EDataBook.BookBackendClass

Fields

Name	Type	Access	Description
closed	object	r	A signal notifying that the backend was closed
impl_configure_direct	object	r	For addressbook backends which support Direct Read Access, configure a backend instantiated on the client side for Direct Read Access, using data reported from the server via the get_direct_book method.
impl_contains_email	object	r	Checkes whether the backend contains an email address
impl_create_contacts	object	r	Add and store the passed vcards
impl_create_cursor	object	r	Create an EDataBook.DataBookCursor
impl_delete_cursor	object	r	Delete an EDataBook.DataBookCursor previously created by this backend
impl_dup_locale	object	r	Return the currently set locale setting (must be a string duplicate, for thread safety).
impl_dup_view_contacts	object	r	returns contacts in the given range of the sorted “manual query” view; default implementation tracks view’s connect and returns the contacts accordingly.
impl_dup_view_indices	object	r	retrieve indexes into an alphabet for contacts in the “manual query” view; default implementation returns value set by EDataBook.BookBackend.set_view_indices().
impl_get_backend_property	object	r	Fetch a property value by name from the backend
impl_get_contact	object	r	Fetch a contact by UID
impl_get_contact_list	object	r	Fetch a list of contacts based on a search expression
impl_get_contact_list_uids	object	r	Fetch a list of contact UIDs based on a search expression
impl_get_direct_book	object	r	For addressbook backends which support Direct Read Access, report some information on how to access the addressbook persistance directly
impl_get_view_n_total	object	r	retrieve how many contacts a “manual query” view has; default implementation returns value set by EDataBook.BookBackend.set_view_n_total().
impl_modify_contacts	object	r	Modify the existing contacts using the passed vcards
impl_notify_update	object	r	Notify changes which might have occured for a given contact
impl_open	object	r	Open the backend
impl_refresh	object	r	Refresh the backend
impl_remove_contacts	object	r	Remove the contacts specified by the passed UIDs
impl_set_locale	object	r	Store & remember the passed locale setting
impl_set_view_sort_fields	object	r	sets sort fields for “manual query” views; default implementation saves the values into internal structures, which can be read back with EDataBook.BookBackend.dup_view_sort_fields().
impl_start_view	object	r	Start up the specified view
impl_stop_view	object	r	Stop the specified view
parent_class	EBackend.BackendClass	r
reserved_padding	[object]	r
shutdown	object	r	A signal notifying that the backend is being shut down
use_serial_dispatch_queue	bool	r	Whether a serial dispatch queue should be used for this backend or not. The default is True.
