Calling of function of one page from another page in blackberry cascades using qml - blackberry

Question

In my application I have a main.qml which has a navigation pane that goes to homepage.qml and from there to profilepage.qml. When I come back from profilepage to homepage I need to trigger a function in home page. I noticed that whenever I pop back I get a call onPopTransitionEnded in the main page. Since homepage is pushed from main.qml there is no navigation pane on homepage and I cant access onPopTransitionEnded on homepage. Below are the sample structures of my 3 qml views.
main.qml
NavigationPane {
id: nav
peekEnabled: false
onPopTransitionEnded: {
console.log("POP PAGE from main");
if(page.objectName=="newProfilePage")
{
//I tried to access the function using the homepage id but didnt work
menuScreenPage.reloadView(); // This doesnt work, shows error unknown symbol menuScreenPage
}
page.destroy();
}
Page {
id: mainPage
Container {
//some code
}
onCreationCompleted: {
//Some code and then push to homepage
nav.push(homePageDefenition.createObject());
}
}
}
homepage.qml
Page {
id: menuScreenPage
objectName: "menuScreenPage"
function reloadView() //This is the function that is needed to be called on page pop from profile page
{
//some code
}
Container {
//some code
Button { //a button to push to profile page
id:pushButton
horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Right
verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Bottom
onClicked: {
console.log("I was clicked!")
nav.push(profilePageDefinition.createObject());
}
}
}
}
profilepage.qml
Page {
id: newProfilePage
objectName: "newProfilePage"
Container {
//some code
Button { //a button to pop to home page
id:popButton
horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Right
verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Bottom
onClicked: {
console.log("I was clicked!")
nav.pop();
}
}
}
}
So is there a way that I can access the function of homepage.qml from main.qml? Or is there any other function like onPopTransitionEnded which I can access on homepage.qml itself when I pop from profilepage? Please advice.

Answer 1

Seems that you created unnamed object with this line:
homePageDefenition.createObject()
If you want to access it later, you should save it in some property, for ex.
property var myHomePage: null
...
myHomePage = homePageDefenition.createObject()
nav.push(myHomePage )
...
myHomePage.reloadView();
Keep in mind that "menuScreenPage" is local name (id), it works only inside homepage.qml and nobody can access it beyond that file.
UPD
You can even use such code:
page.reloadView(); // Use local variable "page" instead of internal id "menuScreenPage"
