Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| Akonadi.Entity | other | |||
| ) |
Creates an entity from an other entity.
| addAttribute | ( | self, | ||
| Akonadi.Attribute | attribute | |||
| ) |
Adds an attribute to the entity.
If an attribute of the same type name already exists, it is deleted and replaced with the new one.
- Parameters:
-
attribute The new attribute.
- Note:
- The entity takes the ownership of the attribute.
| Akonadi.Attribute attribute | ( | self, | ||
| QByteArray | name | |||
| ) |
Returns the attribute of the requested type or 0 if it is not available.
| [Akonadi.Attribute] attributes | ( | self ) |
Returns a list of all attributes of the entity.
| clearAttributes | ( | self ) |
Removes and deletes all attributes of the entity.
| bool hasAttribute | ( | self, | ||
| QByteArray | name | |||
| ) |
Returns whether the entity has an attribute of the requested type.
| long id | ( | self ) |
Returns the unique identifier of the entity.
| bool isValid | ( | self ) |
Returns whether the entity is valid.
| bool operator != | ( | self, | ||
| Akonadi.Entity | other | |||
| ) |
Returns whether the entity's id does not equal the id of the other entity.
| bool operator == | ( | self, | ||
| Akonadi.Entity | other | |||
| ) |
Returns whether the entity's id equals the id of the other entity.
| Akonadi.Collection parentCollection | ( | self ) |
Returns a reference to the parent collection of this object.
- Note:
- This will of course only return a useful value if it was explictly retrieved from the Akonadi server.
- Since:
- 4.4
| QString remoteId | ( | self ) |
Returns the remote id of the entity.
| QString remoteRevision | ( | self ) |
Returns the remote revision of the entity.
- Note:
- This method is supposed to be used by resources only.
- Since:
- 4.5
| removeAttribute | ( | self, | ||
| QByteArray | name | |||
| ) |
Removes and deletes the attribute of the requested type.
| setId | ( | self, | ||
| long | identifier | |||
| ) |
Sets the unique identifier of the entity.
| setParentCollection | ( | self, | ||
| Akonadi.Collection | parent | |||
| ) |
Set the parent collection of this object.
- Note:
- Calling this method has no immediate effect for the object itself, such as being moved to another collection. It is mainly relevant to provide a context for RID-based operations inside resources.
- Parameters:
-
parent The parent collection.
- Since:
- 4.4
| setRemoteId | ( | self, | ||
| QString | id | |||
| ) |
Sets the remote id of the entity.
| setRemoteRevision | ( | self, | ||
| QString | revision | |||
| ) |
Sets the remote revision of the entity.
The remote revision can be used by resources to store some revision information of the backend to detect changes there.
- Note:
- This method is supposed to be used by resources only.
- Since:
- 4.5
