Instead of a list of strings as input for the Sections you can also use the 'actions' property with a list of Actions. Then renaming a sim can update the text for the action, without changing the list that the Sections use, so selectedIndex is not changed.
Using an Action for each sim might also be a slightly more straightforward way to change the configuration instead of using onSelectedIndexChanged to detect when the user taps on a SIM name. For example, clicking the button in the example below will change the name of the section without changing selectedIndex: import QtQuick 2.4 import Ubuntu.Components 1.3 MainView { width: units.gu(80) height: units.gu(70) Page { header: PageHeader { title: "Example" extension: Sections { actions: [ Action { id: action1 text: "Action 1" onTriggered: print("first one") }, Action { id: action2 text: "Action 2" onTriggered: print("second one") } ] selectedIndex: 1 } } Button { anchors.centerIn: parent text: "Change action name" onClicked: action1.text = "First action" } } } -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1557707 Title: [Sections] selectedIndex binding is broken if the model changes Status in Canonical System Image: Triaged Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If I assign a default value for the selectedIndex, it is expected that the binding for this value will be kept until the user selects a different section. Changing the model should not affect that, but it does, as this example shows: import QtQuick 2.0 import Ubuntu.Components 1.3 MainView { width: 720 height: 1280 Page { id: myPage anchors.fill: parent title: "Click the page" header: PageHeader { id: pageHeader title: myPage.title extension: Sections { id: pageSections model: [ "one", "two", "three" ] selectedIndex: 1 } } MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onClicked: pageSections.model = [ "first", "second", "third" ] } } } To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1557707/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
