Has anyone been successful in using an ArrayDataModel with their ListViews? In particular I need to store a QObject-derived object for each ListItem. I have this working with GroupDataModel, but ArrayDataModel is proving problematic.

ArrayDataModel *model = new ArrayDataModel();

QObject *myobj = .... pointer to my object ....

QVariant var = QVariant::fromValue<void *>((void *)myobj);
model->append(var);

My ListView appears to have items in it, but they are all blank. I've also tried deriving my own class from ArrayDataModel, overriding the itemType() member and returning "item" - to ensure that the itemtype matches up with what I have defined for my ListView, but the entries in the list are always blank.

try something like:
QVariant variant = qVariantFromValue((QObject*)obj);

I switched to using QListDataModel and managed to get this working:

class UnsortedDataModel : public QListDataModel<QObject *>
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
   UnsortedDataModel() : QListDataModel()
  {
  }

  ~UnsortedDataModel()
  {
  }

  QString itemType(const QVariantList &indexPath)

  {

     return "item";

  }
};
