[solved] Flickable: Items added from C++ not moving

dsmn

Hi,

I am trying to add items from a c++ method to a Flickable component. Everything is working so far, but the newly added items don't move when flicking. Items added via qml behave as expected.
The items from c++ are added statically at the position defined in the code.
When debugging the c++ items appear as children of the qml Flickable.

An excerpt from the code:

@
QQmlComponent event_component(qmlContext(ui_timeline)->engine(), QUrl("qrc:/Event.qml"));

int event_count = model_events->rowCount(QModelIndex());
int timeline_width = (event_count - 1) * window_width + window_width;
ui_timeline->setProperty("contentWidth", timeline_width);

for(int i=0; i<event_count; i++) {
    QQuickItem *event_view = qobject_cast<QQuickItem*>(event_component.create(qmlContext(ui_timeline)));
    event_view->setParentItem(ui_timeline);
    event_view->setX(130*i);
    event_view->setY(window_height/2 - event_view->height()/2 - 16);
}

@

ui_timeline represents the Flickable
event_view the added items from a qml file

Is there anything wrong in the way I'm adding the items to Flickable?

best regards

Hi,

Since you are adding the Items dynamically you should reparent them to Flickable's contentItem.
You can find the Flickable object in C++ using findChild(), then its first child would be the contentItem.
Also contentWidth and contentHeight too should be set.
