How to "Print Out" the data of a QStandardItem

Question

Is there a way to print the data of a QstandardItem out, say I have;

QList<QStandardItem*> testQList;
QString yay = "!Yay";
QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(yay);
testQList.append(item);

qDebug() << testQList;

I just get the memory addres, (0x409bd00) I cannot dereference the list either.

Answer 1

You get this because you try to print whole list with objects, it is not list with strings. In this case qDebug always prints memory address so you should use loop and text() method(iterate throw list).

for(int i = 0; i<testQList.size();i++)
{
   qDebug() << testQList.at(i)->text();
}

Answer 2

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QString>
#include <QList>
#include <QDebug>

class QStandardItem
{
    QString mStr;
public:
    QStandardItem(QString str)
    {
        mStr = str;
    }

    QString toString()
    {
        return mStr;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    QList<QStandardItem*> testQList;
    QString yay = "!Yay";
    QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(yay);
    testQList.append(item);

    for(int i = 0; i<testQList.size();i++)
    {
       qDebug() << testQList.at(i)->toString();
    }

    return a.exec();
}
