\mainpage Polkit-qt-1 - Qt wrapper around polkit-1
|
|
|
|
\section polkitqt1_overview Overview
|
|
|
|
\note Please note that if you're developing an application on the KDE Development
|
|
Platform and not just with Qt, you might want to use KAuth (kdelibs/core/auth)
|
|
|
|
polkit-qt-1 aims to make it easy for Qt developers to take advantage of
|
|
polkit API. It is a convenience wrapper around QAction and QAbstractButton
|
|
that lets you integrate those two components easily with polkit.
|
|
|
|
polkit-qt-1 is not a direct replacement of polkit-qt: it is based on polkit-1, which is not
|
|
backwards compatible in any way with Policykit <= 0.9, which was the backend of polkit-qt.
|
|
You are encouraged to port polkit-qt applications to polkit-qt or KAuth, if based on the KDE
|
|
Development Platform, since PolicyKit <= 0.9 is no longer maintained.
|
|
|
|
polkit-qt-1 is split in three libraries: polkit-qt-core-1, polkit-qt-gui-1 and polkit-qt-agent-1
|
|
|
|
\b polkit-qt-core-1 lets you control actions and authentication without a GUI, with some very
|
|
simple functions. It also lets you retrieve and control useful informations on the polkit
|
|
authority. You will be mostly interested in the \c Authority class.
|
|
|
|
\b polkit-qt-gui-1 lets you easily associate GUI items with polkit actions. Through some simple
|
|
wrapper classes you are able to associate QAction and QAbstractButton to a polkit action,
|
|
and get their properties changed accordingly to polkit's result. It includes the classes
|
|
Action, ActionButton and ActionButtons
|
|
|
|
\b polkit-qt-agent-1 lets you write your own polkit authentication agents in a very simple way.
|

\page polkitqt1_example Polkit-qt-1 usage example
|
|
|
|
You can find an example usage of Polkit-qt-1 in the examples/ dir. You can
|
|
build it by passing \c -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE to your cmake line. The structure
|
|
consists of a .ui file and a main class, to demonstrate how easy it is to integrate
|
|
polkit support in an existing application. Let's see some details about it:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
bt = new ActionButton(kickPB, "org.qt.policykit.examples.kick", this);
|
|
bt->setText("Kick... (long)");
|
|
// here we set the behavior of PolKitResul = No
|
|
bt->setVisible(true, Action::No);
|
|
bt->setEnabled(true, Action::No);
|
|
bt->setText("Kick (long)", Action::No);
|
|
bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/custom-no.png"), Action::No);
|
|
bt->setToolTip("If your admin wasn't annoying, you could do this", Action::No);
|
|
// here we set the behavior of PolKitResul = Auth
|
|
bt->setVisible(true, Action::Auth);
|
|
bt->setEnabled(true, Action::Auth);
|
|
bt->setText("Kick... (long)", Action::Auth);
|
|
bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/action-locked-default.png"), Action::Auth);
|
|
bt->setToolTip("Only card carrying tweakers can do this!", Action::Auth);
|
|
// here we set the behavior of PolKitResul = Yes
|
|
bt->setVisible(true, Action::Yes);
|
|
bt->setEnabled(true, Action::Yes);
|
|
bt->setText("Kick! (long)", Action::Yes);
|
|
bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/custom-yes.png"), Action::Yes);
|
|
bt->setToolTip("Go ahead, kick kick kick!", Action::Yes);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
This small paragraph sets up an action button using an existing button defined in the
|
|
UI file, \c kickPB . As you can see, you can set custom properties on your button depending
|
|
on the action status/result. The code is mostly self-explainatory
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
bt = new ActionButtons(QList<QAbstractButton*>() << listenPB << listenCB,
|
|
"org.qt.policykit.examples.listen", this);
|
|
bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/action-locked.png"));
|
|
bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/action-unlocked.png"), Action::Yes);
|
|
bt->setText("Click to make changes...");
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
This demonstrates the use of ActionButtons, that lets you associate multiple buttons with a
|
|
single action with extreme ease. \c listenPB and \c listenCB, both defined in the ui file,
|
|
are kept in sync with the action.
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
connect(bt, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(activateAction()));
|
|
connect(bt, SIGNAL(clicked(QAbstractButton*,bool)), bt, SLOT(activate()));
|
|
connect(bt, SIGNAL(authorized()), this, SLOT(actionActivated()));
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Those three signals are all you need to control the action and the activation. Action::triggered()
|
|
lets you start the activation/revoke when needed, ActionButton::clicked() lets you do the same thing
|
|
with even more ease, just by manually connecting the signal to ActionButton::activate() (see the docs
|
|
to understand why this connection doesn't happen automatically), and Action::authorized() signal notifies
|
|
you when polkit has authorized you to perform the action.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, usage of polkit-qt-1 is extremely simple. Have a look at the complete example
|
|
and to the API Docs for more details.
