Detailed Description

The base class for all jobs.

For all jobs created in an application, the code looks like

void SomeClass::methodWithAsynchronousJobCall()
{
  KJob *job = someoperation(some parameters);
  connect(job, &KJob::result, this, &SomeClass::handleResult);
  job->start();
}

(other connects, specific to the job)

And handleResult is usually at least:

void SomeClass::handleResult(KJob *job)
{
  if (job->error()) {
      doSomething();
  }
}

With the synchronous interface the code looks like

void SomeClass::methodWithSynchronousJobCall()
{
  KJob *job = someoperation( some parameters );
  if (!job->exec()) {
      // An error occurred
  } else {
      // Do something
  }
}

Subclasses must implement start(), which should trigger the execution of the job (although the work should be done asynchronously). errorString() should also be reimplemented by any subclasses that introduce new error codes.

Note: KJob and its subclasses are meant to be used in a fire-and-forget way. Jobs will delete themselves when they finish using deleteLater() (although this behaviour can be changed), so a job instance will disappear after the next event loop run.

◆ doKill()

bool KJob::doKill ( )

protectedvirtual

Aborts this job quietly.

This simply kills the job, no error reporting or job deletion should be involved.

Returns: true if the operation is supported and succeeded, false otherwise

Reimplemented in KIO::Job, KIO::SimpleJob, Akonadi::Job, and MailTransport::PrecommandJob.

Definition at line 156 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ doResume()

protectedvirtual

Suspends this job.

Returns: true if the operation is supported and succeeded, false otherwise

Reimplemented in KIO::CopyJob, KIO::Job, and KIO::SimpleJob.

Definition at line 161 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ emitPercent()

void KJob::emitPercent	(	qulonglong	processedAmount,
		qulonglong	totalAmount )

protected

Utility function for inherited jobs.

Emits the percent signal if bigger than previous value, after calculating it from the parameters.

Parameters

processedAmount	the processed amount
totalAmount	the total amount

See also: percent()

Definition at line 333 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ emitResult()

void KJob::emitResult ( )

protected

Utility function to emit the result signal, and end this job.

It first notifies the observers to hide the progress for this job using the finished() signal.

Note: Deletes this job using deleteLater().

See also: result(); finished()

Definition at line 326 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ emitSpeed()

void KJob::emitSpeed ( unsigned long speed )

protected

Utility function for inherited jobs.

Emits the speed signal and starts the timer for removing that info

Parameters

speed the speed in bytes/s

Definition at line 340 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ error()

int KJob::error ( ) const

Returns the error code, if there has been an error.

Only call this method from the slot connected to result().

Returns: the error code for this job, 0 if no error.

Definition at line 206 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ errorString()

QString KJob::errorString ( ) const

virtual

A human-readable error message.

This provides a translated, human-readable description of the error. Only call if error is not 0.

Subclasses should implement this to create a translated error message from the error code and error text. For example:

if (error() == ReadFailed) {
  i18n("Could not read \"%1\"", errorText());
}

Returns: a translated error message, providing error() is 0

Reimplemented in Akonadi::Job, and KIO::Job.

Definition at line 216 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ errorText()

QString KJob::errorText ( ) const

Returns the error text if there has been an error.

Only call if error is not 0.

This is usually some extra data associated with the error, such as a URL. Use errorString() to get a human-readable, translated message.

Returns: a string to help understand the error

Definition at line 211 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ exec()

bool KJob::exec ( )

Executes the job synchronously.

This will start a nested QEventLoop internally. Nested event loop can be dangerous and can have unintended side effects, you should avoid calling exec() whenever you can and use the asynchronous interface of KJob instead.

Should you indeed call this method, you need to make sure that all callers are reentrant, so that events delivered by the inner event loop don't cause non-reentrant functions to be called, which usually wreaks havoc.

Note that the event loop started by this method does not process user input events, which means your user interface will effectively be blocked. Other events like paint or network events are still being processed. The advantage of not processing user input events is that the chance of accidental reentrance is greatly reduced. Still you should avoid calling this function.

