A Kirigami.ScrollablePage is a page that holds scrollable content, such as a ListView. Scrolling, as well as scrolling indicators, are automatically managed.
In almost every other way, a scrollable page is the same as a normal page.
Warning
Do not put a ScrollView inside of a Kirigami.ScrollablePage; children of a Kirigami.ScrollablePage
are already inside a ScrollView
.
When the direct children of a Kirigami.ScrollablePage extend vertically beyond the size of the page itself, a scrollbar appears at the right edge of the page and the page will be scrollable.
Often you have more than one child in your Kirigami.ScrollablePage, and positioning items can be tricky—especially in combination with a ListView.
For non-visual components, having them inside the ListView component won't change the visuals of the page, so we can move them inside the scope of the list view. Same for elements anchored to the center of the page, such as placeholder messages for empty list views.
For other items, it might make sense to move them to the header or footer of the Kirigami.ScrollablePage. This is often the case for search bars.
It is possible to add a Kirigami.PlaceholderMessage with some instructions in case the list view is empty.
A search field is often added to a Kirigami.ScrollablePage to filter the ListView. This can be done by changing the default titleDelegate to use a Kirigami.SearchField instead.
Hint
You can use KSortFilterProxyModel from KItemModel to easily add filtering capability directly in QML without any need for C++ code.
Another function provided by this component is a "pull-to-refresh" action. To use this, activate it as follows:
By pulling down, you can also activate a special mode with a larger top margin which makes single-handed use of the application easier.
