Animate New Items In A Tableview

I'm using a TableView to display the contents of an SQLite database. The user clicks one of the checkable buttons and the right table is read through the LocalStorage API. Thus, th

Solution 1:

Yes, it is possible.

TableView uses ListView as internal object. You can access to it, using property __listView.

With ListView, it is possible to specify transitions that should be applied whenever the items in the view change as a result of modifications to the view's model.

Transition {
    id:populateTransitionNumberAnimation { properties:"y";duration:300 }
}

TableView {
    TableViewColumn {
        role:"title"title:"Title"width:100
    }
    model:libraryModelComponent.onCompleted: {
        this.__listView.populate=populateTransitionthis.__listView.add=populateTransition
    }
}

P.S. this solution relies on modifying an internal object and is not guaranteed to work across different Qt versions or platforms.

Solution 2:

No.

It would be incredibly hacky. I'd imagine it would be something like this (assuming QML only):

1. Find the exact time all row items are instantiated.
2. Somehow find the correct row item by navigating the list of children.

At this point there's a chance that the row items have already been shown at full height, but assuming that wasn't the case, you'd need to then dynamically create a NumberAnimation, for example, and then animate the height change.

You're better off creating your own TableView using ListView, which has support for transitions.