Returns: true if the job has been executed without error, false otherwise

Definition at line 177 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ finished

void KJob::finished ( KJob * job )

signal

Emitted when the job is finished, in any case.

It is used to notify observers that the job is terminated and that progress can be hidden.

Since 5.75 this signal is guaranteed to be emitted exactly once.

This is a private signal, it can't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob, use emitResult() instead.

In general, to be notified of a job's completion, client code should connect to result() rather than finished(), so that kill(Quietly) is indeed quiet. However if you store a list of jobs and they might get killed silently, then you must connect to this instead of result(), to avoid dangling pointers in your list.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal

See also: result

◆ infoMessage

void KJob::infoMessage	(	KJob *	job,
		const QString &	message )

signal

Emitted to display state information about this job.

Examples of message are "Resolving host", "Connecting to host...", etc.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal
message	the info message

◆ isAutoDelete()

bool KJob::isAutoDelete ( ) const

Returns whether this job automatically deletes itself once the job is finished.

Returns: whether the job is deleted automatically after finishing.

Definition at line 363 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ isFinished()

bool KJob::isFinished ( ) const

protected

Returns if the job has been finished and has emitted the finished() signal.

Returns: if the job has been finished

See also: finished()

Since: 5.75

Definition at line 246 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ isFinishedNotificationHidden()

bool KJob::isFinishedNotificationHidden ( ) const

Whether to not show a finished notification when a job's finished signal is emitted.

See also: setFinishedNotificationHidden()

Since: 5.92

Definition at line 381 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ isStartedWithExec()

bool KJob::isStartedWithExec ( ) const

Returns true if this job was started with exec(), which starts a nested event-loop (with QEventLoop::ExcludeUserInputEvents, which blocks the GUI), otherwise returns false which indicates this job was started asynchronously with start().

This is useful for code that for example shows a dialog to ask the user a question, and that would be no-op since the user cannot interact with the dialog.

Since: 5.95

Definition at line 387 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ isSuspended()

bool KJob::isSuspended ( ) const

Returns if the job was suspended with the suspend() call.

Returns: if the job was suspended

See also: suspend() resume()

Definition at line 79 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ kill

bool KJob::kill ( KJob::KillVerbosity verbosity = KJob::Quietly )

slot

Aborts this job.

This kills and deletes the job.

Parameters

verbosity if equals to EmitResult, Job will emit signal result and ask uiserver to close the progress window. verbosity is set to EmitResult for subjobs. Whether applications should call with Quietly or EmitResult depends on whether they rely on result being emitted or not. Please notice that if verbosity is set to Quietly, signal result will NOT be emitted.

Returns: true if the operation is supported and succeeded, false otherwise

Definition at line 106 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ percent()

unsigned long KJob::percent ( ) const

Returns the overall progress of this job.

Returns: the overall progress of this job

Definition at line 241 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ percentChanged

void KJob::percentChanged	(	KJob *	job,
		unsigned long	percent )

signal

Progress signal showing the overall progress of the job.

This is valid for any kind of job, and allows using a progress bar very easily. (see KProgressBar).

Note that this signal is not emitted for finished jobs.

Note: This is a private signal, it shouldn't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob, use emitPercent(), setPercent() setTotalAmount() or setProcessedAmount() instead.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal
percent	the percentage

Since: 5.80

◆ processedAmount()

qulonglong KJob::processedAmount ( Unit unit ) const

Returns the processed amount of a given unit for this job.

Parameters

unit	the unit of the requested amount

Returns: the processed size

Definition at line 221 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ processedAmountChanged

void KJob::processedAmountChanged	(	KJob *	job,
		KJob::Unit	unit,
		qulonglong	amount )

signal

Regularly emitted to show the progress of this job by giving the current amount.

The unit of this amount is sent too. It can be emitted several times if the job manages several different units.

Note: This is a private signal, it shouldn't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob, use setProcessedAmount() instead.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal
unit	the unit of the processed amount
amount	the processed amount

Since: 5.80

◆ processedSize

void KJob::processedSize	(	KJob *	job,
		qulonglong	size )

signal

Regularly emitted to show the progress of this job (current data size in bytes for transfers, entries listed, etc.).

