how to load a new screen in QML showing a new list based on previous user click input? - qt

Question

In my application i show a nested list, that shows groups and folders as its children. I have built the functions necesary to generate a new list in the backend in c++ based on which item is clicked by the user.
I allready have the necesary functionality to pass the list to qml through QProperty.
so my question is, how do i previous listviews and show new ones dynamically. Considering it should also be possible to click the button "back", which should load the previous page again showing the groups and the folders.
this is the code i have now, showing the groups and its children(folders)
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
//import ListMode 1.0
Rectangle {
height: 250
width: 140
color: "pink"
//property var aNum: 0
Component {
id: folderDelegate
Item {
width: 140
height: col2.childrenRect.height
Column {
id: col2
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
Rectangle {
height: 20
width: parent.width
border.color: "black"
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: treemodel.getObject(model.ID + ":" + model.Name)
}
Text {
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
id: name1
text: model.Name
}
}
}
}
}
ListView {
id: outer
model: myModel
delegate: groupsDelegate
anchors.fill: parent
}
Component {
id: groupsDelegate
Item {
width: 140
height: col.childrenRect.height
Column {
id: col
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
Text {
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
id: t1
font.bold: true
font.underline: true
font.pointSize: 9
text: model.Name
}
ListView {
id: folderlist
model: treemodel.lists[treemodel.modIndex]
delegate: folderDelegate
contentHeight: contentItem.childrenRect.height
height: childrenRect.height
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
clip: true
}
}
}
}
}
i have been reading documentations and searching forums, but the information is pretty overwhelming. So a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.

Answer 1

the main model is setup for each item to have its own unique ID. So when an item is clicked, i run a function that grabs and stores the item based on the ID + name that was clicked
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked :{
treemodel.getObject(model.ID + ":" + model.Name)
stackView.push(Qt.resolvedUrl("content/ButtonPage.qml"))
}
}
next, based on the item that was clicked i have functions that fill different QList items which are loaded into the ButtonPage.qml.
the function in c++ that is invoked is:
Q_INVOKABLE void getObject(QString index) {
clickedItemID = index;
getClickedItem();
getFilesByFolder();
}
now, i am not sure if this is a good solution. But for me it works. Maybe it will work for someone else too.
