Hi! While working on a pet project[1] for the Phone, an issue that I faced was stuttering scrolling in listviews. QML tips page[2] suggested to use Flickable+Column+Repeater combination to have smooth scrolling, that worked and is currently what I have implemented in my app but I always thought that was not the perfect solution.
With some knowledge of how Android ListView works and its mechanism of recycling ListView items, I wrote a hack[3] to achieve something similar in QML. What I am doing is: - Create elements visible on screen at single instance + 2 - Set contentHeight to number of elements*each element height - On flick upwards, when an element goes offscreen, set its Y property to the bottom of the list. - Not handled the down flick case just yet. So with only a few elements created, we can reuse same elements but with different data. I am not sure if there already exists some standard component for that or not. If not, then this idea is open for discussions and I would like to contribute it as a standard component once we figure out all the details and agree on them. Thanks!
