This issue can leave many puzzled, especially when the data seems to be accessible in one view, but not the other. In this guide, we'll break down the problem and guide you through the solution. We'll discuss potential pitfalls in your QAbstractListModel implementation that could be causing this issue. Initial Code Overview Let’s take a look at a simplified version of the code implementation shared: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] In this code, the model is set as follows: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Identifying the Issue The problem arises because QListView requires a specific format for the data it displays. When you override the data(QModelIndex index, int role) method, it's critical to ensure that the method returns data in the expected format, typically a QVariant. Common Mistake In the provided data() method, you're returning a Foo object directly instead of a QVariant. This can lead to confusion as QListView may not know how to convert the Foo object into a string for display. Correcting the Implementation To resolve this issue, you should modify the data() method to properly return a QVariant. Here’s what you can do: Return a QVariant: Ensure that objects are wrapped in a QVariant. For instance, if your Foo class has a toString() method or a specific property you want to display, adjust your code accordingly.

Utilize QListWidget: If you're only implementing a single view and need a simple list display, QListWidget can simplify your implementation. Conclusion Understanding how QListView interacts with QAbstractListModel is crucial for displaying data correctly in Qt Jambi applications. By ensuring that your data() method returns a QVariant, you can resolve display issues effectively. Moreover, considering alternative models can save time and effort while still providing the functionality you need.
