StackView - Remove A View Item Without Disturbing Current View

PSI-lbc

I'm using a StackView for screen navigation. Currently a couple views are pushed() onto the stack. Now due to a button push the middle views in the stack should be removed so that when the user pushes the "back" button, unwanted stackview states are skipped.

// remove the "b" view from the stack..back button returns to "a"
// stack should go from [a,b,c] to [a,c]

This works per the documentation, BUT..the catch is the program's current view states variables, animations, etc MUST BE PRESERVED..but aren't.

// sorta works but all current state info, etc is lost for the current "c" view

stackView.clear()
stackView.push( [ {item: Qt.resolvedUrl("qrc:/a.qml" ), properties: { objectName: "" }},
                  {item: Qt.resolvedUrl( "qrc:/c.qml" ), properties: { objectName: "c" }}
                ] );

So I tried this. Saving the current StackView item as a var, then adding it back in after the clear. Doesn't work..blank view.

//did not work..to get the current "c" item in its current state

var theCurentItem = stackView.find( function(item) { return item.name === "c"; } )
stackView.clear()
stackView.push( [ {item: Qt.resolvedUrl("qrc:/a.qml" ), properties: { objectName: "" }},
                  {item: theCurentItem, properties: { objectName: "c" } }
                ] );

Any thoughts or help appreciated...

Not really solved but a work-around is to:

save the state (ie any variable(s) of interest) in the last item on the stackview
clear the stack
push back all items except the one being "removed"
in the Component.onCompleted of the last item, restore the saved state

Ulgy...but works if you only have a few variables that need to be preserved on the last item in the stackview.

I guess another way would be to:

have a "skip me" boolean in each item pushed
evaluate the boolean after a pop
immediately pop again if "true".
