Detailed Description

The Account class represents a Telepathy account.

The remote object accessor functions on this object (isValidAccount(), isEnabled(), and so on) don't make any D-Bus calls; instead, they return/use values cached from a previous introspection run. The introspection process populates their values in the most efficient way possible based on what the service implements.

To avoid unnecessary D-Bus traffic, some accessors only return valid information after specific features have been enabled. For instance, to retrieve the account protocol information, it is necessary to enable the feature Account::FeatureProtocolInfo. See the individual methods descriptions for more details.

Account features can be enabled by constructing an AccountFactory and enabling the desired features, and passing it to AccountManager or ClientRegistrar when creating them as appropriate. However, if a particular feature is only ever used in a specific circumstance, such as an user opening some settings dialog separate from the general view of the application, features can be later enabled as needed by calling becomeReady() with the additional features, and waiting for the resulting PendingOperation to finish.

As an addition to accessors, signals are emitted to indicate that properties have changed, for example displayNameChanged(), iconNameChanged(), etc.

Convenience methods to create channels using the channel dispatcher such as ensureTextChat(), createFileTransfer() are also provided.

If the account is deleted from the AccountManager, this object will not be deleted automatically; however, it will emit invalidated() with error code TP_QT4_ERROR_OBJECT_REMOVED and will cease to be useful.

Usage

Creating an account object

The easiest way to create account objects is through AccountManager. One can just use the AccountManager convenience methods such as AccountManager::validAccounts() to get a list of account objects representing valid accounts.

If you already know the object path, you can just call create(). For example:

 AccountPtr acc = Account::create(busName, objectPath); 

An AccountPtr object is returned, which will automatically keep track of object lifetime.

You can also provide a D-Bus connection as a QDBusConnection:

Making account ready to use

An Account object needs to become ready before usage, meaning that the introspection process finished and the object accessors can be used.

To make the object ready, use becomeReady() and wait for the PendingOperation::finished() signal to be emitted.

 class MyClass : public QObject
 {
     QOBJECT

 public:
     MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
     ~MyClass() { }

 private Q_SLOTS:
     void onAccountReady(Tp::PendingOperation*);

 private:
     AccountPtr acc;
 };

 MyClass::MyClass(const QString &busName, const QString &objectPath,
         QObject *parent)
     : QObject(parent)
       acc(Account::create(busName, objectPath))
 {
     connect(acc->becomeReady(),
             SIGNAL(finished(Tp::PendingOperation*)),
             SLOT(onAccountReady(Tp::PendingOperation*)));
 }

 void MyClass::onAccountReady(Tp::PendingOperation *op)
 {
     if (op->isError()) {
         qWarning() << "Account cannot become ready:" <<
             op->errorName() << "-" << op->errorMessage();
         return;
     }

     // Account is now ready
     qDebug() << "Display name:" << acc->displayName();
 }

ConnectionFactoryConstPtr Tp::Account::connectionFactory (  )  const

Return the connection factory used by this account.

Only read access is provided. This allows constructing object instances and examining the object construction settings, but not changing settings. Allowing changes would lead to tricky situations where objects constructed at different times by the account would have unpredictably different construction settings (eg. subclass).

Returns:
A read-only pointer to the ConnectionFactory object.
ChannelFactoryConstPtr Tp::Account::channelFactory (  )  const

Return the channel factory used by this account.

Only read access is provided. This allows constructing object instances and examining the object construction settings, but not changing settings. Allowing changes would lead to tricky situations where objects constructed at different times by the account would have unpredictably different construction settings (eg. subclass).

Returns:
A read-only pointer to the ChannelFactory object.
ContactFactoryConstPtr Tp::Account::contactFactory (  )  const

Return the contact factory used by this account.

Only read access is provided. This allows constructing object instances and examining the object construction settings, but not changing settings. Allowing changes would lead to tricky situations where objects constructed at different times by the account would have unpredictably different construction settings (eg. subclass).

Returns:
A read-only pointer to the ContactFactory object.
bool Tp::Account::isValidAccount (  )  const

Return whether this account is valid.

If true, this account is considered by the account manager to be complete and usable. If false, user action is required to make it usable, and it will never attempt to connect. For instance, this might be caused by the absence or misconfiguration of a required parameter, in which case updateParameters() may be used to properly set the parameters values.

Change notification is via the validityChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if valid, false otherwise.
See also:
validityChanged(), updateParameters()
bool Tp::Account::isEnabled (  )  const

Return whether this account is enabled.

