Description

This class provides functionality for watching for changes on a given addressbook opened with an EBookClient. Use e_book_client_get_view() to create an EBookClientView.

Functions

e_book_client_view_ref_client ()

struct _EBookClient *
e_book_client_view_ref_client (EBookClientView *client_view);

Returns the “client” associated with client_view .

The returned EBookClient is referenced for thread-safety. Unreference the EBookClient with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Parameters

client_view

an EBookClientView

 

Returns

an EBookClient

Since: 3.10


e_book_client_view_get_connection ()

GDBusConnection *
e_book_client_view_get_connection (EBookClientView *client_view);

Returns the GDBusConnection used to create the D-Bus proxy.

Parameters

client_view

an EBookClientView

 

Returns

the GDBusConnection.

[transfer none]

Since: 3.8


e_book_client_view_get_object_path ()

const gchar *
e_book_client_view_get_object_path (EBookClientView *client_view);

Returns the object path used to create the D-Bus proxy.

Parameters

client_view

an EBookClientView

 

Returns

the object path

Since: 3.8


e_book_client_view_is_running ()

gboolean
e_book_client_view_is_running (EBookClientView *client_view);

e_book_client_view_set_fields_of_interest ()

void
e_book_client_view_set_fields_of_interest
                               (EBookClientView *client_view,
                                const GSList *fields_of_interest,
                                GError **error);

Client can instruct server to which fields it is interested in only, thus the server can return less data over the wire. The server can still return complete objects, this is just a hint to it that the listed fields will be used only. The UID field is returned always. Initial views has no fields of interest and using NULL for fields_of_interest will unset any previous changes.

Some backends can use summary information of its cache to create artifical objects, which will omit stored object parsing. If this cannot be done then it will simply return object as is stored in the cache.

Parameters

client_view

an EBookClientView

 

fields_of_interest

List of field names in which the client is interested.

[element-type utf8]

error

return location for a GError, or NULL

 

e_book_client_view_start ()

void
e_book_client_view_start (EBookClientView *client_view,
                          GError **error);

Tells client_view to start processing events.

Parameters

client_view

an EBookClientView

 

error

return location for a GError, or NULL

 

e_book_client_view_stop ()

void
e_book_client_view_stop (EBookClientView *client_view,
                         GError **error);

Tells client_view to stop processing events.

Parameters

e_book_client_view_set_flags ()

void
e_book_client_view_set_flags (EBookClientView *client_view,
                              EBookClientViewFlags flags,
                              GError **error);

Sets the flags which control the behaviour of client_view .

Parameters

e_book_client_view_get_client ()

struct _EBookClient *
e_book_client_view_get_client (EBookClientView *client_view);

e_book_client_view_get_client has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use e_book_client_view_ref_client() instead.

Returns the “client” associated with client_view .

Parameters

client_view

Returns

an EBookClient.
