How to use QFileDialog or another way for file browsing in QML UI ?

[magpielover]

Hello,
I have got a QML UI running in N900 and in the opening page I want the user browse a working folder. The application will get this directory and use it with Qt/C++.
My question is quite simple. Is there any way to implement a file browsing application which user can use it to jump between folders in QML ?

One option is to integrate my existing QML-UI with a QWidget-based UI, however, I wanna learn if there is any other way to create a file browsing in QML with QFileDialog or something else.


Thanks

The QMLViewer has, IIRC, a file browser feature, implemented I'm sure with the QML ListView Element and the QML FolderListModel Element. Have a look at that piece of code as an example ...

Hello,
I haven't found any piece of code which allows user select a directory nor will return an existing directory selected by the user. I' m trying to send the directory through a signal to Qt but the problem is selecting the directory in QML.
I am seriously stuck here. QML restricts me from creating a file browsing tool. I simply want my application branch to user folders but no luck yet.

Hope somebody has found a solution.

Have you tried the example from http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7-snapsho...listmodel.html ?

I expanded the code snippet a bit and here's a very simple and ugly but functional file browser:

import QtQuick 1.0
import Qt.labs.folderlistmodel 1.0

ListView {
    width: 360
    height: 640
    FolderListModel {
        id: foldermodel
        folder: "file:///c:/"
        nameFilters: ["*.*"]
        showDotAndDotDot: true
    }

    Component {
        id: filedelegate
        Rectangle {
            width: parent.width
            height: 30
            Text {
                text: fileName+" "+filePath
                anchors.fill: parent
                MouseArea {
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    onClicked: {
                        if (foldermodel.isFolder(index)) {
                            foldermodel.folder = filePath
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    model: foldermodel
    delegate: filedelegate
}
