TpMessageMixin

TpMessageMixin — a mixin implementation of the text channel type and the Messages interface

Functions

Types and Values

Includes

#include <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib.h>

Description

This mixin can be added to a channel GObject class to implement the text channel type (with the Messages interface) in a general way. The channel class should also have a TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass.

To use the messages mixin, include a TpMessageMixin somewhere in your instance structure, and call tp_message_mixin_init() from your constructor function, and tp_message_mixin_finalize() from your dispose or finalize function. In the class_init function, call tp_message_mixin_init_dbus_properties() to hook this mixin into the D-Bus properties mixin class. Finally, include the following in the fourth argument of G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE():

1
2
3
4
G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_TYPE_TEXT,
  tp_message_mixin_text_iface_init);
G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_MESSAGES,
  tp_message_mixin_messages_iface_init);

To support sending messages, you must call tp_message_mixin_implement_sending() in the constructor function. If you do not, any attempt to send a message will fail with NotImplemented.

To support chat state, you must call tp_message_mixin_implement_send_chat_state() in the constructor function, and include the following in the fourth argument of G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE():

1
2
G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_CHAT_STATE,
  tp_message_mixin_chat_state_iface_init);

Functions

TpMessageMixinSendImpl ()

void

                           TpMessageSendingFlags flags);

Parameters

object

An instance of the implementation that uses this mixin

 

message

An outgoing message

 

flags

flags with which to send the message

 

tp_message_mixin_finalize ()

tp_message_mixin_sent ()

void
tp_message_mixin_sent (GObject *object,
                       TpMessage *message,

                       const GError *error);

Indicate to the message mixin that message submission to the IM server has succeeded or failed. This should be called as soon as the CM determines it's theoretically possible to send the message (e.g. the parameters are supported and correct).

After this function is called, message will have been freed, and must not be dereferenced.

Parameters

object

An object implementing the Text and Messages interfaces with this mixin

 

message

The outgoing message

 

flags

The flags used when sending the message, which may be a subset of those passed to the TpMessageMixinSendImpl implementation if not all are supported, or 0 on error.

 

token

A token representing the sent message (see the Telepathy D-Bus API specification), or an empty string if no suitable identifier is available, or NULL on error

 

error

NULL on success, or the error with which message submission failed

tp_message_mixin_set_rescued ()

void
tp_message_mixin_set_rescued (GObject *obj);

guint
tp_message_mixin_take_received (GObject *object,
                                TpMessage *message);

Receive a message into the pending messages queue, where it will stay until acknowledged, and emit the Received and ReceivedMessage signals. Also emit the SendError signal if the message is a failed delivery report.

Parameters

object

a channel with this mixin

 

message

the message. Its ownership is claimed by the message mixin, so it must no longer be modified or freed

 

Returns

the message ID
