Qt QML data model doesn't seem to work with C+

问题:

I've been working with the examples in http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7/qdeclarativemodels.html which is the Qt page on QML declarative data models. In particular, I'm working with the objectlistmodel example that comes with the Qt SDK (in examples/declarative/modelviews/objectlistmodel). It all seems to work reasonably well, until I try to combine it with the QMLPageControl example at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/How_to_create_a_Page_Control_component_in_QML.

When I try to display a QML-based ListModel (populated with QML ListElements) with a QML ListView like this:

import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
   width: 200; height: 200

   ListModel {
       id: qmlModel
       ListElement { name: "qml entry1 (red)"; colour: "red" }
       ListElement { name: "qml entry2 (orange)"; colour: "orange" }
       ListElement { name: "qml entry3 (yellow)"; colour: "yellow" }
       ListElement { name: "qml entry4 (green)"; colour: "green" }
       ListElement { name: "qml entry5 (blue)"; colour: "blue" }
       ListElement { name: "qml entry6 (purple)"; colour: "purple" }
   }


   ListView {

       id: list_view

       anchors.fill: parent
       model: qmlModel
       delegate: Rectangle {
           height: 20
           width: 200
           color: colour
           Text { text: name }

       }
    }
}

...everything works quite nicely. This works entirely as expected - a window pops up with some text across colored backgrounds in bands.

Then, I can do something a bit more complicated, like use a PathView:

import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 200; height: 200

    ListModel {
        id: qmlModel
        ListElement { name: "qml entry1 (red)"; colour: "red" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry2 (orange)"; colour: "orange" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry3 (yellow)"; colour: "yellow" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry4 (green)"; colour: "green" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry5 (blue)"; colour: "blue" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry6 (purple)"; colour: "purple" }
    }


    //       ListView {
    //           id: list_view
    //           anchors.fill: parent
    //           model: qmlModel
    //           delegate: Rectangle {
    //               height: 20
    //               width: 200
    //               color: colour
    //               Text { text: name }
    //           }
    //       }

    PathView {
        id: my_path_view

        anchors.fill: parent

        Keys.onRightPressed: if (!moving && interactive) incrementCurrentIndex()
        Keys.onLeftPressed: if (!moving && interactive) decrementCurrentIndex()

        flickDeceleration: 500

        preferredHighlightBegin: 0.5
        preferredHighlightEnd: 0.5
        focus: true
        interactive: true
        model: qmlModel

        delegate: Rectangle {
            width: 100
            height: 100
            color: colour
            Text {
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                text: name
            }
        }


        path: Path {
            startX: - my_path_view.width * my_path_view.model.count / 2 + my_path_view.width / 2
            startY: my_path_view.height / 2
            PathLine {
                x: my_path_view.width * my_path_view.model.count / 2 + my_path_view.width / 2
                y: my_path_view.height / 2
            }
        }
    }
}

Again, this all works as expected - a window pops up with a flickable, dragable list of colored boxes.

Backing up, I can then define a data object in C++ like this:

dataobject.h

#ifndef DATAOBJECT_H
#define DATAOBJECT_H

#include <QObject>

class DataObject : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

    Q_PROPERTY( QString name READ name WRITE setName NOTIFY nameChanged )
    Q_PROPERTY( QString colour READ colour WRITE setColour NOTIFY colourChanged )


public:
    DataObject( QObject * parent = 0 );
    DataObject( const QString &_name, const QString &_color, QObject * parent=0 );

    QString name() const;
    void setName(const QString &);

    QString colour() const;
    void setColour(const QString &);

signals:
    void nameChanged();
    void colourChanged();


private:
    QString m_name;
    QString m_colour;
};


#endif // DATAOBJECT_H

dataobject.cpp

#include "dataobject.h"
#include <QDebug>

DataObject::DataObject( QObject * parent )
    : QObject( parent )
{
    qDebug() << "DataObject::DataObject() has been called.\n";

}

DataObject::DataObject( const QString &_name, const QString &_colour, QObject * parent )
    : QObject( parent )
    , m_name( _name )
    , m_colour( _colour )
{
    qDebug() << "DataObject::DataObject(name, color) has been called.\n";

}


QString DataObject::name() const {
    qDebug() << "name() has been called.\n";
    return m_name;
}

void DataObject::setName(const QString &name) {
    qDebug() << "setName has been called.\n";
    if ( name != m_name ) {
        m_name = name;
        emit nameChanged();
    }
}

QString DataObject::colour() const {
    qDebug() << "colour() has been called.\n";
    return m_colour;
}

void DataObject::setColour(const QString &colour) {
    qDebug() << "setColour has been called.\n";
    if ( colour != m_colour ) {
        m_colour = colour;
        emit colourChanged();
    }
}

