QML ListView Header and Footer Items?

Question

I'd like to access the header and footer items in a QML ListView in a manner similar to calling currentItem to get the current delegate instance, but I can't figure out how. I'd appreciate any advice.

Solution

You should assign header/footer items to some external reference as below:

Window {
  property Item listHeaderItem: null
  Component {
    id: listHeaderComponent
    Item {
      id: headerItem
      width: listView.width; height: 0
      Component.onCompleted: rootWindow.listHeaderItem = headerItem
    }
  }
  ListView {
    header: listHeaderComponent
  }}
