XML Cannot read property 'title' of undefined

[t333o]

Hello,
i am trying to read a xml doc, but i allways get "TypeError: Cannot read property 'title' of undefined"

The XML doc look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<channel>

 <item>
   <title>Spot1</title>
 </item>
 <item>
   <title>Spot2</title>
 </item>
</channel>

</rss>

this the relevant part of my qml file:

 XmlListModel {
        id: spotlightxml
        source: "http://example.de/spotlight.xml"
        query: "/rss/channel/item"

        XmlRole { name: "title"; query: "title/string()" }
    }
Text {
        id: text2
        x: 7
        y: 39
        text: spotlightxml.get(1).title
        font.pixelSize: 12
    }

What can I do to fix it? Thanks in advance :)

When I visit your link (http://example.de/spotlight.xml) it's empty, maybe the error comes from this. Otherwise you pretty copied the example from the documentation, and nothing seems wrong, for what I've seen.

@ValentinMichelet Thanks for your answer;)
I changed the XML Source only for the forum to example.com/spotlight.xml. I also get xml.status.ready......so i really dont know. Should i use some namespaceDeclarations? -> i know nothing about it XD

OK, I found it.

You are trying to access data from a model. To do this, the best option is to use a view:

XmlListModel {
  id: spotlightxml;
  source: "http://example.de/spotlight.xml";
  query: "/rss/channel/item";

  XmlRole {
    name: "title";
    query: "title/string()";
  }
}

ListView {
    width: 180;
    height: 300;
    model: spotlightxml;
    delegate: Text {
      text: title;
   }
}

The view is connected to the model and some internal mechanisms determine when data are ready to be read. If you really don't want to use a view, here is a trick I found on http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.qml/510

XmlListModel {
  id: spotlightxml;
  source: "http://example.de/spotlight.xml";
  query: "/rss/channel/item";

  XmlRole {
    name: "title";
    query: "title/string()";
  }

  onStatusChanged: {
    if (status == XmlListModel.Ready) {
      // Displays data when model is ready
      titleText.text = get(1).title;
    }
  }
}

Text {
  id: titleText
  x: 7
  y: 39
  font.pixelSize: 12
}
