Group interface

Cached access to state of the group interface on the associated remote object, if the interface is present. Almost all methods return undefined values if the list returned by interfaces() doesn't include TELEPATHY_INTERFACE_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_GROUP or if the object is not ready.

Some methods can be used when targetHandleType() == HandleTypeContact, such as groupFlags(), groupCanAddContacts(), groupCanRemoveContacts(), groupSelfContact() and groupContacts().

As the Group interface state can change freely during the lifetime of the channel due to events like new contacts joining the group, the cached state is automatically kept in sync with the remote object's state by hooking to the change notification signals present in the D-Bus interface.

As the cached value changes, change notification signals are emitted.

Signals are emitted to indicate that properties have changed, for groupMembersChanged(), groupSelfContactChanged(), etc.

Check the individual signals' descriptions for details.

Optional interface proxy factory

Factory functions fabricating proxies for optional Channel interfaces and interfaces for specific channel types.

Detailed Description

The Channel class provides an object representing a Telepathy channel.

All communication in the Telepathy framework is carried out via channel objects which are created and managed by connections. Specialized classes for some specific channel types such as StreamedMediaChannel, TextChannel, FileTransferChannel are provided.

It adds the following features compared to using Client::ChannelInterface directly:

The remote object state accessor functions on this object (interfaces(), channelType(), targetHandleType(), targetHandle(), requested(), initiatorContact(), and so on) don't make any D-Bus calls; instead, they return/use values cached from a previous introspection run. The introspection process populates their values in the most efficient way possible based on what the service implements. Their return value is mostly undefined until the introspection process is completed, i.e. isReady() returns true. See the individual accessor descriptions for more details.

Additionally, the state of the group interface on the remote object (if present) will be cached in the introspection process, and also tracked for any changes.

To avoid unnecessary D-Bus traffic, some methods only return valid information after a specific feature has been enabled by calling becomeReady() with the desired set of features as an argument, and waiting for the resulting PendingOperation to finish. For instance, to retrieve the initial invitee contacts of a conference channel, it is necessary to call becomeReady() with Channel::FeatureConferenceInitialInviteeContacts included in the argument. The required features are documented by each method.

Each channel is owned by a connection. If the Connection object becomes dead (as signaled by Connection::invalidated()), the Channel object will also get invalidated.

Usage

Creating a channel object

Channel objects can be created in various ways, but the preferred way is trough Account channel creation methods such as Account::ensureTextChat(), Account::createFileTransfer(), which uses the channel dispatcher.

If you already know the object path, you can just call create(). For example:

 ChannelPtr chan = Channel::create(connection, objectPath,
         immutableProperties);

Making channel ready to use

A Channel object needs to become ready before usage, meaning that the introspection process finished and the object accessors can be used.

To make the object ready, use becomeReady() and wait for the PendingOperation::finished() signal to be emitted.

 class MyClass : public QObject
 {
     QOBJECT

 public:
     MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
     ~MyClass() { }

 private Q_SLOTS:
     void onChannelReady(Tp::PendingOperation*);

 private:
     ChannelPtr chan;
 };

 MyClass::MyClass(const ConnectionPtr &connection,
         const QString &objectPath, const QVariantMap &immutableProperties)
     : QObject(parent)
       chan(Channel::create(connection, objectPath, immutableProperties))
 {
     connect(chan->becomeReady(),
             SIGNAL(finished(Tp::PendingOperation*)),
             SLOT(onChannelReady(Tp::PendingOperation*)));
 }

 void MyClass::onChannelReady(Tp::PendingOperation *op)
 {
     if (op->isError()) {
         qWarning() << "Channel cannot become ready:" <<
             op->errorName() << "-" << op->errorMessage();
         return;
     }

     // Channel is now ready
 }

PendingOperation * Tp::Channel::groupAddContacts ( const QList< ContactPtr > &  contacts,
const QString &  message = QString() 
)

Add contacts to this channel.

Contacts on the local pending list (those waiting for permission to join the channel) can always be added. If groupCanAcceptContactsWithMessage() returns true, an optional message is expected when doing this; if not, the message parameter is likely to be ignored (so the user should not be asked for a message, and the message parameter should be left empty).

