center items in Grid View cells

[joko]

Hi,

Any idea how to center the delegate item which has smaller dimensions compared to the cell dimensions?
They're always aligned on the top left.

Grid View Code:

GridView
{
  id: preferencesList
  anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
  anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
  width: 350; height: 350
  cellWidth: 175; cellHeight: 175
  delegate: delegates {}
}

GridView
{
  id: preferencesList
  anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
  anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
  width: 350; height: 350
  cellWidth: 175; cellHeight: 175
  delegate: delegates {}
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

delegates:

Item
{
    id: root
    width: GridView.view.cellWidth
    height: GridView.view.cellHeight
 
    Rectangle
    {
        width: 130
        height: 130
        anchors.centerIn: parent.Center // this is not working
   }      
}

Item
{
    id: root
    width: GridView.view.cellWidth
    height: GridView.view.cellHeight
    
    Rectangle
    {
        width: 130
        height: 130
        anchors.centerIn: parent.Center // this is not working
   }      
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I already tried putting the center anchor in the root item, still not working.
Thanks.

centerIn and fill anchors take an item id

anchors.centerIn: parent

anchors.centerIn: parent

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks for the quick response anda_skoa.
Where should I put the centerIn and fill anchors? At the Rectangle of the Item?

I don't want to fill the Rectangle into the cell because I want to limit the delegate mouseArea into the smaller dimension instead of the whole cell.

Exactly where you have it now, just fix the binding expression.

centerIn and fill are obviously anchor options that rule each other out, right?

I don't want to fill the Rectangle into the cell

Where did I say you had to fill it?

Sorry, i miss understood your previous comment, I thought I should fill the Rectangle into Item.

All good now! Cheers to both of you!
