I am catching the selectionChanged signal and passing the selected layer to the registered method. Once here, I want to know the features that were selected. I do this with a call to layer.selectedFeatures().

The return type from this call is a QgsFeatureList. As a test, I'm trying to print the values of the features in the QgsFeatureList that was selected, or just display them in a simple way. I find that neither QgsFeatureList nor QgsFeature has any functions returning a QString.

How can I print the values of the features that were selected?

Here is an example from the Python Console:

layer = iface.activeLayer()
features = layer.selectedFeatures()
for feature in features:
    print feature['NAME']

  • Is there a way to extract all values from each feature without having to index them by name?

  • I could iterate using int indexes, but I was thinking more along the lines of one whole feature at a time.

  • Using the QgsFeature.attributes() function is what I was looking for. It returns all the attributes of a feature.
