Detailed Description

The base class for all Akonadi resources.

This class should be used as a base class by all resource agents, because it encapsulates large parts of the protocol between resource agent, agent manager and the Akonadi storage.

It provides many convenience methods to make implementing a new Akonadi resource agent as simple as possible.

How to write a resource

The following provides an overview of what you need to do to implement your own Akonadi resource. In the following, the term 'backend' refers to the entity the resource connects with Akonadi, be it a single file or a remote server.

Todo:: Complete this (online/offline state management)

Basic Resource Framework

The following is needed to create a new resource:

A new class deriving from Akonadi::ResourceBase, implementing at least all pure-virtual methods, see below for further details.
call init() in your main() function.
a .desktop file similar to the following example
[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Name=My Akonadi Resource

Type=AkonadiResource

Exec=akonadi_my_resource

Icon=my-icon

X-Akonadi-MimeTypes=<supported-mimetypes>

X-Akonadi-Capabilities=Resource

X-Akonadi-Identifier=akonadi_my_resource

Handling PIM Items

To follow item changes in the backend, the following steps are necessary:

Implement retrieveItems() to synchronize all items in the given collection. If the backend supports incremental retrieval, implementing support for that is recommended to improve performance.
Convert the items provided by the backend to Akonadi items. This typically happens either in retrieveItems() if you retrieved the collection synchronously (not recommended for network backends) or in the result slot of the asynchronous retrieval job. Converting means to create Akonadi::Item objects for every retrieved item. It's very important that every object has its remote identifier set.
Call itemsRetrieved() or itemsRetrievedIncremental() respectively with the item objects created above. The Akonadi storage will then be updated automatically. Note that it is usually not necessary to manipulate any item in the Akonadi storage manually.

To fetch item data on demand, the method retrieveItem() needs to be reimplemented. Fetch the requested data there and call itemRetrieved() with the result item.

To write local changes back to the backend, you need to re-implement the following three methods:

itemAdded()
itemChanged()
itemRemoved()

Note that these three functions don't get the full payload of the items by default, you need to change the item fetch scope of the change recorder to fetch the full payload. This can be expensive with big payloads, though.
Once you have handled changes in these methods, call changeCommitted(). These methods are called whenever a local item related to this resource is added, modified or deleted. They are only called if the resource is online, otherwise all changes are recorded and replayed as soon the resource is online again.

Handling Collections

To follow collection changes in the backend, the following steps are necessary:

Implement retrieveCollections() to retrieve collections from the backend. If the backend supports incremental collections updates, implementing support for that is recommended to improve performance.
Convert the collections of the backend to Akonadi collections. This typically happens either in retrieveCollections() if you retrieved the collection synchronously (not recommended for network backends) or in the result slot of the asynchronous retrieval job. Converting means to create Akonadi::Collection objects for every retrieved collection. It's very important that every object has its remote identifier and its parent remote identifier set.
Call collectionsRetrieved() or collectionsRetrievedIncremental() respectively with the collection objects created above. The Akonadi storage will then be updated automatically. Note that it is usually not necessary to manipulate any collection in the Akonadi storage manually.

To write local collection changes back to the backend, you need to re-implement the following three methods:

collectionAdded()
collectionChanged()
collectionRemoved() Once you have handled changes in these methods call changeCommitted(). These methods are called whenever a local collection related to this resource is added, modified or deleted. They are only called if the resource is online, otherwise all changes are recorded and replayed as soon the resource is online again.

Definition at line 1035 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::itemsRetrieved ( const Item::List & items )

protected

Call this method to supply the full collection listing from the remote server.

Items not present in the list will be dropped from the Akonadi database.

If the remote server supports incremental listing, it's strongly recommended to use itemsRetrievedIncremental() instead.

Parameters

items A list of items.

See also: itemsRetrievedIncremental().

