Description

This mixin can be added to a TpBaseConnection subclass to implement the SimplePresence and/or Presence interfaces. Implementing both interfaces (as described below) is recommended. In particular, you must implement the old-style Presence interface if compatibility with telepathy-glib versions older than 0.11.13 is required.

To use the presence mixin, include a TpPresenceMixinClass somewhere in your class structure and a TpPresenceMixin somewhere in your instance structure, and call tp_presence_mixin_class_init() from your class_init function, tp_presence_mixin_init() from your init function or constructor, and tp_presence_mixin_finalize() from your dispose or finalize function.

Implementing SimplePresence

Since 0.7.13 this mixin supports the entire SimplePresence interface. You can implement TpSvcConnectionInterfaceSimplePresence as follows:

Implementing old-style Presence

This mixin also supports a large subset of the deprecated Presence interface. It does not support protocols where it is possible to set multiple statuses on yourself at once (all presence statuses will have the exclusive flag set), or last-activity-time information.

To use the presence mixin as the implementation of TpSvcConnectionInterfacePresence, use tp_presence_mixin_iface_init() as the function you pass to G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE(). The presence mixin implements all of the D-Bus methods in the Presence interface.

In telepathy-glib versions older than 0.11.13, every connection that used the TpPresenceMixin was required to implement TpSvcConnectionInterfacePresence; failing to do so would lead to an assertion failure. Since 0.11.13, this is no longer required.

Details

struct TpPresenceStatusOptionalArgumentSpec

struct TpPresenceStatusOptionalArgumentSpec {
    const gchar *name;
    const gchar *dtype;
};

Structure specifying a supported optional argument for a presence status.

In addition to the fields documented here, there are two gpointer fields which must currently be NULL. A meaning may be defined for these in a future version of telepathy-glib.

const gchar *name;

 Name of the argument as passed over D-Bus

const gchar *dtype;

 D-Bus type signature of the argument

TpPresenceStatusSpec

typedef struct {
    const gchar *name;
    TpConnectionPresenceType presence_type;
    gboolean self;
    const TpPresenceStatusOptionalArgumentSpec *optional_arguments;
} TpPresenceStatusSpec;

Structure specifying a supported presence status.

In addition to the fields documented here, there are two gpointer fields which must currently be NULL. A meaning may be defined for these in a future version of telepathy-glib.

const gchar *name;

 String identifier of the presence status

TpConnectionPresenceType presence_type;

 A type value, as specified by TpConnectionPresenceType

gboolean self;

 Indicates if this status may be set on yourself

const TpPresenceStatusOptionalArgumentSpec *optional_arguments;

 An array of TpPresenceStatusOptionalArgumentSpec structures representing the optional arguments for this status, terminated by a NULL name. If there are no optional arguments for a status, this can be NULL.

TpPresenceMixinStatusAvailableFunc ()

gboolean            (*TpPresenceMixinStatusAvailableFunc)
                                                        (GObject *obj,
                                                         guint which);

Signature of the callback used to determine if a given status is currently available to be set on the connection.

When implementing the org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.SimplePresence interface this can be called while DISCONNECTED to determine which statuses can be set in that state.

obj :

 An object implementing the presence interface with this mixin

which :

 The index of the presence status in the provided supported presence statuses array

Returns :

 TRUE if the status is available, FALSE if not.

TpPresenceMixinGetContactStatusesFunc ()

GHashTable *        (*TpPresenceMixinGetContactStatusesFunc)
                                                        (GObject *obj,
                                                         const GArray *contacts,
                                                         GError **error);

Signature of the callback used to get the stored presence status of contacts. The returned hash table should have contact handles mapped to their respective presence statuses in TpPresenceStatus structs.

The returned hash table will be freed with g_hash_table_destroy. The callback is responsible for ensuring that this does any cleanup that may be necessary.

obj :

 An object with this mixin.

contacts :

 An array of TpHandle for the contacts to get presence status for

error :

 Used to return a Telepathy D-Bus error if NULL is returned

Returns :

 The contact presence on success, NULL with error set on error. [transfer full]

TpPresenceMixinSetOwnStatusFunc ()

gboolean            (*TpPresenceMixinSetOwnStatusFunc)  (GObject *obj,
                                                         const TpPresenceStatus *status,
                                                         GError **error);

Signature of the callback used to commit changes to the user's own presence status in SetStatuses. It is also used in ClearStatus and RemoveStatus to reset the user's own status back to the "default" one with a NULL status argument.

The optional_arguments hash table in status, if not NULL, will have been filtered so it only contains recognised parameters, so the callback need not (and cannot) check for unrecognised parameters. However, the types of the parameters are not currently checked, so the callback is responsible for doing so.

The callback is responsible for emitting PresenceUpdate, if appropriate, by calling tp_presence_mixin_emit_presence_update().

obj :

 An object with this mixin.

status :

 The status to set, or NULL for whatever the protocol defines as a "default" status

error :

 Used to return a Telepathy D-Bus error if FALSE is returned

Returns :

 TRUE if the operation was successful, FALSE if not.

TpPresenceStatus

typedef struct {
    guint index;
    GHashTable *optional_arguments;
} TpPresenceStatus;

Structure representing a presence status.

In addition to the fields documented here, there are two gpointer fields which must currently be NULL. A meaning may be defined for these in a future version of telepathy-glib.

guint index;

 Index of the presence status in the provided supported presence statuses array

GHashTable *optional_arguments;

 A GHashTable mapping of string identifiers to GValues of the optional status arguments, if any. If there are no optional arguments, this pointer may be NULL.

tp_presence_status_new ()

TpPresenceStatus *  tp_presence_status_new              (guint which,
                                                         GHashTable *optional_arguments);

Construct a presence status structure. You should free the returned structure with tp_presence_status_free.

which :

 Index of the presence status in the provided supported presence statuses array

optional_arguments :

 Optional arguments for the presence statuses. Can be NULL if there are no optional arguments. The presence status object makes a copy of the hashtable, so you should free the original.

Returns :

 A pointer to the newly allocated presence status structure.

tp_presence_status_free ()

void                tp_presence_status_free             (TpPresenceStatus *status);

Deallocate all resources associated with a presence status structure.

status :

 A pointer to the presence status structure to free.
