## Detailed Description

The AccountManager class represents a Telepathy account manager.

The remote object accessor functions on this object (allAccounts(), validAccounts(), and so on) don't make any D-Bus calls; instead, they return/use values cached from a previous introspection run. The introspection process populates their values in the most efficient way possible based on what the service implements.

To avoid unnecessary D-Bus traffic, some accessors only return valid information after AccountManager::FeatureCore has been enabled. See the individual methods descriptions for more details.

AccountManager features can be enabled by calling becomeReady() with the desired set of features as an argument (currently only AccountManager::FeatureCore is supported), and waiting for the resulting PendingOperation to finish.

All accounts returned by AccountManager are guaranteed to have the features set in the AccountFactory used by it ready.

A signal is emitted to indicate that accounts are added. See newCreated() for more details.

## Usage

### Creating an AccountManager object

One way to create an AccountManager object is to just call the create method. For example:

     AccountManagerPtr am = AccountManager::create();

An AccountManagerPtr object is returned, which will automatically keep track of object lifetime.

You can also provide a D-Bus connection as a QDBusConnection:

     AccountManagerPtr am = AccountManager::create(QDBusConnection::sessionBus());

### Making AccountManager ready to use

An AccountManager object needs to become ready before usage, meaning that the introspection process finished and the object accessors can be used.

To make the object ready, use becomeReady() and wait for the PendingOperation::finished() signal to be emitted.

     class MyClass : public QObject
     {
         QOBJECT

     public:
         MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
         ~MyClass() { }

     private Q_SLOTS:
         void onAccountManagerReady(Tp::PendingOperation*);

     private:
         AccountManagerPtr mAM;
     };

     MyClass::MyClass(QObject *parent)
         : QObject(parent)
           mAM(AccountManager::create())
     {
         connect(mAM->becomeReady(),
                 SIGNAL(finished(Tp::PendingOperation*)),
                 SLOT(onAccountManagerReady(Tp::PendingOperation*)));
     }

     void MyClass::onAccountManagerReady(Tp::PendingOperation *op)
     {
         if (op->isError()) {
             qWarning() << "Account manager cannot become ready:" <<
                 op->errorName() << "-" << op->errorMessage();
             return;
         }

         // AccountManager is now ready
         qDebug() << "All accounts:";
         foreach (const Tp::AccountPtr &acc, mAM->allAccounts()) {
             qDebug() << " path:" << acc->objectPath();
         }
     }

The instance will use an account factory creating Tp::Account objects with Account::FeatureCore ready, a connection factory creating Tp::Connection objects with no features ready, a channel factory creating stock Tp::Channel subclasses, as appropriate, with no features ready, and a contact factory creating Tp::Contact objects with no features ready.

Parameters:

  bus | QDBusConnection to use.

Returns:
  An AccountManagerPtr object pointing to the newly created AccountManager object.

## Member Data Documentation

const Feature Tp::AccountManager::FeatureCore `[static]`

Feature representing the core that needs to become ready to make the AccountManager object usable.

Note that this feature must be enabled in order to use most AccountManager methods.

When calling isReady(), becomeReady(), this feature is implicitly added to the requested features.
