Detailed Description

The QGeoRoutingManagerEngine class provides an interface and convenience methods to implementers of QGeoServiceProvider plugins who want to provide access to geographic routing information.

Subclasses of QGeoRoutingManagerEngine need to provide an implementation of calculateRoute().

In the default implementation, supportsRouteUpdates() returns false and updateRoute() returns a QGeoRouteReply object containing a QGeoRouteReply::UnsupportedOptionError.

If the routing service supports updating routes as they are being travelled, the subclass should provide an implementation of updateRoute() and call setSupportsRouteUpdates(true) at some point in time before updateRoute() is called.

The function setSupportsRouteUpdates() is one of several functions which configure the reported capabilities of the engine. If the capabilities of an engine differ from the default values these functions should be used so that the reported capabilies are accurate.

It is important that this is done before calculateRoute(), updateRoute() or any of the capability reporting functions are used to prevent incorrect or inconsistent behaviour.

A subclass of QGeoRouteManagerEngine will often make use of a subclass fo QGeoRouteReply internally, in order to add any engine-specific data (such as a QNetworkReply object for network-based services) to the QGeoRouteReply instances used by the engine.

See also QGeoRoutingManager.

Member Function Documentation

QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::QGeoRoutingManagerEngine ( const QMap<QString, QVariant> & parameters, QObject * parent = 0 )

Constructs a new engine with the specified parent, using parameters to pass any implementation specific data to the engine.

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::~QGeoRoutingManagerEngine () [virtual]

Destroys this engine.

QGeoRouteReply * QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::calculateRoute ( const QGeoRouteRequest & request ) [pure virtual]

Begins the calculation of the route specified by request.

A QGeoRouteReply object will be returned, which can be used to manage the routing operation and to return the results of the operation.

This engine and the returned QGeoRouteReply object will emit signals indicating if the operation completes or if errors occur.

Once the operation has completed, QGeoRouteReply::routes can be used to retrieve the calculated route or routes.

If request includes features which are not supported by this engine, as reported by the methods in this engine, then a QGeoRouteReply::UnsupportedOptionError will occur.

The user is responsible for deleting the returned reply object, although this can be done in the slot connected to QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::finished(), QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::error(), QGeoRouteReply::finished() or QGeoRouteReply::error() with deleteLater().

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::error ( QGeoRouteReply * reply, QGeoRouteReply::Error error, QString errorString = QString() ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when an error has been detected in the processing of reply. The QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::finished() signal will probably follow.

The error will be described by the error code error. If errorString is not empty it will contain a textual description of the error.

This signal and QGeoRouteReply::error() will be emitted at the same time.

Note: Do no delete the reply object in the slot connected to this signal. Use deleteLater() instead.

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::finished ( QGeoRouteReply * reply ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when reply has finished processing.

If reply::error() equals QGeoRouteReply::NoError then the processing finished successfully.

This signal and QGeoRouteReply::finished() will be emitted at the same time.

Note: Do no delete the reply object in the slot connected to this signal. Use deleteLater() instead.

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

QLocale QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::locale () const

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::setLocale ( const QLocale & locale )

Sets the locale to be used by the this manager to locale.

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

See also supportedFeatureWeights().

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::setSupportedManeuverDetails ( QGeoRouteRequest::ManeuverDetails maneuverDetails ) [protected]

Sets the levels of detail for navigation manuevers which can be requested by this engine to maneuverDetails.

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

See also supportedRouteOptimizations().

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::setSupportedSegmentDetails ( QGeoRouteRequest::SegmentDetails segmentDetails ) [protected]

Sets the levels of detail for routing segments which can be requested by this engine to segmentDetails.

See also supportedSegmentDetails().

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::setSupportedTravelModes ( QGeoRouteRequest::TravelModes travelModes ) [protected]

This function was introduced in Qt Mobility 1.1.

See also supportedTravelModes().

void QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::setSupportsAlternativeRoutes ( bool supported ) [protected]

QGeoRouteReply * QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::updateRoute ( const QGeoRoute & route, const QGeoCoordinate & position ) [virtual]

Begins the process of updating route based on the current position position.

A QGeoRouteReply object will be returned, which can be used to manage the routing operation and to return the results of the operation.

This engine and the returned QGeoRouteReply object will emit signals indicating if the operation completes or if errors occur.

If supportsRouteUpdates() returns false an QGeoRouteReply::UnsupportedOptionError will occur.

Once the operation has completed, QGeoRouteReply::routes can be used to retrieve the updated route.

The returned route could be entirely different to the original route, especially if position is far enough away from the initial route. Otherwise the route will be similar, although the remaining time and distance will be updated and any segments of the original route which have been traversed will be removed.

The user is responsible for deleting the returned reply object, although this can be done in the slot connected to QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::finished(), QGeoRoutingManagerEngine::error(), QGeoRouteReply::finished() or QGeoRouteReply::error() with deleteLater().
