    Are you sure you're calling dataChanged() with the correct values?

        @Christian-Ehrlicher I pass two QModelIndex objects, one initiated to the top left row and column of my change and one initiated to its bottom right. Via debugger, I can see that the values make sense. For example:

        My model has 4 columns (fixed, doesn't change). If I append a new row and my model previously had 2 rows, What I see is:

        topLeft -> 2, 0
        bottomRight -> 2, 3

            And is the parent correct?

              @Christian-Ehrlicher my model is created once upon startup in main.cpp. I create it with my QGuiApplication as the parent. My ListView is also a child of this QGuiApplication. Is this the wrong way to do it?

                The QModelndex you're passing to dataChanged() need a proper parent index: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/model-view-programming.html#parents-of-items

                  @ivarec said in ListView won't get updated when I change data in my custom model:

                  My ListView is also a child of this QGuiApplication.

                  This is unrelated but probably bad

                    @VRonin Maybe I've expressed myself badly, since I'm still a newbie in Qt. The ListView is created via QML. It's as basic as:

                    ListView {
                      id: list
                      model: myModel
                    }
                    

                    Maybe, when done like that, the parent of the ListView is not the application itself, which must be why you were surprised.

                      Can we finally see where and how you emit dataChanged()? And with which indexes?
