Description

This base class makes it easier to write TpSvcClient implementations. Subclasses should usually pass the filters they want and override the D-Bus methods they implement.

For many applications, the provided TpSimpleObserver, TpSimpleApprover and TpSimpleHandler subclasses can be used instead of deriving from this class.

Details

TpBaseClient

typedef struct _TpBaseClient TpBaseClient;

Data structure representing a generic TpSvcClient implementation.

Since 0.11.5


struct TpBaseClientClass

struct TpBaseClientClass {
    GObjectClass parent_class;
    TpBaseClientClassObserveChannelsImpl observe_channels;
    TpBaseClientClassAddDispatchOperationImpl add_dispatch_operation;
    TpBaseClientClassHandleChannelsImpl handle_channels;
};

The class of a TpBaseClient.

The virtual methods observe_channels, add_dispatch_operation and handle_channels can be also implemented by calling tp_base_client_implement_observe_channels(), tp_base_client_implement_add_dispatch_operation() and tp_base_client_implement_handle_channels(). This is compatible with telepathy-glib versions older than 0.11.13.

GObjectClass parent_class;

the parent class

TpBaseClientClassObserveChannelsImpl observe_channels;

the function called to observe newly-created channels matching this client's observer filter (since 0.11.13)

TpBaseClientClassAddDispatchOperationImpl add_dispatch_operation;

the function called to request user approval of unrequested (incoming) channels matching this client's approver filter (since 0.11.13)

TpBaseClientClassHandleChannelsImpl handle_channels;

the function called to handle channels matching this client's handler filter (since 0.11.13)

Since 0.11.5


tp_base_client_add_observer_filter ()

void                tp_base_client_add_observer_filter  (TpBaseClient *self,
                                                         GHashTable *filter);

Register a new channel class as Observer.ObserverChannelFilter. The TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels virtual method will be called whenever a new channel's properties match the ones in filter.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

                                                        (TpBaseClient *self,
                                                         GVariant *filter);

Register a new channel class as Observer.ObserverChannelFilter. The TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels virtual method will be called whenever a new channel's properties match the ones in filter.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

If the variant is floating (see g_variant_ref_sink()), ownership will be taken, allowing for uses like this:

                                                         GHashTable *filter);

The same as tp_base_client_add_observer_filter(), but ownership of filter is taken by self. This makes it convenient to call using tp_asv_new():

tp_base_client_set_observer_recover ()

void                tp_base_client_set_observer_recover (TpBaseClient *self,
                                                         gboolean recover);

Set whether the channel dispatcher should attempt to recover this Observer if it crashes. (This is implemented by setting the value of its Recover D-Bus property.)

Normally, Observers are only notified when new channels appear. If an Observer is set to recover, when it registers with tp_base_client_register(), it will also be told about any channels that already existed before it started.

For Observers that are activatable as a D-Bus service, if the Observer exits or crashes while there are any channels that match its filter, it will automatically be restarted by service-activation.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

self :

a TpBaseClient

recover :

the value of the Observer.Recover property

                                                         gboolean delay);

Set whether the channel dispatcher should wait for tp_observe_channels_context_accept() or tp_observe_channels_context_fail() to be called before calling TpBaseClientClass.add_dispatch_operation on appropriate Approvers.

This is implemented by setting the value of the DelayApprovers D-Bus property.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

self :

a TpBaseClient

delay :

the value of the Observer.DelayApprovers property

Methods that set the filters and other immutable state, such as tp_base_client_add_observer_filter(), cannot be called after this one.

Remove this client object from D-Bus, if tp_base_client_register() has already been called.

If the object is not registered, this method may be called, but has no effect.

Releasing the last reference to the object also has the same effect as calling this method, but this method should be preferred, as it has more deterministic behaviour.

If the object still exists, tp_base_client_register() may be used to attempt to register it again.

TpBaseClient:account-manager is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. New code should not use this property, it may be NULL in the case self was constructed with a TpSimpleClientFactory.

Account manager for this base client, used to look up or create TpAccount objects. This may be specified in the constructor in order to get existing TpAccount objects.

It is not guaranteed that any of its features have been prepared, and it is not necessary to wait for any features before specifying this property in the constructor.

Clients that interact with the TpAccount should usually set this property instead of "dbus-daemon". Doing this will ensure that each account, connection or contact is represented by a single TpAccount, TpConnection or TpContact object, shared between all the cooperating modules that have the same TpAccountManager.

If the "dbus-daemon" is set to the result of tp_dbus_daemon_dup(), then this property defaults to the result of tp_account_manager_dup().

This property may be NULL initially, but will always be non-NULL after the TpBaseClient has been constructed.

It is an error to specify both a non-NULL account manager, and a non-NULL "dbus-daemon" that is not the same as the account manager's "dbus-daemon".

Since 0.11.14


The "channel-factory" property

  "channel-factory"          GObject*              : Read / Write / Construct Only

Warning

TpBaseClient:channel-factory is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. since 0.15.5. The factory is taken from "account-manager".

The object implementing the TpClientChannelFactoryInterface interface that will be used to create channel proxies. While tp_base_client_register() has not yet been called, this property can be changed using tp_base_client_set_channel_factory().

If no channel factory is specified then TpAutomaticProxyFactory is used.

Since 0.13.2


The "dbus-daemon" property

  "dbus-daemon"              TpDBusDaemon*         : Read / Write / Construct Only

TpDBusDaemon object encapsulating this object's connection to D-Bus. Read-only except during construction.

This property can't be NULL after construction.

Since 0.11.14 this property may be NULL or unspecified in g_object_new(), but only if "account-manager" is provided instead, in which case its "dbus-daemon" property will be used.

Since 0.11.5


The "factory" property

  "factory"                  TpSimpleClientFactory*  : Read / Write / Construct Only

The "uniquify-name" property

  "uniquify-name"            gboolean              : Read / Write / Construct Only

a TpBaseClient

account :

the TpAccount on which the request was made, with TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE, and any other features added via tp_base_client_add_account_features() or tp_simple_client_factory_add_account_features(), prepared if possible

a TpChannelRequest having its object-path defined but is not guaranteed to be prepared.

user_data :

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 0.11.6


The "request-removed" signal

void                user_function                      (TpBaseClient     *self,

Emitted when a request has failed and should be disregarded.

This signal is only fired if tp_base_client_set_handler_request_notification() has been called on self previously.

self :

a TpBaseClient

request :

the TpChannelRequest being removed

error :

the name of the D-Bus error with which the request failed.

message :

any message supplied with the D-Bus error.
