Store XML data in a String Array using ListView

[Bongani]

I have and xml string.

<Output>
     <user>
     <name>Allan</name>
     <surname>Smith</surname>
     <age>64<age>
  </user>
  <user>
     <name>Bradley</name>
     <surname>Carrel</surname>
     <age>58<age>
  </user>
  <user>
     <name>Sam</name>
     <surname>Johnson</surname>
     <age>24<age>
  </user>
</Output>

I want to store the xml data inside three String arrays, eg names[], surnames[], ages[].

I am using QML's list view to read the xml data :

    ListView{
        anchors.fill: parent
        id: schemelist

        model: XmlListModel{
            id: xmlListModel
            query: "/Output/user"
            XmlRole{
                name : "name" ;
                query: "name/string()";
            }
            XmlRole{
                name : "surname" ;
                query: "surname/string()";
            }
            XmlRole{
                name : "age" ;
                query: "age/string()";
            }
        }

        delegate:Item {
                 //I need to find the way to push the values into the arrays as the are processed
                //eg
                function storedata(){
                       names.push(name);
                       surnames.push(surname);
                       ages.push(ages)
               }
            }
    }

I need to store the data read from the xml to my arrays as it's processed from the ListView. Please help.

Check XmlListModel

[Bongani]

@VRonin i did check that hance i used it, the problem is delegating the Xmllist model to a function that will store the string data as its being processed.

[Bongani]

eg.

    ListView{
        anchors.fill: parent
        id: schemelist

        model: XmlListModel{
            id: xmlListModel
            query: "/GetQuote_pinnafrica_Output/Get_Quote_Response"
            XmlRole{
                name : "Scheme_Code" ;
                query: "Scheme_Code/string()";
            }
            XmlRole{
                name : "Scheme_Desciption" ;
                query: "Scheme_Description/string()";
            }
            XmlRole{
                name : "Gross_Premium" ;
                query: "Gross_Premium/string()";
            }
            XmlRole{
                name : "Premium_Type" ;
                query: "Premium_Type/string()";
            }
            XmlRole{
                name : "Quote_Number" ;
                query: "Quote_Number/string()";
            }

        }

        delegate:Item {
                   function storevalues(){
                           names.push(names)
                           surnames.push(surname)
                           ages.push(age)
                 }
            }
    }

Personally I'd do this in C++ but if you want to stick to declarative check the add() signal

[Bongani]

Thanks for the reply @VRonin . I decide to take your advice on using c++ to do all the array work.

i created a object class

MainObject.h

#ifndef MAINOBJECT_H
#define MAINOBJECT_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QDebug>

class MainObject : public QObject{
   Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit MainObject (QObject* parent = 0) : QObject(parent) {}
    Q_INVOKABLE void addvalues(QString name,QString surname,QString age)
    {
        qDebug() << "name      : " << name;
        qDebug() << "surname   : " << surname;
        qDebug() << "age       : " << age;
    }
};

#endif // MAINOBJECT_H

Registered it in my main.cpp file

qmlRegisterType<MainObject>("com.mycode", 1, 0, "MainObject");

And called it in my .qml file

import com.mycode 1.0
.
.
.
.

MainObject.addvalues(name,surname,age);

but now i am getting this error :

qrc:/test.qml:69: TypeError: Property 'addvalues' of object [object Object] is not a function

Is there something i am missing, Please help

[VRonin]

I actually meant implementing the model as QAbstractItemModel in C++ and use it instead of the XmlListModel.
