+ \tableofcontents
+
+ In the previous chapters we designed a component to display and
+ edit a contact. The next step is to display a list of those contacts
+ and allow the user to expand individual contacts for editing.
+
+ As the previous elements will not be changed in this section, they have
+ been moved to a lib directory for this tutorial and the relevant
+ name space path has been used.
+
+ \section1 Simple List View
+
+ Displaying lists requires three components. A model that holds the
+ data displayed, a delegate to indicate how elements are drawn and
+ a view to arrange the elements.
+
+ For the purposes of this tutorial we will be using an SQL query as our
+ data model. This can be declared in the resources section of
+ the parent item.
+
+ \code
+ <SqlConnection id="contactDatabase"
+ name="qmlConnection"
+ driver="QSQLITE" databaseName="../../shared/contacts.sqlite"/>
+ <SqlQuery id="contactList"
+ connection="{contactDatabase}">
+ <query>SELECT recid, label, email, phone FROM contacts ORDER BY label, recid</query>
+ </SqlQuery>
+ \endcode
+
+ The SqlConnection component describes how to connect to the database in
+ much the same ways as the QSqlDatabase::addDatabase() function is used.
+ In this case an SQLite database is used as it can be connected to as a
+ file, reducing complexity in setting up a database server or credentials.
+
+ The SqlQuery component allows various forms of queries to be described.
+ When the query is a select statement, the component also acts as a model
+ allowing it to provide data to a ListView component. The query above
+ retrieves the fields recid, label, email and phone from a contacts table,
+ and orders the results by the label of the contact first, and then by
+ the recid for any contacts with equivalent labels.
+
+ To display the data retrieved from the table, a delegate is needed. This
+ is also declared in the resources section of the parent item.
+
+ \code
+ <Component id="contactDelegate">
+ <Text
+ x="45" y="12"
+ width="{contactListView.width-45}"
+ height="30"
+ color="black"
+ font.bold="true"
+ text="{model.label}"/>
+ </Component>
+ \endcode
