Description

The TpChannelDispatcher object can be used to communicate with any implementation of the Telepathy ChannelDispatcher service to request new channels.

Details

struct TpChannelDispatcher

struct TpChannelDispatcher;

The Channel Dispatcher's main D-Bus API is used to request channels, which is done by calling tp_cli_channel_dispatcher_call_create_channel() or tp_cli_channel_dispatcher_call_ensure_channel() as appropriate.

The Telepathy Channel Dispatcher is also responsible for responding to new channels and launching client processes to handle them. However, clients that can work with incoming channels do not have to call methods on the channel dispatcher: instead, they must register with the channel dispatcher passively, by taking a bus name starting with TP_CLIENT_BUS_NAME_BASE and implementing the TpSvcClient interface. See the Telepathy D-Bus Interface Specification for details.

This proxy is usable but incomplete: convenience methods will be added in a later version of telepathy-glib, along with a mechanism similar to tp_connection_call_when_ready().

Since 0.7.32

struct TpChannelDispatcherClass

struct TpChannelDispatcherClass {
};

The class of a TpChannelDispatcher.

tp_channel_dispatcher_new ()

TpChannelDispatcher * tp_channel_dispatcher_new         (TpDBusDaemon *bus_daemon);

Convenience function to create a new channel dispatcher proxy.

bus_daemon :

 Proxy for the D-Bus daemon

Returns :

 a new reference to a channel dispatcher proxy

tp_channel_dispatcher_init_known_interfaces ()

void                tp_channel_dispatcher_init_known_interfaces
                                                        (void);

Ensure that the known interfaces for TpChannelDispatcher have been set up. This is done automatically when necessary, but for correct overriding of library interfaces by local extensions, you should call this function before calling tp_proxy_or_subclass_hook_on_interface_add() with first argument TP_TYPE_CHANNEL_DISPATCHER.

Since 0.7.32

proxy :

 the TpProxy

timeout_ms :

 the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

in_Account :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Account</tp:dbus-ref> for which the new channel is to be created.

in_Requested_Properties :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>A dictionary containing desirable properties. This has the same semantics as the corresponding parameter to <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.Interface.Requests.CreateChannel</tp:dbus-ref>. </p> <p>Certain properties will not necessarily make sense in this dictionary: for instance, <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandle</tp:dbus-ref> can only be given if the requester is able to interact with a <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection</tp:dbus-ref> to the desired account.</p>

in_User_Action_Time :

The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelRequest">UserActionTime</tp:dbus-ref> property will be set to this value, and it will eventually be passed as the <code>User_Action_Time</code> parameter of <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Handler">HandleChannels</tp:dbus-ref>.</p>

This also allows a client to become the handler for a channel produced by one of its own requests, while not being a candidate to handle other channels of that type.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>If this is a well-known bus name and the handler has the Requests interface, the channel dispatcher SHOULD call <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Interface.Requests">AddRequest</tp:dbus-ref> on that Handler after this method has returned.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>This ordering allows a Handler which calls CreateChannel with itself as the preferred handler to associate the call to AddRequest with that call.</p> </tp:rationale> <p>This is copied to the ChannelRequest that is returned, as the <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelRequest">PreferredHandler</tp:dbus-ref> property.</p>

proxy :

 the TpProxy

timeout_ms :

 the timeout in milliseconds, or -1 to use the default

in_Account :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: The <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Account</tp:dbus-ref> for which the new channel is to be created.

in_Requested_Properties :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>A dictionary containing desirable properties. This has the same semantics as the corresponding parameter to <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.Interface.Requests.EnsureChannel</tp:dbus-ref>. </p> <p>Certain properties will not necessarily make sense in this dictionary: for instance, <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandle</tp:dbus-ref> can only be given if the requester is able to interact with a <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection</tp:dbus-ref> to the desired account.</p>

in_User_Action_Time :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>The time at which user action occurred, or 0 if this channel request is for some reason not involving user action.</p> <p>This parameter is used in the same way as the corresponding parameter to <tp:member-ref>CreateChannelWithHints</tp:member-ref>.</p>

in_Preferred_Handler :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Either the well-known bus name (starting with <code>org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.</code>) of the preferred handler for this channel, or an empty string to indicate that any handler would be acceptable.

If the requested channel already exists (that is, <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.Interface.Requests.EnsureChannel</tp:dbus-ref> returns <code>Yours=False</code>) then the channel dispatcher SHOULD re-dispatch the channel to its existing handler, and MUST NOT dispatch it to this client (unless it is the existing handler); the request is still deemed to have succeeded in this case.</p> <tp:rationale> <p>An address book application, for example, might call <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatcher">EnsureChannel</tp:dbus-ref> to ensure that a text channel with a particular contact is displayed to the user; it does not care whether a new channel was made. An IM client might call <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatcher">EnsureChannel</tp:dbus-ref> in response to the user double-clicking an entry in the contact list, with itself as the <code>Preferred_Handler</code>; if the user already has a conversation with that contact in another application, they would expect the existing window to be presented, rather than their double-click leading to an error message. So the request should succeed, even if its <code>Preferred_Handler</code> is not used.</p> </tp:rationale>

in_Hints :

 Used to pass an 'in' argument: Additional information about the channel request, which will be used as the value for the resulting request's <tp:dbus-ref namespace="ofdT.ChannelRequest">Hints</tp:dbus-ref> property.

callback :

 called when the method call succeeds or fails; may be NULL to make a "fire and forget" call with no reply tracking

Connect a handler to the signal DispatchOperationFinished.

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Emitted when a dispatch operation finishes (i.e. exactly once per emission of <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">ChannelDispatchOperation.Finished</tp:dbus-ref>). <tp:rationale> Strictly speaking this is redundant with ChannelDispatchOperation.Finished, but it provides full change-notification for the <tp:member-ref>DispatchOperations</tp:member-ref> property. </tp:rationale>

proxy :

 A TpChannelDispatcher or subclass

callback :

 Callback to be called when the signal is received

user_data :

 User-supplied data for the callback

destroy :

 Destructor for the user-supplied data, which will be called when this signal is disconnected, or before this function returns NULL

weak_object :

 A GObject which will be weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this callback will automatically be disconnected

error :

 If not NULL, used to raise an error if NULL is returned

Returns :

 a TpProxySignalConnection containing all of the above, which can be used to disconnect the signal; or NULL if the proxy does not have the desired interface or has become invalid.