And then I add it to the QML context:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDialog>
#include <QDeclarativeView>
#include <QDeclarativeContext>
#include <QLayout>
#include <QDir>
#include "qmlapplicationviewer.h"
#include "dataobject.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QList<QObject*> dataList;
    dataList.append( new DataObject( "c++ entry1 (red)", "red" ) );
    dataList.append( new DataObject( "c++ entry2 (orange)", "orange" ) );
    dataList.append( new DataObject( "c++ entry3 (yellow)", "yellow" ) );
    dataList.append( new DataObject( "c++ entry4 (green)", "green" ) );
    dataList.append( new DataObject( "c++ entry5 (blue)", "blue" ) );
    dataList.append( new DataObject( "c++ entry6 (purple)", "purple" ) );

    QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
    viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty( "cppModel", QVariant::fromValue(dataList) );
    viewer.setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationAuto);
#if defined( Q_OS_MAC )
    viewer.setMainQmlFile("../Resources/qml/main.qml");
#elif defined( Q_OS_WIN32 )
    viewer.setMainQmlFile("qml/main.qml");
#else
#error - unknown platform
#endif
    viewer.showExpanded();

    return app.exec();
}

And finally, in the QML, I add this C++ model to the ListView:

import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 200; height: 200

    ListModel {
        id: qmlModel
        ListElement { name: "qml entry1 (red)"; colour: "red" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry2 (orange)"; colour: "orange" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry3 (yellow)"; colour: "yellow" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry4 (green)"; colour: "green" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry5 (blue)"; colour: "blue" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry6 (purple)"; colour: "purple" }
    }


           ListView {

               id: list_view

               anchors.fill: parent
               //model: qmlModel
               model: cppModel
               delegate: Rectangle {
                   height: 20
                   width: 200
                   color: colour
                   Text { text: name }

               }
           }

}

Once again, this works just fine - a dialog with text against colored backgrounds arranged in bands appears. Displaying a ListView backed by a C++ model seems to work every bit as well as displaying a ListView backed by a QML ListModel.

What I'd like to get working is a C++ model backing a PathView like this:

import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 200; height: 200

    ListModel {
        id: qmlModel
        ListElement { name: "qml entry1 (red)"; colour: "red" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry2 (orange)"; colour: "orange" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry3 (yellow)"; colour: "yellow" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry4 (green)"; colour: "green" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry5 (blue)"; colour: "blue" }
        ListElement { name: "qml entry6 (purple)"; colour: "purple" }
    }


//    ListView {

//       id: list_view

//       anchors.fill: parent
//       model: qmlModel
//       //model: cppModel
//       delegate: Rectangle {
//           height: 20
//           width: 200
//           color: colour
//           Text { text: name }

//       }
//    }

    PathView {
        id: my_path_view

        anchors.fill: parent

        Keys.onRightPressed: if (!moving && interactive) incrementCurrentIndex()
        Keys.onLeftPressed: if (!moving && interactive) decrementCurrentIndex()

        flickDeceleration: 500

        preferredHighlightBegin: 0.5
        preferredHighlightEnd: 0.5
        focus: true
        interactive: true
        //model: qmlModel
        model: cppModel

        delegate: Rectangle {
            width: 100
            height: 100
            color: colour
            Text {
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                text: name
            }
        }


        path: Path {
            startX: - my_path_view.width * my_path_view.model.count / 2 + my_path_view.width / 2
            startY: my_path_view.height / 2
            PathLine {
                x: my_path_view.width * my_path_view.model.count / 2 + my_path_view.width / 2
                y: my_path_view.height / 2
            }
        }
    }
}

This DOESN'T work. What I see is the colored rectangles, but they can't be interacted with with the mouse and they aren't centered in the qmlviewer dialog.

And on the debug console I see this:

QDeclarativeDebugServer: Waiting for connection on port 3768...

It seems like a QList has a basic shape that's close enough to a QML ListModel/ListItem collection for a ListView to display, but not close enough for a PathView to display.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong? Unfortunately the QML class documentation isn't really put together with the goal of writing conformant C++ stand-ins. For example, the PathView object documentation at http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-pathview.html doesn't say what properties its model needs to support. Moreover, the ListModel documentation isn't definitive - it doesn't state exactly what properties the ListModel supports and there's no clear documentation on how precisely a QList satisfies those requirements and how it doesn't.

UPDATE: I've tried this with Qt 5 on Windows, and I'm still having the same problem.

回答1:

It turns out that there's a very simple reason that the count property of the cppModel isn't available - it's because neither QAbstractListModel nor QList<> have a count property!

I had assumed that the fact that a ListModel could be substituted with a C++-based object like a QList<> meant that they were polymorphic and that a ListView or PathView would use a count property to correctly handle them.

First, neither QAbstractListModel nor QList<> are polymorphic with a ListModel. It turns out that they're all just special-cased - a ListView knows whether it has a ListModel or a QList<> or a QAbstractListModel and has separate code paths for using each. The ListView doesn't need the nonexistent count property to manage a QList<> or a QAbstractListModel. In fact, it isn't clear to me that ListView and PathView even use ListModel's count property. The count property seems to be mostly for the QML programmer's benefit. In my example, I was using the count property to build a Path object in the PathView. My example works perfectly if I use a length property instead because QList<> DOES have a length property.