Change notification is via the stateChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if enabled, false otherwise.
See also:
stateChanged(), setEnabled()
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::setEnabled ( bool  value  ) 

Set whether this account should be enabled or disabled.

This gives users the possibility to prevent an account from being used.

Note that changing this property won't change the validity of the account.

Parameters:
value  Whether this account should be enabled or disabled.
Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
See also:
stateChanged(), isEnabled()
QString Tp::Account::cmName (  )  const
QString Tp::Account::protocolName (  )  const
QString Tp::Account::serviceName (  )  const
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::setServiceName ( const QString value  ) 

Set the service name of this account.

Some protocols, like XMPP and SIP, are used by various different user-recognised brands, such as Google Talk. On accounts for such services, this method can be used to set the name describing the service, which must consist only of ASCII letters, numbers and hyphen/minus signs, and start with a letter. For the jabber protocol, one of the following service names should be used if possible:

google-talk (for Google's IM service) facebook (for Facebook's IM service) lj-talk (for LiveJournal's IM service)

The service name may also be set, if appropriate, when creating the account. See AccountManager::createAccount() for more details.

Note that changing this property may also change the profile() used by this account, in which case profileChanged() will be emitted in addition to serviceNameChanged(), if Account::FeatureProfile is enabled.

Parameters:
value  The service name of this account.
Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
See also:
serviceNameChanged(), serviceName()
ProfilePtr Tp::Account::profile (  )  const
QString Tp::Account::displayName (  )  const
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::setDisplayName ( const QString value  ) 

Set the display name of this account.

The display name is the user-visible name of this account. This is usually chosen by the user at account creation time. See AccountManager::createAccount() for more details.

Parameters:
value  The display name of this account.
Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
See also:
displayNameChanged(), displayName()

On success, the PendingOperation returned by this method will produce a list of strings, which are the names of parameters whose changes will not take effect until the account is disconnected and reconnected (for instance by calling reconnect()).

Parameters:
set  Parameters to set.
unset  Parameters to unset.
Returns:
A PendingStringList which will emit PendingStringList::finished when the request has been made

QString Tp::Account::connectionError (  )  const
Connection::ErrorDetails Tp::Account::connectionErrorDetails (  )  const
ConnectionPtr Tp::Account::connection (  )  const
bool Tp::Account::isChangingPresence (  )  const

Return whether this account connection is changing presence.

Change notification is via the changingPresence() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if changing presence, false otherwise.
See also:
changingPresence(), currentPresenceChanged(), setRequestedPresence()
PresenceSpecList Tp::Account::allowedPresenceStatuses ( bool  includeAllStatuses = false  )  const

Return a list of presences allowed by a connection to this account.

In particular, for the statuses reported here it can be assumed that setting them as the requested presence via setRequestedPresence() will eventually result in currentPresence() changing to exactly said presence. Other statuses are only guaranteed to be matched as closely as possible.

The statuses can be also used for the automatic presence, as set by setAutomaticPresence(), with the exception of any status specifications for which Presence::type() is Tp::ConnectionPresenceTypeOffline for the Presence returned by PresenceSpec::presence().

However, the optional parameter can be used to allow reporting also other possible presence statuses on this protocol besides the others that can be set on yourself. These are purely informatory, for e.g. adjusting an UI to allow all possible remote contact statuses to be displayed.

An offline presence status is always included, because it's always valid to make an account offline by setting the requested presence to an offline status.

Full functionality requires Account::FeatureProtocolInfo and Account::FeatureProfile to be ready as well as connection with Connection::FeatureSimplePresence enabled. If the connection is online and Connection::FeatureSimplePresence is enabled, it will return the connection allowed statuses, otherwise it will return a list os statuses based on profile() and protocolInfo() information if the corresponding features are enabled.

If there's a mismatch between the presence status info provided in the .profile file and/or the .manager file and what an online Connection actually reports (for example, the said data files are missing or too old to include presence information), the returned value can change, in particular when connectionChanged() is emitted with a connection for which Connection::status() is Tp::ConnectionStatusConnected.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Parameters:
includeAllStatuses  Whether the returned list will include all statuses or just the ones that can be settable using setRequestedPresence().
Returns:
The allowed statuses as a list of PresenceSpec objects.
uint Tp::Account::maxPresenceStatusMessageLength (  )  const

Return the maximum length for a presence status message.

If a status message set using setRequestedPresence() (or setAutomaticPresence()) is longer than the maximum length allowed, the message will be truncated and currentPresenceChanged() will be emitted (if setting the presence worked) with the truncated message.

