ListView - insert item above existing one -> DO NOT move/push down the existing/clicked one

Szymon

Hi gurus!
So there is a pretty QML ListView with e.g. 10 items. Let's say, 5 of them are visible. Now I click on the last visible item(index=4) in this list and by doing this, a brand new item will be inserted above(just before) the clicked one. I would like my 5th item (that I just clicked) NOT TO MOVE down, but stay VISIBLE. List should move one item up. See the desired behaviour on the sketch attached.
Any ideas how to achieve that?

thanks+cheers

either use

ListView {
    preferredHighlightBegin: ...
    preferredHighlightEnd: ...
    highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
}

to manually scroll to a position.

Or use ListView.positionViewAtIndex() method to ensure that a index is visible in the view.

Yes, thak you! Once I posted the message the solution with:

positionViewAtIndex(index+1, ListView.Visible);

just came up to me like a flash. I knew this method and used it in the past successfully already. But somehow couln't see wood for the trees ;)
However the highlight method - this I will have to try out either.

PS. the index has to be set dynamically of course. This "+1" is only an example...
