Qml NumberAnimation

[IgorP]

Hey,
i wrote 8 puzzle solver in C++ for gui i used QML, it works fine but when i want it to look good and i use NumberAnimation on x,y it looks good when user is moving puzzle but when algorithm is building path it can't keep up and it makes mess. I tried waiting for animation to finish

while(!previousItem->property("animationFinished).toBool){};
moveItem(nextItem); // not actual code
and then move next element but it seems that this freezes whole gui so it never finishes the animation.
Any suggestions?

Waiting for the animation to finish is not equivalent to blocking the application, which is what you are doing.

If your application is stuck executing a while loop, it cannot do something else, right?

Provide a slot on an object exported from C++ and call it from QML once the animation is done. Then advance in that slot.

Cheers,

While loop was only last thing i tried in despair,
originaly i started with signal and slot but it didn't work so I tried something else,
now i looked at my code with calm head and i realised i emited signal every time running state changed not only when it changed to false,
anyway thank you very much.
