Use Section Delegate as Footer of Each Section Instead of Header in QML ListView

[Clover]

The example on this page uses section delegate as header: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-listview.html#section.property-prop

Are there any methods to use section delegate as footer of each section instead? Can't find it in the document.

No, there aren't any methods for that.

You could hack it like so :

ListView {
    anchors.fill: parent
    model: ListModel {
        ListElement { name: "Arthur" }
        ListElement { name: "Arlette" }
        ListElement { name: "Bonnie" }
        ListElement { name: "Bernadette" }
        ListElement { name: "Clothilde" }
        ListElement { name: "Charles" }
        ListElement { name: "Clyde" }
        ListElement { name: "Dodo" }
    }
    section {
        property: "name"
        criteria: ViewSection.FirstCharacter
    }
    delegate: Column {
        width: parent.width
        id: column
        ItemDelegate {
            width: parent.width
            text: model.name
        }
        Label {
            visible: column.ListView.section !== column.ListView.nextSection
            text: column.ListView.section
        }
    }
}

Embed the section in each delegate and display it when the section differs from the next one.

@GrecKo Thank you! I am using a similar hack now.
