Autocomplete and suggesstion in QML textInput element


I have a QML textInput element like this:

TextBox.qml

FocusScope {
    id: focusScope
    property int fontSize: focusScope.height -30
    property int textBoxWidth: parent.width * 0.8
    property int textBoxHeight: 45
    property string placeHolder: 'Type something...'
    property bool isUserInTheMiddleOfEntringText: false
    width: textBoxWidth
    height: textBoxHeight

    Rectangle {
        width: parent.width
        height: parent.height
        border.color:'blue'
        border.width: 3
        radius: 0
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                focusScope.focus = true
                textInput.openSoftwareInputPanel()
            }
        }
    }
    Text {
        id: typeSomething
        anchors.fill: parent; anchors.rightMargin: 8
        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
        text: placeHolder
        color: 'red'
        font.italic: true
        font.pointSize: fontSize
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                focusScope.focus = true
                textInput.openSoftwareInputPanel()
            }
        }

    }

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: {
            focusScope.focus = true
            textInput.openSoftwareInputPanel()
        }
    }

    TextInput {
        id: textInput
        anchors {
            right: parent.right
            rightMargin: 8
            left: clear.right
            leftMargin: 8
            verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
        }
        focus: true
        selectByMouse: true
        font.pointSize: fontSize
    }



    Text {
        id: clear
        text: '\u2717'
        color: 'yellow'
        font.pointSize: 25
        opacity: 0
        visible: readOnlyTextBox ? false : true
        anchors {
            left: parent.left
            leftMargin: 8
            verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
        }
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                textInput.text = ''
                focusScope.focus = true;
                textInput.openSoftwareInputPanel()
            }
        }
    }

    states: State {
        name: 'hasText'; when: textInput.text != ''
        PropertyChanges {
            target: typeSomething
            opacity: 0
        }
        PropertyChanges {
            target: clear
            opacity: 0.5
        }
    }

    transitions: [
        Transition {
            from: ''; to: 'hasText'
            NumberAnimation {
                exclude: typeSomething
                properties: 'opacity'
            }
        },
        Transition {
            from: 'hasText'; to: ''
            NumberAnimation {
                properties: 'opacity'
            }
        }
    ]
}

I want to add autocomplete and suggestions like google search to this text box. Autocomple get data from database and database return a list of dictionaries by a pyside SLOT.(or c++ slot)

How I can do this work?


Solution

  • From version 6.10, you can use the SearchField component :
