ItemMonitor Class Reference

from PyKDE4.akonadi import *

Namespace: Akonadi

Detailed Description

A convenience class to monitor a single item for changes.

This class can be used as a base class for classes that want to show a single item to the user and keep track of status changes of the item without having to using a Monitor object themself.

Example:


 // A label that shows the name of a contact item

 class ContactLabel : public QLabel, public Akonadi.ItemMonitor
 {
   public:
     ContactLabel( QWidget *parent = 0 )
       : QLabel( parent )
     {
       setText( "No Name" );
     }

   protected:
     virtual void itemChanged( const Akonadi.Item &item )
     {
       if ( item.mimeType() != "text/directory" )
         return;

       const KABC.Addressee addr = item.payload<KABC.Addressee>();
       setText( addr.fullName() );
     }

     virtual void itemRemoved()
     {
       setText( "No Name" );
     }
 };

 ...

 ContactLabel *label = new ContactLabel( this );

 const Akonadi.Item item = fetchJob->items().first();
 label->setItem( item );

Method Documentation

__init__ (   self )

Creates a new item monitor.

Akonadi.ItemFetchScope fetchScope (   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:
setFetchScope() for replacing the current item fetch scope

Akonadi.Item item (   self )

Returns the currently monitored item.

itemChanged (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item
)

This method is called whenever the monitored item has changed.

Parameters:
item  The changed item.

itemRemoved (   self )

This method is called whenever the monitored item has been removed.

setFetchScope (  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:
fetchScope()

setItem (  self,
Akonadi.Item  item
)

Sets the item that shall be monitored.