Full functionality requires Connection with Connection::FeatureSimplePresence enabled. If the connection is online and Connection::FeatureSimplePresence is enabled, it will return the connection maximum status message length, otherwise it will return 0.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The maximum length, or 0 if there is no limit.
Presence Tp::Account::automaticPresence (  )  const
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::setAutomaticPresence ( const Presence presence  ) 

Set the presence status that this account should have if it is brought online automatically by the account manager.

Note that changing this property won't actually change the account's status until the next time it is (re)connected for some reason.

The value of this property must be one that would be acceptable for setRequestedPresence(), as returned by allowedPresenceStatuses(), with the additional restriction that the offline presence cannot be used.

Parameters:
presence  The presence to set when this account is brought online automatically by the account manager.
Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
See also:
automaticPresenceChanged(), automaticPresence(), setRequestedPresence()
Presence Tp::Account::currentPresence (  )  const
Presence Tp::Account::requestedPresence (  )  const
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::setRequestedPresence ( const Presence presence  ) 

Set the requested presence of this account.

When the requested presence is changed, the account manager will attempt to manipulate the connection to make currentPresence() match requestedPresence() as closely as possible.

Parameters:
presence  The requested presence.
Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
See also:
requestedPresenceChanged(), currentPresence(), automaticPresence(), setAutomaticPresence()
bool Tp::Account::isOnline (  )  const

Return whether this account is online.

Change notification is via the onlinenessChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if online, otherwise false.
See also:
onlinenessChanged()
QString Tp::Account::uniqueIdentifier (  )  const
QString Tp::Account::normalizedName (  )  const
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::reconnect (  ) 

If this account is currently connected, disconnect and reconnect it. If it is currently trying to connect, cancel the attempt to connect and start another. If it is currently disconnected, do nothing.

Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
PendingOperation * Tp::Account::remove (  ) 

Delete this account.

Returns:
A PendingOperation which will emit PendingOperation::finished when the request has been made.
See also:
removed()
bool Tp::Account::supportsRequestHints (  )  const

Return whether passing hints on channel requests on this account is known to be supported.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if supported, false otherwise.
bool Tp::Account::requestsSucceedWithChannel (  )  const

Return whether the ChannelRequest::succeeded(const Tp::ChannelPtr &channel) signal is expected to be emitted with a non-NULL channel parameter for requests made using this account.

This can be used as a run-time check for the Channel Dispatcher implementation being new enough. In particular, similarly old Channel Dispatchers don't support request hints either, so the return value for this function and Account::supportsRequestHints() will bet he same.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if supported, false otherwise.

)

Start a request to create a channel. This initially just creates a PendingChannelRequest object, which can be used to track the success or failure of the request, or to cancel it.

Helper methods for text chat, text chat room, media call and conference are provided and should be used if appropriate.

Parameters:
request  A dictionary containing desirable properties.
userActionTime  The time at which user action occurred, or QDateTime() if this channel request is for some reason not involving user action.
preferredHandler  Either the well-known bus name (starting with org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.) of the preferred handler for this channel, or an empty string to indicate that any handler would be acceptable.
hints  Arbitrary metadata which will be relayed to the handler if supported, as indicated by supportsRequestHints().
Returns:
A PendingChannelRequest which will emit PendingChannelRequest::finished when the request has been made.

Returns:
The connection manager name.
QString Tp::Account::protocolName [read]

Return the protocol name of this account.

Returns:
The protocol name.
QString Tp::Account::serviceName [read]

Return the service name of this account.

Note that this method will fallback to protocolName() if service name is not known.

Change notification is via the serviceNameChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The service name.
See also:
serviceNameChanged(), setServiceName(), protocolName()
ProfilePtr Tp::Account::profile [read]

Return the profile used by this account.

Profiles are intended to describe variants of the basic protocols supported by Telepathy connection managers. An example of this would be Google Talk vs Facebook chat vs Jabber/XMPP. Google Talk is a specific case of XMPP with well-known capabilities, quirks and settings, and Facebook chat is a subset of the standard XMPP offering.

This method will return the profile for this account based on the service used by it.

Note that if a profile for serviceName() is not available, a fake profile (Profile::isFake() is true) will be returned in case protocolInfo() is valid.

The fake profile will contain the following info:

Change notification is via the profileChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureProfile to be ready.

Returns:
A pointer to the Profile object.
See also:
profileChanged(), serviceName()
QString Tp::Account::displayName [read]

Return the display name of this account.

Change notification is via the displayNameChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The display name.
See also:
displayNameChanged(), setDisplayName()
QString Tp::Account::iconName [read]

Return the icon name of this account.