Definition at line 1213 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::itemsRetrievedIncremental	(	const Item::List &	changedItems,
		const Item::List &	removedItems
	)

protected

Call this method to supply incrementally retrieved items from the remote server.

Parameters

name	The new name of the resource.

void ResourceBase::retrieveCollectionAttributes ( const Akonadi::Collection & collection )

protectedslot

Retrieve the attributes of a single collection from the backend.

The collection to retrieve attributes for is provided as collection. Add the attributes parts and call collectionAttributesRetrieved() when done.

Parameters

collection The collection whose attributes should be retrieved.

See also: collectionAttributesRetrieved()

Since: 4.6

Definition at line 1296 of file resourcebase.cpp.

virtual void Akonadi::ResourceBase::retrieveCollections ( )

protectedpure virtualslot

Retrieve the collection tree from the remote server and supply it via collectionsRetrieved() or collectionsRetrievedIncremental().

See also: collectionsRetrieved(), collectionsRetrievedIncremental()

virtual bool Akonadi::ResourceBase::retrieveItem	(	const Akonadi::Item &	item,
		const QSet< QByteArray > &	parts
	)

protectedpure virtualslot

Retrieve a single item from the backend.

The item to retrieve is provided as item. Add the requested payload parts and call itemRetrieved() when done.

Parameters

item	The empty item whose payload should be retrieved. Use this object when delivering the result instead of creating a new item to ensure conflict detection will work.
parts	The item parts that should be retrieved.

Returns: false if there is an immediate error when retrieving the item.

See also: itemRetrieved()

virtual void Akonadi::ResourceBase::retrieveItems ( const Akonadi::Collection & collection )

protectedpure virtualslot

Retrieve all (new/changed) items in collection collection.

It is recommended to use incremental retrieval if the backend supports that and provide the result by calling itemsRetrievedIncremental(). If incremental retrieval is not possible, provide the full listing by calling itemsRetrieved( const Item::List& ). In any case, ensure that all items have a correctly set remote identifier to allow synchronizing with items already existing locally. In case you don't want to use the built-in item syncing code, store the retrieved items manually and call itemsRetrieved() once you are done.

Parameters

collection The collection whose items to retrieve.

See also: itemsRetrieved( const Item::List& ), itemsRetrievedIncremental(), itemsRetrieved(), currentCollection(), batchSize()

void Akonadi::ResourceBase::retrieveNextItemSyncBatch ( int remainingBatchSize )

signal

Emitted when the item synchronization processed the current batch and is ready for a new one.

Use this to throttle the delivery to not overload Akonadi.

Throttling can be used during item retrieval (retrieveItems(Akonadi::Collection)) in streaming mode. To throttle only deliver itemSyncBatchSize() items, and wait for this signal, then again deliver

Parameters

remainingBatchSize items.

By always only providing the number of items required to process the batch, the items don't pile up in memory and items are only provided as fast as Akonadi can process them.

See also: batchSize()

Since: 4.14

void ResourceBase::scheduleCustomTask	(	QObject *	receiver,
		const char *	method,
		const QVariant &	argument,
		SchedulePriority	priority = `Append`
	)

protected

Schedules a custom task in the internal scheduler.

It will be queued with all other tasks such as change replays and retrieval requests and eventually executed by calling the specified method. With the priority parameter the time of execution of the Task can be influenced.

See also: SchedulePriority

Parameters

receiver	The object the slot should be called on.
method	The name of the method (and only the name, not signature, not SLOT(...) macro), that should be called to execute this task. The method has to be a slot and take a QVariant as argument.
argument	A QVariant argument passed to the method specified above. Use this to pass task parameters.
priority	Priority of the task. Use this to influence the position in the execution queue.

Since: 4.4

Definition at line 1284 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setAutomaticProgressReporting ( bool enabled )

Enable or disable automatic progress reporting.

By default, it is enabled. When enabled, the resource will automatically emit the signals percent() and status() while syncing items or collections.

