QML : How to read a QList from C++

I have a simple need : I have defined a C++ class 

class MyClass: public QDeclarativeItem
{
  Q_OBJECT
  public:
    MyClass(QDeclarativeItem * parent=0);
    ...

  private:
    QList<QString> mList
}

And of course, I've registered it : qmlRegisterType<MyClass>(...)

I want to access in the QML code to my QList<QString> mList. How can I do it?

It annoys me as it looks like a simple problem, but I can't find anything about this. (I can create a Q_INVOKABLE slot, but I can't read the results, etc...)

Edit : QML supported Data Types

Solution

  • I don't think that QList is a supported data type for Qt's QML binding. I've had similar problems interfacing between C++ and JavaScript using the QtWebkit Bridge.

    If possible, try using a QVariantList instead of a QList. Although this is technically a typedef for QList<QVariant> I think it should work.