If the account has no icon, and Account::FeatureProfile is enabled, the icon from the result of profile() will be used.

If neither the account nor the profile has an icon, and Account::FeatureProtocolInfo is enabled, the icon from protocolInfo() will be used if set.

As a last resort, "im-" + protocolName() will be returned.

This matches the fallbacks recommended by the Telepathy specification.

Change notification is via the iconNameChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The icon name.
See also:
iconNameChanged(), setIconName()

For now this method will only return the avatar requirements found in protocolInfo() if Account::FeatureProtocolInfo is ready, otherwise an invalid AvatarSpec instance is returned.

Returns:
The requirements as an AvatarSpec object.
See also:
avatar(), setAvatar()
const Avatar & Tp::Account::avatar [read]

Return the avatar of this account.

Change notification is via the avatarChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureAvatar to be ready.

Returns:
The avatar as an Avatar object.
See also:

Change notification is via the capabilitiesChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCapabilities to be ready.

Returns:
The capabilities as a ConnectionCapabilities object.
See also:
capabilitiesChanged(), protocolInfo(), profile()
bool Tp::Account::hasBeenOnline [read]

Return whether this account has ever been put online successfully.

This property cannot change from true to false, only from false to true. When the account successfully goes online for the first time, or when it is detected that this has already happened, the firstOnline() signal is emitted.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
true if ever been online, false otherwise.
bool Tp::Account::connectsAutomatically [read]

Return whether this account should be put online automatically whenever possible.

Change notification is via the connectsAutomaticallyPropertyChanged() signal.

Returns:
true if it should try to connect automatically, false otherwise.
See also:
connectsAutomaticallyPropertyChanged(), setConnectsAutomatically()
ConnectionStatus Tp::Account::connectionStatus [read]

Return the status of this account connection.

Note that this method may return a different value from the one returned by Connection::status() on this account connection. This happens because this value will change whenever the connection status of this account connection changes and won't consider the Connection introspection process. The same rationale also applies to connectionStatusReason() and connectionErrorDetails().

A valid use case for this is for account creation UIs that wish to display the accounts connection status and nothing else on the connections (e.g. retrieve the contact list).

Change notification is via the connectionStatusChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The connection status as ConnectionStatus.
See also:
connectionStatusChanged(), connectionStatusReason(), connectionError(), connectionErrorDetails()

This represents the reason for the last change to connectionStatus().

Note that this method may return a different value from the one returned by Connection::statusReason() on this account connection. See connectionStatus() for more details.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The connection status reason as ConnectionStatusReason.
See also:
connectionStatusChanged(), connectionStatus(), connectionError(), connectionErrorDetails()
QString Tp::Account::connectionError [read]

Return the D-Bus error name for the last disconnection or connection failure, (in particular, TP_QT4_ERROR_CANCELLED if it was disconnected by user request), or an empty string if the account is connected.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The D-Bus error name for the last disconnection or connection failure.
See also:
connectionErrorDetails(), connectionStatus(), connectionStatusReason(), connectionStatusChanged()
Connection::ErrorDetails Tp::Account::connectionErrorDetails [read]

Note that the Connection object returned by this method will have the features set in the connectionFactory() used by this account ready.

Change notification is via the connectionChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
A pointer to the Connection object, or a null ConnectionPtr if there is no connection currently or if an error occurred.
See also:
connectionChanged()
bool Tp::Account::changingPresence [read]
Presence Tp::Account::automaticPresence [read]

Return the presence status that this account will have set on it by the account manager if it brings it online automatically.

Change notification is via the automaticPresenceChanged() signal.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The automatic presence as a Presence object.
See also:
automaticPresenceChanged(), setAutomaticPresence()
Presence Tp::Account::currentPresence [read]

Return the actual presence of this account.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The requested presence as a Presence object.
See also:
requestedPresenceChanged(), setRequestedPresence(), currentPresence(), automaticPresence()
bool Tp::Account::online [read]
QString Tp::Account::uniqueIdentifier [read]

Return the unique identifier of this account.

Returns:
The unique identifier.
QString Tp::Account::normalizedName [read]

Return the normalized user ID of the local user of this account.

It is unspecified whether this user ID is globally unique.

As currently implemented, IRC user IDs are only unique within the same IRCnet. On some saner protocols, the user ID includes a DNS name which provides global uniqueness.

If this value is not known yet (which will always be the case for accounts that have never been online), it will be an empty string.

It is possible that this value will change if the connection manager's normalization algorithm changes.

This method requires Account::FeatureCore to be ready.

Returns:
The normalized user ID of the local user.
