    @suslucoder said in How to get first element of QList:

     QList<int> list;
       list << inner_data[1].toString().toInt();
         qDebug() << list;
    

    when i run this output is

    (14)
    (0)
    (1)
    (13)
    

    You must be running that code in a loop. Do you know that you called qDebug() 4 times?

    Every loop iteration, you put 1 item in the list and then destroy the list.

    @JKSH if you can look at my last question, the complete code is there. My mind so confused

      You need to learn how to use loops.

      Add more debug messages to your code; it might help you see what's happening:

      qDebug() << "I am creating an empty list now.";
      
      QList<int> list;
      
      qDebug() << "My list contains" << list.count() << "items.";
      qDebug() << "My whole list is" << list;
      
      qDebug() << "I am putting an integer into my list now.";
      
      list << inner_data[1].toString().toInt();
      
      qDebug() << "My list contains" << list.count() << "items.";
      qDebug() << "My whole list is" << list;

            @JKSH Yes i run it. I realize that, it add the elements into list by one by.
            I move to the definition of list to my header.

            run this

                                 list << inner_data[1].toString().toInt();
                                 qDebug() << "My list contains" << list.count() << "items.";
                                 qDebug() << "My whole list is" << list;
            

            and achieve this, by i didnt solve why

            My list contains 1 items.
            My whole list is (14)
            My list contains 2 items.
            My whole list is (14, 0)
            My list contains 3 items.
            My whole list is (14, 0, 1)
            My list contains 4 items.
            My whole list is (14, 0, 1, 13)

              Good job. Now try list.at(0) again.

                @JKSH it gives me the first item but 4 times.

                Why? I didnt understand this. Becauuse if my inner_data[1] size is 4?
                How can i solve it?

                I expect that giving just this

                My list contains 4 items.
                My whole list is (14, 0, 1, 13)

                    Why?

                    Because you called list.at(0) 4 times, in a loop.

                    Loops are used to run code repeatedly. If you don't want a line of code to run repeatedly, then you must put that line outside the loop.

                    How much do you understand for-loops?

                        @suslucoder ok, list magically appears, so I assume its a class member, the formatting is horrible,but my guess this is most likely to do copy & past issues in the forum.

                        Place your qDebug here, and it should work fine

                        void Okuma ()
                        {

                            file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text);
                            
                            QByteArray data = file.readAll();
                            QJsonDocument doc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(data);
                            
                            QJsonObject root = doc.object();
                            QJsonArray tlmtArray = root.value("Telemetri Verileri").toArray();
                            
                            for(int i = 0; i < tlmtArray.size(); ++i) {
                                QJsonObject obj = tlmtArray[i].toObject();
                                QJsonArray gps_array = obj.value("GPS").toArray();

                            OP already figured out the function for obtaining the first element: https://forum.qt.io/post/650999 Their current problem is how to avoid calling it inside a loop.