Other contacts can only be added if groupCanAddContacts() returns true. If groupCanAddContactsWithMessage() returns true, an optional message is expected when doing this, and if not, the message parameter is likely to be ignored.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Parameters:
contacts Contacts to be added.
message A string message, which can be blank if desired.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
true if a message is expected, false otherwise.
See also:
groupRemoveContacts()
bool Tp::Channel::groupCanDepartWithMessage (  )  const

PendingOperation * Tp::Channel::groupRemoveContacts ( const QList< ContactPtr > &  contacts,
const QString &  message = QString(),
uint  reason = ChannelGroupChangeReasonNone 
)

Remove contacts from this channel.

Contacts on the local pending list (those waiting for permission to join the channel) can always be removed. If groupCanRejectContactsWithMessage() returns true, an optional message is expected when doing this; if not, the message parameter is likely to be ignored (so the user should not be asked for a message, and the message parameter should be left empty).

The groupSelfContact() can also always be removed, as a way to leave the group with an optional departure message and/or departure reason indication. If groupCanDepartWithMessage() returns true, an optional message is expected when doing this, and if not, the message parameter is likely to be ignored.

Contacts in the group can only be removed (e.g. kicked) if groupCanRemoveContacts() returns true. If groupCanRemoveContactsWithMessage() returns true, an optional message is expected when doing this, and if not, the message parameter is likely to be ignored.

Contacts in the remote pending list (those who have been invited to the channel) can only be removed (have their invitations rescinded) if groupCanRescindContacts() returns true. If groupCanRescindContactsWithMessage() returns true, an optional message is expected when doing this, and if not, the message parameter is likely to be ignored.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Parameters:
contacts Contacts to be removed.
message A string message, which can be blank if desired.
reason Reason of the change, as specified in ChannelGroupChangeReason
Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the call has finished.
See also:
groupCanRemoveContacts()
Contacts Tp::Channel::groupContacts (  )  const

TODO: have parameters on these like Contacts groupContacts(bool includeSelfContact = true);

Return the current contacts of the group.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
List of contact of the group.
Contacts Tp::Channel::groupLocalPendingContacts (  )  const

Return the contacts currently waiting for local approval to join the group.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
List of contacts currently waiting for local approval to join the group.
Contacts Tp::Channel::groupRemotePendingContacts (  )  const

Return the contacts currently waiting for remote approval to join the group.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
List of contacts currently waiting for remote approval to join the group.
Channel::GroupMemberChangeDetails Tp::Channel::groupLocalPendingContactChangeInfo ( const ContactPtr &  contact  )  const

Return information of a local pending contact change. If no information is available, an object for which GroupMemberChangeDetails::isValid() returns false is returned.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Parameters:
contact A Contact object that is on the local pending contacts list.
Returns:
The change info in a GroupMemberChangeDetails object.
Channel::GroupMemberChangeDetails Tp::Channel::groupSelfContactRemoveInfo (  )  const

Return information on the removal of the local user from the group. If the user hasn't been removed from the group, an object for which GroupMemberChangeDetails::isValid() Return false is returned.

This method should be called only after the channel has been closed. This is useful for getting the remove information after missing the corresponding groupMembersChanged() signal, as the local user being removed usually causes the remote Channel to be closed.

The returned information is not guaranteed to be correct if groupIsSelfHandleTracked() Return false and a self handle change has occurred on the remote object.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
The remove info in a GroupMemberChangeDetails object.
bool Tp::Channel::groupAreHandleOwnersAvailable (  )  const

Return whether globally valid handles can be looked up using the channel-specific handle on this channel using this object.

Handle owner lookup is only available if:

If this function Return false, the return value of groupHandleOwners() is undefined and groupHandleOwnersChanged() will never be emitted.

The value returned by this function will stay fixed for the entire time the object is ready, so no change notification is provided.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
If handle owner lookup functionality is available.
HandleOwnerMap Tp::Channel::groupHandleOwners (  )  const

Return a mapping of handles specific to this channel to globally valid handles.

