Multiple Marker with different Images as Icons in QML Map Widget


What do I want ? I have a widget in QML which displays a map with OSM plugin. On this map whenever I click I want to place a marker. If I click on another position a new marker should be added. In the top I have a Tabbar. Depending on which Button (currentIndex) a different type of Image/Marker Icon should be displayed with the click on the map (currently for test reasons on the first tab blue rectangles on the second red circles). And all markers should stay visible on the map.

Current Code:

import QtPositioning 5.11
import QtLocation 5.11
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4

Rectangle {

.getCoordinates is a Signal to a Python backend.

I tried to realise the above desired functionality in the MouseArea.onClicked event. However in the current implementation only the switching of the marker icons work but only the latest marker remains.

Moving the loader definition to the MapQuickItem.sourceItem definition results in the following. The markers remain but changing the tab index switches the icon for all marker new and old.

What am I doing wrong and how can I achieve the desired functionality ? Moreover do i have a misconception on the interactions ?


Solution

  • You should create a new component for each delegate(MapQuickItem), instead of reusing a single instance(the mloader.item).

    So do like this, removing the mloader and the "marker_source" role.

    ...
    Rectangle {
        ...
        Map {
            ...
            MapItemView {
                model: markermodel
                delegate: MapQuickItem {
                    id: marker
                    coordinate: model.position_marker
                    sourceItem: Loader {
                        sourceComponent: [idRect, idCircle][model.type]                    
                    }
                }
            }
    
            MouseArea
            {
                ...
                onClicked: {
                    var coord = map.toCoordinate(Qt.point(mouse.x, mouse.y));
                    markermodel.append({"position_marker": coord, "type": bar.currentIndex})
                    ...
                }
            }
        }
        ...
    }
    ...
