[SailfishDevel] Getting simple XML to show on the emulator

[Jani Nuutinen]

I'm trying early on to familiarize myself with passing data to the phone
from the Internet and just for starters I chose to use a simple XML-file to
see if I could make something out myself. I do not know if using XML from
Internet source is the simplest or the smartest method, but trying to
follow the scarce tutorials about passing XML data didn't seem to be that
challenging.

Code:

import QtQuick 2.0

import Sailfish.Silica 1.0

import QtQuick.XmlListModel 2.0


Page{

    id: root


    XmlListModel{

        id:noteXml

        source:"http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml"

        query:"/note"

        XmlRole{name: "body"; query: "body/string()"}

    }


    SilicaListView{

         id:noteView

         width: parent.width

         height: parent.height

         anchors.centerIn: parent


         header: PageHeader{

             title: "Note"

         }


         model:noteXml

         }

    }



I've tried few other approaches but to me this seems the simplest
method "coding wise". The app starts (in the emulator) as it should
and without errors, showing the first page with *Note* as the title.
But no matter how much I'd like the XML getting passed on to the phone
screen from the provided URL it never does.


So I'm wondering what am I missing that should be included to get such
a simple thing working?
