RecursiveItemFetchJob Class Reference

from PyKDE4.akonadi import *

Inherits: KJob → QObject
Namespace: Akonadi

Detailed Description

Job that fetches all items of a collection recursive.

This job takes a collection as argument and returns a list of all items that are part of the passed collection and its child collections. The items to fetch can be filtered by mime types and the parts of the items that shall be fetched can be specified via an ItemFetchScope.

Example:


 // Assume the following Akonadi storage tree structure:
 //
 // Root Collection
 // |
 // +- Contacts
 // |  |
 // |  +- Private
 // |  |
 // |  `- Business
 // |
 // `- Events
 //
 // Collection 'Contacts' has the ID 15, then the following code
 // returns all contact items from 'Contacts', 'Private' and 'Business'.

 const Akonadi.Collection contactsCollection( 15 );
 const QStringList mimeTypes = QStringList() << KABC.Addressee.mimeType();

 Akonadi.RecursiveItemFetchJob *job = new Akonadi.RecursiveItemFetchJob( contactsCollection, mimeTypes );
 job->fetchScope().fetchFullPayload();
 connect( job, SIGNAL( result( KJob* ) ), this, SLOT( fetchResult( KJob* ) ) );

 job->start();

 ...

 MyClass.fetchResult( KJob *job )
 {
   Akonadi.RecursiveItemFetchJob *fetchJob = qobject_cast<Akonadi.RecursiveItemFetchJob*>( job );
   const Akonadi.Item.List items = fetchJob->items();
   // do something with the items
 }

Methods

 __init__ (self, Akonadi.Collection collection, QStringList mimeTypes, QObject parent=0)

Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
Akonadi.Collection  collection,
QStringList  mimeTypes,
QObject  parent=0
)

Creates a new recursive item fetch job.

Parameters:
collection  The collection that shall be fetched recursive.
mimeTypes  The list of mime types that will be used for filtering.
parent  The parent object.

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] items (   self )

Returns the list of fetched items.

setFetchScope (  self,
Akonadi.ItemFetchScope  fetchScope
)

Sets the item fetch scope.

The ItemFetchScope 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()

start (   self )

Starts the recursive item fetch job.
