[Qgis-user] Ho retrieve the attributealias list

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi

layer.attributeList() works for me, I really don't know what goes wrong
there for you. But it's a quite silly functions since the attribute
indexes were changed to always be sequential. Now it just delivers a
list each numbers from 0..count-1. So your enumerate will allways give
you [(0,0)..(n-1, n-1)].

That said, what you probably want to use is layer.attributeAliases().
That gives you a mapping of field names to aliases.
Or [(idx, layer.attributeAlias(idx)) for idx in
range(layer.fields().count())] if you really want to use the field indexes.

Best,
Matthias