The mapping includes at least all of the channel-specific handles in this channel's members, local-pending and remote-pending sets as keys. Any handle not in the keys of this mapping is not channel-specific in this channel. Handles which are channel-specific, but for which the owner is unknown, appear in this mapping with 0 as owner.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
A mapping from group-specific handles to globally valid handles.
bool Tp::Channel::groupIsSelfContactTracked (  )  const

Return whether the value returned by groupSelfContact() is guaranteed to stay synchronized with what groupInterface()->GetSelfHandle() would return. Older services not providing group properties don't necessarily emit the SelfHandleChanged signal either, so self contact changes can't be reliably tracked.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
Whether or not changes to the self contact are tracked.
ContactPtr Tp::Channel::groupSelfContact (  )  const

Return a Contact object representing the user in the group if at all possible, otherwise a Contact object representing the user globally.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
A contact object representing the user.
bool Tp::Channel::hasConferenceInterface (  )  const

Return whether this channel implements the org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Conference interface.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Deprecated:
Use isConference() instead.
Returns:
true if the interface is supported, false otherwise.
bool Tp::Channel::isConference (  )  const

Return whether this channel implements the org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Conference interface.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
true if the interface is supported, false otherwise.
Contacts Tp::Channel::conferenceInitialInviteeContacts (  )  const

Return a list of contacts invited to this conference when it was created.

This method requires Channel::FeatureConferenceInitialInviteeContacts to be enabled.

Returns:
A list of contacts.
bool Tp::Channel::conferenceSupportsNonMerges (  )  const

Return whether requests to create a conference channel with InitialChannels omitted, empty, or one element long are expected to succeed.

If false, InitialChannels must be supplied in all requests for this channel class, and contain at least two channels.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Note that this method will always return false if the Channel supports the Conference interface, even if Conference.DRAFT is also supported.

Deprecated:
Use ConnectionCapabilities conference methods instead.
Returns:
Whether the channels supports non merges.
QList< ChannelPtr > Tp::Channel::conferenceChannels (  )  const

Return the individual channels that are part of this conference.

Change notification is via the conferenceChannelMerged and conferenceChannelRemoved signals.

Note that the returned channels are not guaranteed to be ready. Calling Channel::becomeReady() may be needed.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
A List of individual channels that are part of this conference.
QList< ChannelPtr > Tp::Channel::conferenceInitialChannels (  )  const

Return the initial value of conferenceChannels().

Note that the returned channels are not guaranteed to be ready. Calling Channel::becomeReady() may be needed.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
A list of individual channels that were initially part of this conference.
QHash< uint, ChannelPtr > Tp::Channel::conferenceOriginalChannels (  )  const

Return a map between channel specific handles and the corresponding channels of this conference.

This method is only relevant on GSM conference calls where it is possible to have the same phone number in a conference twice; for instance, it could be the number of a corporate switchboard. This is represented using channel-specific handles; whether or not a channel uses channel-specific handles is reported in groupFlags(). The groupHandleOwners() specifies the mapping from opaque channel-specific handles to actual numbers; this property specifies the original 1-1 channel corresponding to each channel-specific handle in the conference.

In protocols where this situation cannot arise, such as XMPP, this method will return an empty hash.

Example, consider this situation: 1. Place a call (with path /call/to/simon) to the contact +441234567890 (which is assigned the handle h, say), and ask to be put through to Simon McVittie; 2. Put that call on hold; 3. Place another call (with path /call/to/jonny) to +441234567890, and ask to be put through to Jonny Lamb; 4. Request a new conference channel with initial channels: ['/call/to/simon', '/call/to/jonny'].

The new channel will have the following properties, for some handles s and j:

{ groupFlags(): ChannelGroupFlagChannelSpecificHandles | (other flags), groupMembers(): [self handle, s, j], groupHandleOwners(): { s: h, j: h }, conferenceInitialChannels(): ['/call/to/simon', '/call/to/jonny'], conferenceChannels(): ['/call/to/simon', '/call/to/jonny'], conferenceOriginalChannels(): { s: '/call/to/simon', j: '/call/to/jonny' }, # ... }

Note that the returned channels are not guaranteed to be ready. Calling Channel::becomeReady() may be needed.

This method requires Channel::FeatureCore to be enabled.

Returns:
A map of channel specific handles to channels.
