

---- EDIT----
Hey! It works when I changed to listView.incrementCurrentIndex()
But it jumps to a item that it's not the next one.

Hi again!

I notice that the next item when the interval ends, it's the fifth element item. How can I correct this? It's very strange because I'm using incrementCurrentIndex() method.