The automatic progress reporting is done on a per item / per collection basis, so if a finer granularity is desired, automatic reporting should be disabled and the subclass should emit the percent() and status() signals itself.

Parameters

enabled Whether or not automatic emission of the signals is enabled.

Since: 4.7

Definition at line 1326 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setCollectionStreamingEnabled ( bool enable )

protected

Enable collection streaming, that is collections don't have to be delivered at once as result of a retrieveCollections() call but can be delivered by multiple calls to collectionsRetrieved() or collectionsRetrievedIncremental().

When all collections have been retrieved, call collectionsRetrievalDone().

Parameters

enable true if collection streaming should be enabled, false by default

Definition at line 824 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setDisableAutomaticItemDeliveryDone ( bool disable )

protected

Disables the automatic completion of the item sync, based on the number of delivered items.

This ensures that the item sync only finishes once itemsRetrieved() is called, while still making it possible to use the automatic progress reporting based on setTotalItems().

Note: This needs to be called once, before the item sync started.

See also: setTotalItems(int)

Since: 4.14

Definition at line 1195 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setHierarchicalRemoteIdentifiersEnabled ( bool enable )

protected

Indicate the use of hierarchical remote identifiers.

This means that it is possible to have two different items with the same remoteId in different Collections.

This should be called in the resource constructor as needed.

Parameters

enable whether to enable use of hierarchical remote identifiers

Since: 4.4

Definition at line 1278 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setItemMergingMode ( ItemSync::MergeMode mode )

protected

Set merge mode for item sync'ing.

Default merge mode is RIDMerge.

Note: This method must be called before first call to itemRetrieved(), itemsRetrieved() or itemsRetrievedIncremental().

Parameters

mode	Item merging mode (see ItemCreateJob for details on item merging)

See also: Akonadi::ItemSync::MergeMode 4.14.11

Definition at line 1320 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setItemStreamingEnabled ( bool enable )

protected

Enable item streaming.

Item streaming is disabled by default.

Parameters

enable true if items are delivered in chunks rather in one big block.

Definition at line 1204 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setItemSyncBatchSize ( int batchSize )

protectedslot

Set the batch size used during the item sync.

The default is 10.

See also: retrieveNextItemSyncBatch(int)

Since: 4.14

Definition at line 945 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setItemSynchronizationFetchScope ( const ItemFetchScope & fetchScope )

protected

Set the fetch scope applied for item synchronization.

By default, the one set on the changeRecorder() is used. However, it can make sense to specify a specialized fetch scope for synchronization to improve performance. The rule of thumb is to remove anything from this fetch scope that does not provide additional information regarding whether and item has changed or not. This is primarily relevant for backends not supporting incremental retrieval.

Parameters

fetchScope The fetch scope to use by the internal Akonadi::ItemSync instance.

See also: Akonadi::ItemSync

Since: 4.6

Definition at line 1311 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setItemTransactionMode ( ItemSync::TransactionMode mode )

protected

Set transaction mode for item sync'ing.

Parameters

mode	item transaction mode

See also: Akonadi::ItemSync::TransactionMode

Since: 4.6

Definition at line 1305 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setKeepLocalCollectionChanges ( const QSet< QByteArray > & parts )

protected

Allows to keep locally changed collection parts during the collection sync.

This is useful for resources to be able to provide default values during the collection sync, while preserving eventual more up-to date values.

Valid values are attribute types and "CONTENTMIMETYPE" for the collections content mimetypes.

By default this is enabled for the EntityDisplayAttribute.

Parameters

parts A set parts for which local changes should be preserved.

Since: 4.14

Definition at line 857 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setName ( const QString & name )

This method is used to set the name of the resource.

Definition at line 537 of file resourcebase.cpp.

void ResourceBase::setTotalItems ( int amount )

protected

Call this method when you want to use the itemsRetrieved() method in streaming mode and indicate the amount of items that will arrive that way.
