QPlaceManager Class

 //1) Make an appropriate request
 QPlaceSearchRequest searchRequest;
 searchRequest.setSearchTerm("ice cream");
 searchRequest.setSearchArea(QGeoCircle(QGeoCoordinate(12.34, 56.78)));

 //2) Use the manager to initiate a request and retrieve a reply object
 QPlaceSearchReply * searchReply = manager->search(searchRequest);

 //3) Connect the reply object to a slot which is invoked upon operation completion
 connect(searchReply, SIGNAL(finished()), this, SLOT(processSearchReply()));
     ...
     ...
 //4) Have the slot appropriately process the results of the operation
 void processSearchReply() {
     if (searchReply->error() == QPlaceReply::NoError) {
         foreach (const QPlaceSearchResult &result, searchReply->results()) {
             if (result.type() == QPlaceSearchResult::PlaceResult)
                 qDebug() << "Title:" << result.title();
         }
     }

 //5) Discard the rely object when done.
     searchReply->deleteLater();
     searchReply = 0;
 }

[signal] void QPlaceManager::categoryAdded(const QPlaceCategory &category, const QString &parentId)

This signal is emitted if a category has been added to the manager's datastore. The parent of the category is specified by parentId.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

See also dataChanged().

[signal] void QPlaceManager::categoryRemoved(const QString &categoryId, const QString &parentId)

This signal is emitted when the category corresponding to categoryId has been removed from the manager's datastore. The parent of the removed category is specified by parentId.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

See also dataChanged().

[signal] void QPlaceManager::categoryUpdated(const QPlaceCategory &category, const QString &parentId)

This signal is emitted if a category has been modified in the manager's datastore. The parent of the modified category is specified by parentId.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

See also dataChanged().

[signal] void QPlaceManager::dataChanged()

This signal is emitted by the manager if there are large scale changes to its underlying datastore and the manager considers these changes radical enough to require clients to reload all data.

If the signal is emitted, no other signals will be emitted for the associated changes.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

[signal] void QPlaceManager::error(QPlaceReply *reply, QPlaceReply::Error error, const QString &errorString = QString())

This signal is emitted when an error has been detected in the processing of reply. The QPlaceManager::finished() signal will probably follow.

The error will be described by the error code error. If errorString is not empty it will contain a textual description of the error meant for developers and not end users.

This signal and QPlaceReply::error() will be emitted at the same time.

[signal] void QPlaceManager::finished(QPlaceReply *reply)

This signal is emitted when reply has finished processing.

If reply->error() equals QPlaceReply::NoError then the processing finished successfully.

This signal and QPlaceReply::finished() will be emitted at the same time.

[signal] void QPlaceManager::placeAdded(const QString &placeId)

This signal is emitted if a place has been added to the manager engine's datastore. The particular added place is specified by placeId.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

See also dataChanged().

[signal] void QPlaceManager::placeRemoved(const QString &placeId)

This signal is emitted if a place has been removed from the manager's datastore. The particular place that has been removed is specified by placeId.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

See also dataChanged().

[signal] void QPlaceManager::placeUpdated(const QString &placeId)

This signal is emitted if a place has been modified in the manager's datastore. The particular modified place is specified by placeId.

This signal is only emitted by managers that support the QPlaceManager::NotificationsFeature.

See also dataChanged().

[virtual] QPlaceManager::~QPlaceManager()

Destroys the manager. This destructor is used internally by QGeoServiceProvider and should never need to be called in application code.

QPlaceCategory QPlaceManager::category(const QString &categoryId) const

Returns the category corresponding to the given categoryId.

QList<QPlaceCategory> QPlaceManager::childCategories(const QString &parentId = QString()) const

Returns a list of categories that are children of the category corresponding to parentId. If parentId is empty, all the top level categories are returned.

QStringList QPlaceManager::childCategoryIds(const QString &parentId = QString()) const

Returns the child category identifiers of the category corresponding to parentId. If parentId is empty then all top level category identifiers are returned.

QPlace QPlaceManager::compatiblePlace(const QPlace &original)

Returns a pruned or modified version of the original place which is suitable to be saved into this manager.

Only place details that are supported by this manager is present in the modified version. Manager specific data such as the place id, is not copied over from the original.

QPlaceContentReply *QPlaceManager::getPlaceContent(const QPlaceContentRequest &request) const

Retrieves content for a place according to the parameters specified in request.

See Fetching Rich Content for an example of usage.

QPlaceDetailsReply *QPlaceManager::getPlaceDetails(const QString &placeId) const

Retrieves a details of place corresponding to the given placeId.

See Fetching Place Details for an example of usage.

QPlaceReply *QPlaceManager::initializeCategories()

Initializes the categories of the manager.

See Using Categories for an example of usage.

QList<QLocale> QPlaceManager::locales() const

Returns a list of preferred locales. The locales are used as a hint to the manager for what language place and category details should be returned in.

If the first specified locale cannot be accommodated, the manager falls back to the next and so forth. Some manager backends may not support a set of locales which are rigidly defined. An arbitrary example is that some places in France could have French and English localizations, while certain areas in America may only have the English localization available. In this example, the set of supported locales is context dependent on the search location.

If the manager cannot accommodate any of the preferred locales, the manager falls back to using a supported language that is backend specific.

Support for locales may vary from provider to provider. For those that do support it, by default, the global default locale is set as the manager's only locale.

For managers that do not support locales, the locale list is always empty.

See also setLocales().
