Interface RemoteActionGroup

All Superinterfaces:
ActionGroup, Proxy
All Known Implementing Classes:
DBusActionGroup, RemoteActionGroup.RemoteActionGroup$Impl

@Generated("org.javagi.JavaGI") public interface RemoteActionGroup extends Proxy, ActionGroup

The GRemoteActionGroup interface is implemented by ActionGroup instances that either transmit action invocations to other processes or receive action invocations in the local process from other processes.

The interface has _full variants of the two methods on ActionGroup used to activate actions: ActionGroup.activateAction(String, Variant) and ActionGroup.changeActionState(String, Variant). These variants allow a ‘platform data’ GLib.Variant to be specified: a dictionary providing context for the action invocation (for example: timestamps, startup notification IDs, etc).

DBusActionGroup implements GRemoteActionGroup. This provides a mechanism to send platform data for action invocations over D-Bus.

Additionally, DBusConnection.exportActionGroup(String, ActionGroup) will check if the exported ActionGroup implements GRemoteActionGroup and use the _full variants of the calls if available. This provides a mechanism by which to receive platform data for action invocations that arrive by way of D-Bus.

  • Method Details

    • getType

      static @Nullable Type getType()
      Get the GType of the RemoteActionGroup class.
      Returns:
      the GType
    • activateActionFull

      default void activateActionFull(String actionName, @Nullable Variant parameter, Variant platformData)

      Activates the remote action.

      This is the same as g_action_group_activate_action() except that it allows for provision of "platform data" to be sent along with the activation request. This typically contains details such as the user interaction timestamp or startup notification information.

      platformData must be non-null and must have the type G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT. If it is floating, it will be consumed.

      Parameters:
      actionName - the name of the action to activate
      parameter - the optional parameter to the activation
      platformData - the platform data to send

    • changeActionStateFull

      default void changeActionStateFull(String actionName, Variant value, Variant platformData)

      Changes the state of a remote action.

      This is the same as g_action_group_change_action_state() except that it allows for provision of "platform data" to be sent along with the state change request. This typically contains details such as the user interaction timestamp or startup notification information.

      platformData must be non-null and must have the type G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT. If it is floating, it will be consumed.

      Parameters:
      actionName - the name of the action to change the state of
      value - the new requested value for the state
      platformData - the platform data to send
