"QML XmlListModel" how to point a local xml file for "source" property？

[useryy2]

Usually, we say

    XmlListModel {
        id: aModel
        source: "content/source.xml"
        query: "/rss/channel/item"

        XmlRole { name: "title"; query: "title/string()" }
        XmlRole { name: "link"; query: "link/string()" }
    }

        ListView {
            id: list
            width: parent.width; height: window.height
            model: aModel
            delegate: Text {
                text: "title is: " + title;
            }
        }

I've got the XmlListModel status 1 (ready), but there is nothing on screen. Why?

can you show your xml file or sample of that ??

Hi gaba88,

The xml file is as following. Also I've uploaded the whole project here

=========================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<item>
<title>A blog post</title>
<pubDate>Sat, 07 Sep 2010 10:00:01 GMT</pubDate>
</item>
<item>
<title>Another blog post</title>
<pubDate>Sat, 07 Sep 2010 15:35:01 GMT</pubDate>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

I've found something, here are 2 sources, source3 is OK. source4 is Not ok. But I can't tell the difference.

Hi,

I've tried the exact same example, but I can't get it to work. The screen is blank and I don't see any elements. I also tried downloading your project, but it didn't work for me either. The 2 sources you told about had at least one difference: in source3 there is no space before the xml tag but in source 4 there is. Anyway, neither worked for me. Do you have any ideas how to get it to work?

Best regards,

Sebastian

Hi SBockelman,
Have you really tried my project. At least "XmlListModel test" should be displayed instead of "blank screen".

If you do do it, pls check the "application output" at the bottom of Qt Creator for other errors.

Further information is needed for suggestion.

Hi,

I found the same example somewhere else before and didn't get it to work, then I found your post with the exact same problem. I tried your code before and didn't get it to work. However now when I tried it I got it to work!
I switched source3.xml to the place where the source.xml was and renamed it to source.xml. Then when I run it, it showed me "XmlListModel test" and application output was "other status: 2
status: ready" but I couldn't see any of the content from the XML.
Then I modified the QML a bit (I'm new to QML..) so I had this:

    Rectangle{
        anchors.fill: parent
        /*
        Text{
            id:txt
            anchors.top: parent.top
            text: "XmlListModel test"
        }
        */
        ListView{
            id: viewer
            //anchors.top: txt.bottom
            anchors.fill: parent
            model: modeler
            delegate: Text{ text: "title is " + title}
        }
    }

After that I could see the content from the XML-file.

Before whern I tried your example I guess the QML just caused that I couldn't see anything.
A few days ago I just put the XML on a server instead when I couldn't get it to work locally, but it's nice this solved the real problem instead of just avoiding the symptoms!
It makes it easier to debug stuff when one doesn't have to put the XML on the server every time.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Sebastian
