Refresh QML Listview from Slot - c++

Question

I have problem with the refreshing Listview in QML I looked through many solutions but there is nothing concrete i want from event "onClicked" refresh all listview but how to do this?

QList<QObject*> dataList;
dataList.append(new DataObject("1"));
dataList.append(new DataObject("2"));
dataList.append(new DataObject("3"));
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
Message msg;
msg.setListInstance(&dataList);
auto root_context = engine.rootContext();
root_context->setContextProperty("message",&msg);
//root_context->setContextProperty("myModel", QVariant::fromValue(dataList));
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
QQmlContext *ctxt = new QQmlContext(engine.rootContext());
//ctxt->setContextProperty("myModel", QVariant::fromValue(dataList));
return app.exec();
}

Two things to do:
Message has to modify the model, therefore Message needs the instance of the model.
When model is changed, emits signal to QML so QML can reload data.
Assume that your Message class is responsible for the model. First, pass the model to Message.
class Message : public QObject {
//...
private:
QList<QObject *> *list;
public:
void setListInstance(QList<QObject *> *dataList){ list = dataList; }
}
//main.cpp
msg.setListInstance(&dataList);
You can easily change the content of model now:
void Message::refreshLista(){ list->append(new DataObject("new")); /*whatever*/}
However, QML won't reload the model because setContextProperty("myModel", QVariant::fromValue(dataList)); cannot emit signals. Remove this line from main.cpp and create a new property in Message instead:
class Message : public QObject {
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QQmlListProperty<QObject> myModel READ getList NOTIFY listChanged)
public:
QQmlListProperty<QObject> getList();
signals:
void listChanged();
}
In the implementation, create a QQmlListProperty and emits property-changed signal when necessary.
void Message::refreshLista(){
list->append(new DataObject("new"));
emit listChanged();
}
QQmlListProperty<QObject> Message::getList(){
return QQmlListProperty<QObject>(this, *list);
}
Finally, the ListView in QML should bind to message.myModel instead of myModel:
ListView {
width: 400; height: 300;
model: message.myModel
//...
}
