Qt5 : Get value of item clicked in a listview - c++

Question

I'm making a Qt5.7 application where I am populating a QListView after reading stuff from a file. Here's the exact code of it.
QStringListModel *model;
model = new QStringListModel(this);
model->setStringList(stringList); //stringList has a list of strings
ui->listView->setModel(model);
ui->listView->setEditTriggers(QAbstractItemView::NoEditTriggers); //To disable editing
Now this displays the list just fine in a QListView that I have set up. What I need to do now is to get the string that has been double clicked and use that value elsewhere. How do I achieve that?
What I tried doing was to attach a listener to the QListView this way
... // the rest of the code
connect(ui->listView, SIGNAL(doubleClicked(QModelIndex)), this, SLOT(fetch()));
...
And then I have the function fetch
void Window::fetch () {
qDebug() << "Something was clicked!";
QObject *s = sender();
qDebug() << s->objectName();
}
However the objectName() function returns "listView" and not the listView item or the index.

Answer 1

The signal already provides you with a QModelIndex which was clicked.
So you should change your slot to this:
void Window::fetch (QModelIndex index)
{
....
QModelIndex has now a column and a row property. Because a list has no columns you are interessted in the row. This is the index of the item clicked.
//get model and cast to QStringListModel
QStringListModel* listModel= qobject_cast<QStringListModel*>(ui->listView->model());
//get value at row()
QString value = listModel->stringList().at(index.row());

Answer 2

You should add the index as parameter of your slot. You can use that index to access the list
Your code should be some thing like this.
void Window::fetch (QModelIndex index) {
/* Do some thing you want to do*/
}
