KDE 4.2 PyKDE API Reference
Control Class Reference
from PyKDE4.akonadi import *
Inherits: QObject
Namespace: Akonadi
Detailed Description
Provides methods to control the Akonadi server process.
This class provides high-level methods to control the Akonadi server. These methods are synchronously (ie. use a sub-eventloop) and can show dialogs. For more low-level methods see Akonadi.ServerManager.
While the Akonadi server normally is started by the KDE session manager, it is not guaranteed that your application is running inside a KDE session. Therefore it is recommended to execute Akonadi.Control.start() during startup to ensure the Akonadi server is running.
Example:
if ( !Akonadi.Control.start() ) {
qDebug() << "Unable to start Akonadi server, exit application";
return 1;
} else {
...
}
