Detailed Description

This is an abstract base class which defines an interface to which Plasma's Applet Loading logic can communicate with a parent application. The plugin loader must be set before any plugins are loaded, otherwise (for safety reasons), the default PluginLoader implementation will be used. The reimplemented version should not do more than simply returning a loaded plugin. It should not init() it, and it should not hang on to it. The associated methods will be called only when a component of Plasma needs to load a new plugin. (e.g. DataEngine does its own caching).

Member Function Documentation

◆ appletCategory()

QString Plasma::PluginLoader::appletCategory ( const QString & appletName )

Get the category of the given applet.

Parameters

appletName the name of the applet

Definition at line 613 of file pluginloader.cpp.

◆ customAppletCategories()

QStringList Plasma::PluginLoader::customAppletCategories ( ) const

Returns: the list of custom categories known to libplasma

Since: 4.3

Definition at line 608 of file pluginloader.cpp.

◆ internalAppletInfo()

KPluginInfo::List Plasma::PluginLoader::internalAppletInfo ( const QString & category ) const

protectedvirtual

A re-implementable method that allows subclasses to provide additional applets for listAppletInfo.

If the application has no applets to give to the application, then the implementation should return an empty list.

This method is called by listAppletInfo prior to generating the list of applets installed on the system using the standard Plasma plugin mechanisms, and will try to find .desktop files for your applets.

Parameters

category Only applets matching this category will be returned. If "Misc" is passed in, then applets without a Categories= entry are also returned. If an empty string is passed in, all applets are returned.

Returns: list of applets

Deprecated:: Since 5.86, deprecated for lack of usage, use default behaviour instead

		const QVariantList &	args = `QVariantList()`
	)

protectedvirtual

A re-implementable method that allows subclasses to override the default behaviour of loadApplet.

If the applet requested is not recognized, then the implementation should return a NULL pointer. This method is called by loadApplet prior to attempting to load an applet using the standard Plasma plugin mechanisms.

Parameters

name	the plugin name, as returned by KPluginInfo::pluginName()

		const QVariantList &	args
	)

protectedvirtual

A re-implementable method that allows subclasses to override the default behaviour of loadContainmentActions.

If the ContainmentActions requested is not recognized, then the implementation should return a NULL pointer. This method is called by loadService prior to attempting to load a Service using the standard Plasma plugin mechanisms.

Returns a pointer to the containmentactions if successful. The caller takes responsibility for the containmentactions, including deleting it when no longer needed.

Parameters

Parameters

name	the name of the engine

Returns: the data engine that was loaded, or the NullEngine on failure.

Deprecated:: Since 5.86, deprecated for lack of usage, use default behaviour instead