Note: This is a private signal, it shouldn't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob, use setProcessedAmount() instead.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal
size	the processed size

◆ result

void KJob::result ( KJob * job )

signal

Emitted when the job is finished (except when killed with KJob::Quietly).

Since 5.75 this signal is guaranteed to be emitted at most once.

Use error to know if the job was finished with error.

This is a private signal, it can't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob, use emitResult() instead.

Please connect to this signal instead of finished.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal

See also: kill

◆ resume

bool KJob::resume ( )

slot

Resumes this job.

Returns: true if the operation is supported and succeeded, false otherwise

Definition at line 141 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ resumed

void KJob::resumed ( KJob * job )

signal

Emitted when the job is resumed.

This is a private signal, it can't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal

◆ setAutoDelete()

void KJob::setAutoDelete ( bool autodelete )

Sets the auto-delete property of the job.

If autodelete is set to false the job will not delete itself once it is finished.

The default for any KJob is to automatically delete itself, which implies that the job was created on the heap (using new). If the job is created on the stack (which isn't the typical use-case for a job) then you must set auto-delete to false, otherwise you could get a crash when the job finishes and tries to delete itself.

Note: If you set auto-delete to false then you need to kill the job manually, ideally by calling kill().

Parameters

autodelete set to false to disable automatic deletion of the job.

Definition at line 369 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setCapabilities()

void KJob::setCapabilities ( KJob::Capabilities capabilities )

protected

Sets the capabilities for this job.

Parameters

capabilities are the capabilities supported by this job

See also: capabilities()

Definition at line 171 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setError()

void KJob::setError ( int errorCode )

protected

Sets the error code.

It should be called when an error is encountered in the job, just before calling emitResult().

You should define an (anonymous) enum of error codes, with values starting at KJob::UserDefinedError, and use those. For example,

enum {
  InvalidFoo = UserDefinedError,
  BarNotFound,
};

Parameters

errorCode the error code

See also: emitResult()

Definition at line 251 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setErrorText()

void KJob::setErrorText ( const QString & errorText )

protected

Sets the error text.

It should be called when an error is encountered in the job, just before calling emitResult().

Provides extra information about the error that cannot be determined directly from the error code. For example, a URL or filename. This string is not normally translatable.

Parameters

errorText the error text

See also: emitResult(), errorString(), setError()

Definition at line 257 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setFinishedNotificationHidden()

void KJob::setFinishedNotificationHidden ( bool hide = true )

This method can be used to indicate to classes listening to signals from a job that they should ideally show a progress bar, but not a finished notification.

For example when opening a remote URL, a job will emit the progress of the download, which can be used to show a progress dialog or a Plasma notification, then when the job is done it'll emit e.g. the finished signal. Showing the user the progress dialog is useful, however the dialog/notification about the download being finished isn't of much interest, because the user can see the application that invoked the job opening the actual file that was downloaded.

Since: 5.92

Definition at line 375 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setPercent()

void KJob::setPercent ( unsigned long percentage )

protected

Sets the overall progress of the job.

The percent() signal is emitted if the value changed.

The job takes care of this if you call setProcessedAmount in Bytes (or the unit set by setProgressUnit). This method allows you to set your own progress, as an alternative.

Parameters

percentage the new overall progress

Definition at line 317 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setProcessedAmount()

void KJob::setProcessedAmount	(	Unit	unit,
		qulonglong	amount )

protected

Sets the processed size.

The processedAmount() and percent() signals are emitted if the values changed. The percent() signal is emitted only for the progress unit.

Parameters

unit	the unit of the new processed amount
amount	the new processed amount

Definition at line 263 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setProgressUnit()

void KJob::setProgressUnit ( Unit unit )

protected

Sets the unit that will be used internally to calculate the progress percentage.

The default progress unit is Bytes.

