| Import Statement: | import QtIvi 1.0 |
| Instantiates: | QIviServiceManager |
Methods
- list<ServiceObject> findServiceByInterface(interface, searchFlags)
- bool hasInterface(interface)
Detailed Description
The ServiceManager singleton provides a model which can be used to list all available backends and their interfaces.
This can be useful when you want to query all available backends for a specific interface. E.g. showing a list of all available backends which implement the MediaPlayer interface. This could be used to provide the user the options, to select between multiple options. e.g. local playback, or playback using a bluetooth device.
The ServiceManager implements the QAbstractListModel interface and provides the following roles:
| Role name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | The name of the backend e.g. MediaPlugin |
serviceObject | ServiceObject | The actual QIviServiceObject, which can be used to connect a frontend API to this backend. Note: When using this role in the data() function, the backend plugin will be loaded and instantiated. |
interfaces | list<string> | A list of interfaces implemented by the backend. |
Note: Please see the C++ documentation for more information about what the QIviServiceManager is and how it works.
