QML ListView grows up

[missdeer]

Hi,
I'm using QML ListView to display data which is provided by QAbstractListModel instance with C++, if I insert new items to the front of list, all displayed old list items would be pushed down, so user's operation will be interrupted. Is it possible that list view DO NOT scroll automatically when new items are inserted?

Do you want to insert the element at first position in the list? If yes then you can call QML ListModel insert method from your C++ code, or can make a java script function that will insert the items into the list model and can call that function from qt/C++

I can insert elements, my problem is after inserting operation, all old list items displayed on the screen before would be pushed down and new inserted items are displayed on the screen, is there a way to prevent this pushing down action, just displaying those old items and keeping the new inserted items out of the screen ( top of list view)?

you may try http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot...AtIndex-method positionViewAtIndex giving the index you want to see on top

Hi,
I have tried positionViewAtIndex, but there are some problems:
1, the model is changed in C++ side, but QML side does not know which item index should be set position view at.
2, positionViewAtIndex method would cause list view scrolling quickly in a short time ( flickering ), that's not good user experience.
3, after positionViewAtIndex method being called, those old list items almost can be displayed again, but they are not at exact positions they were before.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

1 / you could use the onAdd signal in the listview
2 / may be incrementCurrentIndex would be better, since it may show the item added, and then scroll down
3 / I don't understand that point. do you mean that items are not in the same order ?

I have the same problem. The issue is to keep current list position when inserting new items. For example QML ListView should not scroll down automatically when I prepend some elements to its head.