Since: 5.76

Definition at line 311 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setTotalAmount()

void KJob::setTotalAmount	(	Unit	unit,
		qulonglong	amount )

protected

Sets the total size.

The totalSize() and percent() signals are emitted if the values changed. The percent() signal is emitted only for the progress unit.

Parameters

unit	the unit of the new total amount
amount	the new total amount

Definition at line 287 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ setUiDelegate()

void KJob::setUiDelegate ( KJobUiDelegate * delegate )

Attach a UI delegate to this job.

If the job had another UI delegate, it's automatically deleted. Once attached to the job, the UI delegate will be deleted with the job.

Parameters

delegate the new UI delegate to use

See also: KJobUiDelegate

Definition at line 53 of file kjob.cpp.

◆ speed

void KJob::speed	(	KJob *	job,
		unsigned long	speed )

signal

Emitted to display information about the speed of this job.

Note: This is a private signal, it shouldn't be emitted directly by subclasses of KJob, use emitSpeed() instead.

Parameters

job	the job that emitted this signal
speed	the speed in bytes/s

◆ start()

virtual Q_SCRIPTABLE void KJob::start ( )

pure virtual

Starts the job asynchronously.

When the job is finished, result() is emitted.

Warning: Never implement any synchronous workload in this method. This method should just trigger the job startup, not do any work itself. It is expected to be non-blocking.

This is the method all subclasses need to implement. It should setup and trigger the workload of the job. It should not do any work itself. This includes all signals and terminating the job, e.g. by emitResult(). The workload, which could be another method of the subclass, is to be triggered using the event loop, e.g. by code like:

void ExampleJob::start()
{
 QTimer::singleShot(0, this, &ExampleJob::doWork);
}

Implemented in KAuth::ExecuteJob, KDAV::DavCollectionDeleteJob, KDAV::DavCollectionModifyJob, KDAV::DavCollectionsFetchJob, KDAV::DavCollectionsMultiFetchJob, KDAV::DavItemCreateJob, KDAV::DavItemDeleteJob, KDAV::DavItemFetchJob, KDAV::DavItemModifyJob, KDAV::DavItemsFetchJob, KDAV::DavItemsListJob, KDAV::DavPrincipalHomeSetsFetchJob, KDAV::DavPrincipalSearchJob, KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob, KIO::CommandLauncherJob, KIO::DeleteOrTrashJob, KIO::FavIconRequestJob, KEMailClientLauncherJob, KTerminalLauncherJob, KIO::MimeTypeFinderJob, KIO::NameFinderJob, KIO::OpenFileManagerWindowJob, KIO::OpenUrlJob, Akonadi::AddContactJob, Akonadi::AddEmailAddressJob, Akonadi::ContactGroupExpandJob, Akonadi::OpenEmailAddressJob, Akonadi::MessageQueueJob, Akonadi::AgentInstanceCreateJob, Akonadi::Job, Akonadi::PartFetcher, Akonadi::RecursiveItemFetchJob, KDAV2::DavCollectionCreateJob, KDAV2::DavCollectionDeleteJob, KDAV2::DavCollectionFetchJob, KDAV2::DavCollectionModifyJob, KDAV2::DavCollectionsFetchJob, KDAV2::DavCollectionsMultiFetchJob, KDAV2::DavDiscoveryJob, KDAV2::DavItemCreateJob, KDAV2::DavItemDeleteJob, KDAV2::DavItemFetchJob, KDAV2::DavItemModifyJob, KDAV2::DavItemsFetchJob, KDAV2::DavItemsListJob, KDAV2::DavPrincipalHomeSetsFetchJob, KDAV2::DavPrincipalSearchJob, MailTransport::PrecommandJob, MailTransport::TransportJob, MessageComposer::AliasesExpandJob, MessageCore::AttachmentCompressJob, MessageCore::AttachmentLoadJob, MessageComposer::ContentJobBase, MessageComposer::DistributionListExpandJob, MessageComposer::EmailAddressResolveJob, and KListOpenFilesJob.

◆ suspend

bool KJob::suspend ( )

slot
