Monitor Class Reference

from PyKDE4.akonadi import *

Inherits: QObject
Subclasses: Akonadi.ChangeRecorder
Namespace: Akonadi

Detailed Description

Monitors an item or collection for changes.

The Monitor emits signals if some of these objects are changed or removed or new ones are added to the Akonadi storage.

Optionally, the changed objects can be fetched automatically from the server. To enable this, see fetchCollection(), fetchItemMetaData(), fetchItemData().

@todo: distinguish between monitoring collection properties and collection content. @todo: special case for collection content counts changed

Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
QObject  parent=0
)

Creates a new monitor.

Parameters:
parent  The parent object.

__init__ (  self,
MonitorPrivate  d,
QObject  parent=0
)
collectionAdded (  self,
Akonadi.Collection  collection,
Akonadi.Collection  parent
)

This signal is emitted if a new collection has been added to a monitored collection in the Akonadi storage.

Parameters:
collection  The new collection.
parent  The parent collection.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("collectionAdded(const Collection&, const Collection&)"), target_slot)
collectionChanged (  self,
Akonadi.Collection  collection
)

This signal is emitted if a monitored collection has been changed (properties or content) or has been reparented.

Parameters:
collection  The changed collection.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("collectionChanged(const Collection&)"), target_slot)
collectionRemoved (  self,
Akonadi.Collection  collection
)

This signal is emitted if a monitored collection has been removed from the Akonadi storage.

Parameters:
collection  The removed collection.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("collectionRemoved(const Collection&)"), target_slot)
collectionStatisticsChanged (  self,
Akonadi.Collection.Id  id,
Akonadi.CollectionStatistics  statistics
)

This signal is emitted if the statistics information of a monitored collection has changed.

Parameters:
id  The collection identifier of the changed collection.
statistics  The updated collection statistics, invalid if automatic fetching of statistics changes is disabled.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("collectionStatisticsChanged(Id, const CollectionStatistics&)"), target_slot)
fetchCollection (  self,
bool  enable
)

Enables automatic fetching of changed collections from the Akonadi storage.

Parameters:
enable  true enables automatic fetching, false disables automatic fetching.

fetchCollectionStatistics (  self,
bool  enable
)

Enables automatic fetching of changed collection statistics information from the Akonadi storage.

Parameters:
enable  true to enables automatic fetching, false disables automatic fetching.

ignoreSession (  self,
Akonadi.Session  session
)

Ignores all change notifications caused by the given session.

Parameters:
session  The session you want to ignore.

itemAdded (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item,
Akonadi.Collection  collection
)

This signal is emitted if an item has been added to a monitored collection in the Akonadi storage.

Parameters:
item  The new item.
collection  The collection the item has been added to.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("itemAdded(const Item&, const Collection&)"), target_slot)
itemChanged (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item,
QSet  partIdentifiers
)

This signal is emitted if a monitored item has changed, e.g. item parts have been modified.

Parameters:
item  The changed item.
partIdentifiers  The identifiers of the item parts that has been changed.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("itemChanged(const Item&, const QSet&)"), target_slot)
Akonadi.ItemFetchScope itemFetchScope (   self )

Returns the item fetch scope.

Since this returns a reference it can be used to conveniently modify the current scope in-place, i.e. by calling a method on the returned reference without storing it in a local variable. See the ItemFetchScope documentation for an example.

Returns:
a reference to the current item fetch scope

See also:
setItemFetchScope() for replacing the current item fetch scope

itemLinked (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item,
Akonadi.Collection  collection
)

This signal is emitted if a reference to an item is added to a virtual collection.

Parameters:
item  The linked item.
collection  The collection the item is linked to.

Since:
4.2

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("itemLinked(const Item&, const Collection&)"), target_slot)
itemMoved (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item,
Akonadi.Collection  collectionSource,
Akonadi.Collection  collectionDestination
)

This signal is emitted if a monitored item has been moved between two collections

Parameters:
item  The moved item.
collectionSource  The collection the item has been moved from.
collectionDestination  The collection the item has been moved to.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("itemMoved(const Item&, const Collection&, const Collection&)"), target_slot)
itemRemoved (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item
)

This signal is emitted if - a monitored item has been removed from the Akonadi storage or - a item has been removed from a monitored collection.

Parameters:
item  The removed item.

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("itemRemoved(const Item&)"), target_slot)
itemUnlinked (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item,
Akonadi.Collection  collection
)

This signal is emitted if a reference to an item is removed from a virtual collection.

Parameters:
item  The unlinked item.
collection  The collection the item is unlinked from.

Since:
4.2

Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("itemUnlinked(const Item&, const Collection&)"), target_slot)
setAllMonitored (  self,
bool  monitored=1
)

Sets whether all items shall be monitored.

setCollectionMonitored (  self,
Akonadi.Collection  collection,
bool  monitored=1
)

Sets whether the specified collection shall be monitored for changes.

Parameters:
collection  The collection to monitor. If this collection is Collection.root(), all collections in the Akonadi storage will be monitored.

setItemFetchScope (  self,
Akonadi.ItemFetchScope  fetchScope
)

Sets the item fetch scope.

Controls how much of an item's data is fetched from the server, e.g. whether to fetch the full item payload or only meta data.

Parameters:
fetchScope  The new scope for item fetch operations.

See also:
itemFetchScope()

setItemMonitored (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item,
bool  monitored=1
)

Sets whether the specified item shall be monitored for changes.

Parameters:
item  The item to monitor.

setMimeTypeMonitored (  self,
QString  mimetype,
bool  monitored=1
)

Sets whether objects of the specified mime type shall be monitored for changes.

Parameters:
mimetype  The mime type to monitor.

setResourceMonitored (  self,
QByteArray  resource,
bool  monitored=1
)

Sets whether the specified resource shall be monitored for changes.

Parameters:
resource  The resource identifier.
