QML : need help so solve a warning
-
Hi!
I'm contributing to the app Mines to learn QML.
I add a timer and a mine counter to tell how many mine left in the minefield.
It's promising, but I have a warning when I launch the app after compiling.
It's about an item Grid inside an item Rectangle (QML speaking).
Here the code :Grid { id: statBar width: parent.width height: units.gu(20) anchors { bottom: parent.bottom } //anchors.fill: parent horizontalItemAlignment: Grid.AlignHCenter verticalItemAlignment: Grid.AlignVCenter columns: 2 Rectangle { id: time_elapsed_rectangle height: parent.height width: parent.width/2 anchors { left: parent.left verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter } Row { anchors { horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter } Image { id: time_icon anchors { verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter margins: units.gu(2) } source: "../assets/time.svg" } Rectangle{ width: units.gu(8) height: parent.height anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter Item { Component.onCompleted: reset_timer() Timer { id: timer interval: 500; running: false; repeat: true onTriggered: time.text = minefield.update_time_elapsed() } } Text { id: time anchors { verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter } } } } } Rectangle { height: parent.height anchors { right: parent.right left: time_elapsed_rectangle.right verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter } Row { anchors { horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter } Image { id: mine_icon anchors { verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter margins: units.gu(2) } source: "../assets/mine.svg" } Rectangle{ width: units.gu(8) height: parent.height anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter Text { anchors { verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter } text: minefield.n_flags + "/" + minefield.n_mines } } } } }And here my warning :
file:///home/ellypsis/dev/linux_phone/ut_app/Mines/build/tmp/qml/Main.qml:210:13: QML Grid: Cannot specify anchors for items inside Grid. Grid will not function.
But in fact, the code functions pretty well. But it's not a reason to let a warning in the code.
Any idea?You can find the entire code here : Github - ellypsis/Mines

I did a work around. I replaced my Grid layout to a rectangle layout.
Maybe it's a bit dirty, but it works fine.
New code here : https://github.com/ellypsis/Mines/tree/timer%26mine_counter -
you can't specify
anchorsfor items directly inside theGrid. in your case theRectangletime_elapsed_rectanglehasanchorsbut you have to delete them -
@mymike Thanks! I will keep that in mind for future application
