Detailed Description

The QContentSet class represents a filtered view of all content on a device.

The content that appears in a QContentSet is defined by a applying a filtering criteria to the set with setCriteria(). Any content in the backing store that passes the filtering criteria is included in the set, if no filtering criteria is applied the set is empty. By default content in a set is sorted by name, an alternative sort order can be specified with setSortCriteria().

Asynchronous and Synchronous updates

QContentSets are synchronized with the backing store; if content is added, removed, or modified in a way affecting its inclusion in a QContentSet the QContentSet will be updated to reflect that change. A QContentSet can be made to update its content asynchronously or synchronously, the content is updated the same whether caused by external events or changing the filtering or sorting criteria.

Updates to an asynchronous content set are performed in an background thread which is started from the event loop when a change to the filtering or sorting criteria has been identified or a change notification has been received. As the update is performed pairs of contentAboutToBeRemoved()/contentRemoved() and contentAboutToBeInserted()/contentInserted() signals are emitted to indicate where changes to the content set have occurred, these signals are synchronized to the event loop of the QContentSet's thread so within an event the count() of a QContentSet will not change.

Synchronous QContentSets simply reset the contents of the set when there is a possible change in the content. Changing the filtering or sorting criteria will trigger a deferred update of the content set which occur either when control returns to the event loop or count() is called. This allows a number of changes to be accumulated before updating the set.

Generally for persisted QContentSets such those used in document selectors the asynchronous update mode should be preferred, while the synchronous mode is more suited for one off queries.

Explicit content

In addition to the filtered content a QContentSet has an internal list of explicitly maintained content. Content added to a set explicitly is included in the visible set irregardless of whether it passes the filtering criteria and does not have to be committed to the backing store. The contents of this internal list are managed with the add() and remove() methods.

Example: Iterating over a set of user audio recordings sorted by most recently modified.

    QContentSet contentSet;

    // Filter for documents with the mime type 'audio/wav' in the 'Recordings' category.
    contentSet.setCriteria( QContentFilter( Document ) );
    contentSet.addCriteria( QContentFilter::mimeType( "audio/wav" ), QContentFilter::And );
    contentSet.addCriteria( QContentFilter::category( "Recordings" ), QContentFilter::And );

    // Sort by modified date in descending order.
    contentSet.setSortCriteria( QContentSortCriteria(
            QContentSortCriteria::LastModified,
            Qt::DescendingOrder ) );

    for( int i = 0; i < contentSet.count(); i++ )
    {
        QContent content = contentSet.content( i );
        ...
    }

void QContentSet::clear ()

Removes the filtering criteria, and all explicitly added content from the set.

This will remove all content from the set.

See also add(), remove(), contains(), setCriteria(), addCriteria(), and clearFilter().

Paths are not acceptable in filename, ie the filename must not contain any "/" characters.

Note that if more than one item with the filename exists in the QContentSet no guarantee is provided as to which one is returned.

This method is typically used with filters such that only one filename item exists in the filtered set.

See also QContent::InvalidId.

bool QContentSet::isEmpty () const

Returns true if this set is empty.

QContentIdList QContentSet::itemIds () const

Return a QContentIdList of content IDs in this set.

This is a relatively expensive operation, and generally should not be used unless it is known that only a few items will be returned.

It is also a snapshot of the currently known items in the list, which has a possibility of going out of date immediately after it is obtained.

Instead of using this method consider iterating over the set directly instead.

    for( int i = 0; i < contentSet.count(); i++ )
    {
        QContentId contentId = contentSet.contentId( i );
        ...
    }

See also QContentSetModel and items().

QContentList QContentSet::items () const

Return a QContentList of items in this set.

This is a relatively expensive operation, and generally should not be used unless it is known that only a few items will be returned.

It is also a snapshot of the currently known items in the list, which has a possibility of going out of date immediately after it is obtained.

Instead of using this method consider iterating over the set directly instead.

    for( int i = 0; i < contentSet.count(); i++ )
    {
        QContent content = contentSet.content( i );
        ...
    }

See also QContentSetModel and itemIds().

void QContentSet::remove ( const QContent & content )

Removes content from an explicitly maintained internal list of content. Items in this list appear in the content set irregardless of whether they match the filtering criteria.

See also add(), contains(), and clear().

void QContentSet::scan ( const QString & path, Priority priority = NormalPriority )   [static]

Initiates a document scan of a path and its sub-directories looking for documents that have been added, removed, or modified to bring the backing store's view of the path up to date with the file system.

Scans are performed threaded in a server process, the scan priority sets the run priority of the scanner threads. A higher priority scan will finish sooner but may reduce the device responsiveness.

void QContentSet::setCriteria ( QContentFilter::FilterType kind, const QString & filter )

Sets the filtering criteria of a QContentSet to a kind filter matching the value filter.

This will replace any existing filtering criteria.

void QContentSet::setCriteria ( const QContentFilter & filter )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Sets the filtering criteria of a QContentSet to filter.

This will replace any existing filtering criteria.

Example: Filter for documents with the mime type image/jpeg or image/png.

    QContentSet contentSet;
    contentSet.setCriteria( QContentFilter( QContent::Document )
            & ( QContentFilter::mimeType( "image/jpeg" )
            | QContentFilter::mimeType( "image/png" ) ) );

void QContentSet::setSortCriteria ( const QContentSortCriteria & criteria )

Sets the sort criteria used to order the set.

See also sortCriteria().

void QContentSet::setSortOrder ( const QStringList & sortOrder )

This function is deprecated.

Sets the attributes that content in this QContentSet is ordered by to sortOrder.

Valid sort attributes are:

  • name: The user visible name of the content.
  • type: The MIME type of the content.
  • time: The date-time the content was last modified.
  • synthetic/[group]/[key]: A content property with the given property group and key.

To specify whether to sort in ascending or descending order append asc or desc preceded by a space to the end of the attribute name.

Example: Sorting a QContent by last modified date in descending order.

    contentSet.setSortOrder( QStringList << "time desc" );

This method has been deprecated, use setSortCriteria() instead.

See also sortOrder() and setSortCriteria().

QContentSortCriteria QContentSet::sortCriteria () const

Returns the sort criteria used to order the set.

See also setSortCriteria().

QStringList QContentSet::sortOrder () const
