Introduction to Qt / QML (Part 29) - ListView Basic Usage

We are now ready to showcase probably the most important component for model/view programming in QML: ListView. As the name says, the ListView is a view for lists – that is, one dimentional sequences.

At first glance, it looks just like a Repeater placed inside a Column element, but ListView is so much more than that. It supports flicking, it creates and destroys elements on demand (to be able to work with very big datasets), and so on. This video introduces ListView and its basic usage.

The example code showcased in this video is available here: https://github.com/KDAB/kdabtv

About the host:
This video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt. Since 2000 he has taught almost 100 Qt classes, ranging from Qt Widgets to QML. Heck, Jesper even taught a few classes on QTopia Core — Trolltech's initial attempt at creating a phone stack. Today Jesper holds a fancy business title, but that doesn't prevent him from coding both in his job and in his spare time.
