GenericInterface Class Reference
from PyKDE4.solid import *
Inherits: Solid.DeviceInterface → QObject
Namespace: Solid
Detailed Description
Generic interface to deal with a device. It exposes a set of properties and is organized as a key/value set.
Warning: Using this class could expose some backend specific details and lead to non portable code. Use it at your own risk, or during transitional phases when the provided device interfaces don't provide the necessary methods.
Enumerations | |
| PropertyChange | { PropertyModified, PropertyAdded, PropertyRemoved } |
Signals | |
| conditionRaised (QString condition, QString reason) | |
Methods | |
| __init__ (self, QObject backendObject) | |
| {QString:QVariant} | allProperties (self) |
| QVariant | property (self, QString key) |
| bool | propertyExists (self, QString key) |

Signal Documentation
| conditionRaised | ( | QString | condition, | |
| QString | reason | |||
| ) |
This signal is emitted when an event occurred in the device. For example when a button is pressed.
- Parameters:
-
condition the condition name reason a message explaining why the condition has been raised
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("conditionRaised(const QString&, const QString&)"), target_slot)
Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| QObject | backendObject | |||
| ) |
Creates a new GenericInterface object. You generally won't need this. It's created when necessary using Device.as().
- Parameters:
-
backendObject the device interface object provided by the backend
- See also:
- Solid.Device.as()
| {QString:QVariant} allProperties | ( | self ) |
Retrieves a key/value map of all the known properties for the device.
Warning: Using this method could expose some backend specific details and lead to non portable code. Use it at your own risk, or during transitional phases when the provided device interfaces don't provide the necessary methods.
- Returns:
- all the properties of the device
| QVariant property | ( | self, | ||
| QString | key | |||
| ) |
Retrieves a property of the device.
Warning: Using this method could expose some backend specific details and lead to non portable code. Use it at your own risk, or during transitional phases when the provided device interfaces don't provide the necessary methods.
- Parameters:
-
key the property key
- Returns:
- the actual value of the property, or QVariant() if the property is unknown
| bool propertyExists | ( | self, | ||
| QString | key | |||
| ) |
Tests if a property exist in the device.
Warning: Using this method could expose some backend specific details and lead to non portable code. Use it at your own risk, or during transitional phases when the provided device interfaces don't provide the necessary methods.
- Parameters:
-
key the property key
- Returns:
- true if the property is available in the device, false otherwise
Static Method Documentation
| Solid.DeviceInterface.Type deviceInterfaceType | ( | ) |
Get the Solid.DeviceInterface.Type of the GenericInterface device interface.
- Returns:
- the Processor device interface type
- See also:
- Solid.Ifaces.Enums.DeviceInterface.Type
Enumeration Documentation
| PropertyChange |
This enum type defines the type of change that can occur to a GenericInterface property.
- PropertyModified : A property value has changed in the device - PropertyAdded : A new property has been added to the device - PropertyRemoved : A property has been removed from the device
- Enumerator:
-
PropertyModified PropertyAdded PropertyRemoved
