Class CContactGroupView

class CContactGroupView : public CContactViewBase, public MContactViewObserver;

Description

Provides a view of a group of contact items.

The view uses an underlying view. For items to appear in the group view, they must exist in the underlying view.

The TGroupType enumeration defines whether the view displays items that belong to the group, items that do not belong to the group, or items that do not belong to any group.

The group view observes its underlying view so that it is kept up to date if the contents of the underlying view change.

The group can be identified by a contact item ID or by a label, e.g. "family", or "colleagues".

Construction and destruction


NewL()

static IMPORT_C CContactGroupView *NewL(const CContactDatabase &aDb, CContactViewBase &aView, MContactViewObserver &aObserver, const TContactItemId aGroupId, const TGroupType aGroupType);

Description

Allocates and constructs a CContactGroupView version 1 object, identifying the group by its ID.

A group with the specified ID must exist in the database, otherwise when an attempt is made to update the view, a leave will occur with KErrNotFound.

When adding contacts in the view, MContactViewObserver observer will receive TContactViewEvent events with iInt parameter set to KErrNone. When deleting contacts in the view, MContactViewObserver observer will receive TContactViewEvent events with iInt parameter set to index into the observed view of the deleted item

Parameters

const CContactDatabase &aDb

The database containing the contact group.

CContactViewBase &aView

The underlying view.

MContactViewObserver &aObserver

An observer that receives notifications when this view is ready for use and when changes take place in it. The observer receives a TContactViewEvent::EReady event when the view is ready. An attempt to use the view before this notification causes a panic.

const TContactItemId aGroupId

The ID of the contact group.

const TGroupType aGroupType

Controls whether the view displays items belonging to the group, items that do not belong to the group or items that do not belong to any group.

Return value

CContactGroupView *

The newly constructed group view object.


NewL()

static IMPORT_C CContactGroupView *NewL(const CContactDatabase &aDb, CContactViewBase &aView, MContactViewObserver &aObserver, const TDesC &aGroupName, const TGroupType aGroupType);

Description

Allocates and constructs a CContactGroupView version 1 object, identifying the group by its label.

A group with the specified label must exist in the database, otherwise when an attempt is made to update the view, a leave will occur with KErrNotFound.

When adding contacts in the view, MContactViewObserver observer will receive TContactViewEvent events with iInt parameter set to KErrNone. When deleting contacts in the view, MContactViewObserver observer will receive TContactViewEvent events with iInt parameter set to index into the observed view of the deleted item

Parameters

const CContactDatabase &aDb

The database containing the contact group.

CContactViewBase &aView

The underlying view.

MContactViewObserver &aObserver

An observer that receives notifications when this view is ready for use and when changes take place in it. The observer receives a TContactViewEvent::EReady event when the view is ready. An attempt to use the view before this notification causes a panic.

const TDesC &aGroupName

The group label.

const TGroupType aGroupType

Controls whether the view displays items belonging to the group, items that do not belong to the group or items that do not belong to any group.

Return value

CContactGroupView *

The newly constructed group view object.


NewL()

static IMPORT_C CContactGroupView *NewL(CContactViewBase &aView, const CContactDatabase &aDb, MContactViewObserver &aObserver, const TContactItemId aGroupId, const TGroupType aGroupType);

Description

Allocates and constructs a CContactGroupView version 2 object, identifying the group by its ID.

A group with the specified ID must exist in the database, otherwise when an attempt is made to update the view, a leave will occur with KErrNotFound.

When adding/deleting contacts in the view, MContactViewObserver observer will receive TContactViewEvent events with iInt parameter set to index into the observed view of the added/deleted item

Parameters

CContactViewBase &aView

The underlying view.

const CContactDatabase &aDb

The database containing the contact group.

MContactViewObserver &aObserver

An observer that receives notifications when this view is ready for use and when changes take place in it. The observer receives a TContactViewEvent::EReady event when the view is ready. An attempt to use the view before this notification causes a panic.

const TContactItemId aGroupId

The ID of the contact group.

const TGroupType aGroupType

Controls whether the view displays items belonging to the group, items that do not belong to the group or items that do not belong to any group.

Return value

CContactGroupView *

The newly constructed group view object.


NewL()

static IMPORT_C CContactGroupView *NewL(CContactViewBase &aView, const CContactDatabase &aDb, MContactViewObserver &aObserver, const TDesC &aGroupName, const TGroupType aGroupType);

Description

Allocates and constructs a CContactGroupView version 2 object, identifying the group by its label.

A group with the specified label must exist in the database, otherwise when an attempt is made to update the view, a leave will occur with KErrNotFound.

When adding/deleting contacts in the view, MContactViewObserver observer will receive TContactViewEvent events with iInt parameter set to index into the observed view of the added/deleted item

Parameters

CContactViewBase &aView

The underlying view.

const CContactDatabase &aDb

MContactViewObserver &aObserver

An observer that receives notifications when this view is ready for use and when changes take place in it. The observer receives a TContactViewEvent::EReady event when the view is ready. An attempt to use the view before this notification causes a panic.

const TDesC &aGroupName

The group label.

Member functions


CContactViewBase_Reserved_1()

Capability: ReadUserData

virtual TAny *CContactViewBase_Reserved_1(TFunction aFunction, TAny *aParams);

Description

This is a reserved virtual exported function that is used for BC proofing against addition of new exported virtual functions. This function now aids addition of new exported virtual methods without having to break BC,by simply having those virtual methods as non-virtual and helper methods, called from this one and only reserved virtual exported method.A public enumeration type that is defined in the base class CContactViewBase identifies which of the helper 'virtual' methods are being called. All derived classes of CContactViewBase that are public should mandatorily implement this method.

Returns any return values of the helper methods called from this function.

Parameters

TFunction aFunction

an enum value that identifies which helper method is called.

TAny *aParams

parameters to the helper method being called.

Return value

TAny *

Any return values of the helper methods called from this function or NULL.
