tl;dr:How can I use a list of strings defined in ECL as a ListView model
in QML in Qt 5.6?
===
So I'm really not familiar with Qt, but since it is the GUI toolkit for
Sailfish phones I have to use it.
I'm trying to make a list of strings in ECL available as model to a
ListView which has been defined in QML. I've been looking at examples,
specifically this one:
https://gitlab.com/eql/EQL5/-/blob/master/examples/M-modules/quick/item-model/list-model.lisp
but I cannot use it directly because of some constraints in my
environment and I also cannot wrap my head about how to solve it.
This is the ListView in QML:
SilicaListView {
anchors.fill: parent
//model: ListModel { id: listModel }
model: 100
header: PageHeader { title: "Messages" }
delegate: BackgroundItem {
id: delegate
Label {
text: "Item " + index
}
onClicked: console.log("Clicked " + index)
}
...
And this is what I have in Lisp so far:
;;; Model
;;;
;;;
https://gitlab.com/eql/EQL5/-/blob/master/examples/M-modules/quick/item-model/list-model.lisp
(defun set-my-model ()
(qlet ((data (qvariant-from-value *pushover-messages*
"QStringList")))
(|setContextProperty| (|rootContext| qml:*quick-view*) "myModel"
data)))
Taken straight from the example. However, I'm not sure what to do with
the `qml:*quick-view*`
The problem is my constraints:
- I cannot start Qt from Lisp like in the example. There's a C++
initializer which start s up all the Sailfish OS stuff and EQL. So far
I'm doing `Lisp.call`s from QML which works well enough. (Also see
Renaud's template which I based all this on:
https://redmine.casenave.fr/projects/eql5-sfos/repository/44/revisions/master/entry/src/eql5-sfos.cc
)
- Sailfish OS only supports Qt 5.6
Thanks,
Erik
