Detailed Description
The MediaIndexerControl controls the media indexer. It provides a way to temporarily pause the indexing and resume it, as well as to inquire about the current state and progress of the indexing operation.
The MediaIndexerControl expects a single backend to be available. It is recommended to use it with discoveryMode set to AbstractFeature.AutoDiscovery.
Uses qtifmedia as configurationId for InterfaceFrameworkConfiguration based settings.
Property Documentation
configurationId : string |
Holds the id to determine which configuration this feature belongs to.
Once the id has been set, it is possible to change certain values using the InterfaceFrameworkConfiguration API.
Note: Values set in the matching InterfaceFrameworkConfiguration can override the initial values set during the component creation.
See also InterfaceFrameworkConfiguration.
discoveryMode : enumeration |
Holds the mode that is used for the autoDiscovery
Available values are:
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
NoAutoDiscovery | No auto discovery is done and the ServiceObject needs to be set manually. |
AutoDiscovery | Tries to find a production backend with a matching interface and falls back to a simulation backend if not found. |
LoadOnlyProductionBackends | Only tries to load a production backend with a matching interface. |
LoadOnlySimulationBackends | Only tries to load a simulation backend with a matching interface. |
If necessary, auto discovery is started once the feature creation is completed.
Note: If you change this property after the feature is instantiated, make sure to call startAutoDiscovery() to search for a new service object.
discoveryResult : enumeration |
The result of the last autoDiscovery
Available values are:
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
NoResult | Indicates that no auto discovery was started because the feature has already assigned a valid ServiceObject. |
ErrorWhileLoading | An error has happened while searching for a backend with a matching interface. |
ProductionBackendLoaded | A production backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery. |
SimulationBackendLoaded | A simulation backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery. |
isInitialized : bool |
Indicates whether the feature has been initialized with all the values from the backend.
The property is true once the backend sends the QIfFeatureInterface::initializationDone signal to indicate that all values have now been initialized with values from the backend.
See also isValid and QIfFeatureInterface::initializationDone.
isValid : bool |
Indicates whether the feature is ready for use.
The property is true if the feature is ready to be used, otherwise false. Not being ready usually indicates that no suitable service object could be found, or that automatic discovery has not been triggered.
The backend still might not have sent all properties yet and is not fully initialized. Use isInitialized instead to know when the feature holds all correct values.
See also QIfServiceObject, discoveryMode, and isInitialized.
Holds a list of wildcards to load the preferred backend during auto discovery.
The auto discovery mechanism will automatically search for backends which provide a matching interface for this feature implementation. See startAutoDiscovery() for more information.
In case multiple backends implement the same interface, the list of wildcards can be used to determine the correct one to load.
The wildcards are applied in order to the found backends. If the wildcard matches some backends those backends will be loaded, otherwise the next wildcard is used.
For example: Given an AbstractFeature with two backends, backend_mqtt.so and backend_qtro.so, the property can be set to "*_mqtt*" to always select the backend_mqtt.so backend when available.
progress : real |
Holds the progress of the indexing operation.
The value is between 0 and 1.
serviceObject : ServiceObject |
Sets the service object for the feature.
As Features only expose the front API facing the developer, a service object implementing the actual function is required. This is usually retrieved through the auto discovery mechanism.
The setter for this property returns false if the QIfServiceObject is already set to this particular instance or the QIfServiceObject isn't accepted by the feature.
See also discoveryMode.
state : enumeration |
Holds the current state of the indexer.
It can be one of the following values:
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
Idle | The indexer is currently idle and is waiting for new files to be indexed. |
Active | The indexer is currently busy with indexing. |
Paused | The indexer is paused, due to a call to pause(). |
Error | An error has occurred during the indexing operation. |
Method Documentation
resume() |
enumeration startAutoDiscovery() |
Performs an automatic discovery attempt.
The feature tries to locate a single ServiceObject that implements the required interface.
If no ServiceObject is found, the feature remains invalid. If more than one ServiceObject is found, the first instance is used.
This function returns either the type of the backend that was loaded; or an error.
If the discoveryMode is set to QIfAbstractFeature::NoAutoDiscovery, this function does nothing and returns QIfAbstractFeature::NoResult.
Return values are:
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
NoResult | Indicates that no auto discovery was started because the feature already has a valid ServiceObject assigned. |
ErrorWhileLoading | Indicates an error has occurred while searching for a backend with a matching interface. |
ProductionBackendLoaded | A production backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery. |
SimulationBackendLoaded | A simulation backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery. |
