Detailed Description

The QtopiaService class allows applications to query the services provided by other applications.

A Qt Extended service is a named collection of features that an application may choose to provide. For example, web browsers providing the feature of displaying a web page given a URL will implement the WebAccess service; telephony programs providing phone call dialing support will implement the Dialer server; etc.

See also Services for more information on implementing and configuring services.

See also Services and QtopiaServiceRequest.

Member Function Documentation

QString QtopiaService::app ( const QString & service, const QString & appname = QString() )   [static]

Returns the application providing the service or a null string if there is no such service.

If appname is provided, a specific binding to that application may be used rather than the global binding.

See also apps().

QString QtopiaService::appConfig ( const QString & service, const QString & appname = QString() )   [static]

Returns the QSettings file defining the facilities available from the applications providing the service, or a null string if there is no such service.

The QSettings can be used to extract more detailed application-specific information about the application providing the service.

Note: The application always provides at least the services defined in the config() file - the information in the appConfig() is application-specific.

If appname is provided, a specific binding to that application may be used rather than the global binding.

See also config().

QStringList QtopiaService::apps ( const QString & service )   [static]

Returns all applications that offer the service, or a null string if there is no such service offered.

See also app().

QString QtopiaService::binding ( const QString & service )   [static]

Returns the name of the QSettings file defining the bindings which the user has selected for the service.

QString QtopiaService::channel ( const QString & service, const QString & appname = QString() )   [static]

Returns the QCop channel for the given service, or a null string if there is no such service.

If appname is provided, a specific binding to that application may be used rather than the global binding.

See also channels().

QStringList QtopiaService::channels ( const QString & service )   [static]

Returns the QCop channels for applications that offer service.

See also channel().

QString QtopiaService::config ( const QString & service )   [static]

Returns the name of the QSettings file defining the facilities available from the applications providing the service, or a null string if there is no such service.

Applications providing the service may have additional configuration defined in the appConfig() file.

See also appConfig().

QStringList QtopiaService::list ()   [static]

Returns a list of available services.

QStringList QtopiaService::services ( const QString & appname )   [static]

Returns the the list of services supported by appname.

See also list().
