How can I call a pointer of an QObject in a QML File?


I'm developping an application for Blackberry 10 and I'm using the Momentics IDE (BB native SDK).

I get the following error when I try to execute the code below. Any one have an idea how can I fix this ?

Error

    virtual ~xxx() {
    }

    Q_INVOKABLE
    DataHandler* getDataHandler() const;

private:
    DataHandler* m_dataHandler;
}

** xxx.cpp **

xxx::xxx(bb::cascades::Application *app) :
        QObject(app) {
m_dataHandler = new DataHandler();
}

** QML file **

Button {
         id: backBtn
         objectName: "backBtnObject"
         text: qsTr("Back") + Retranslate.onLocaleOrLanguageChanged
         preferredWidth: backBtn.text.length
         visible: false
         onClicked: {
              xxx.dataHandler.displayLicencesList();
         }
 }

Solution

  • You need to register your pointer type like this

    qRegisterMetaType<ClassA*>("ClassA*");
