Detailed Description

A VCardManager can be used to fetch an entities VCard as well as for setting one's own VCard.

You need only one VCardManager per Client/ClientBase.

Fetching a VCard

Create a VCardManager and have a VCardHandler ready. Then simply call fetchVCard() and wait for the result.

 class MyClass : public VCardHandler
 {
   public:
     MyClass()
     {
       m_myClass = new MyClass();
       m_vcardManager = new VCardManager( m_client );
     };

   ...

     void fetchVCard( const JID& jid )
     {
       m_vcardManager->fetchVCard( jid, this );
     };

     virtual void handleVCard( const JID& jid, const VCard* vcard );
     {
       printf( "received vcard\n" );
     };

     virtual void handleVCardResult( VCardContext context, const JID& jid,
                                     StanzaError se )
     {
       printf( "vcard operation result received\n" );
     };

   ...

   private:
     VCardManager* m_vcardManager;
 };

Storing one's own VCard

Note:: Some, if not many, servers do not implement support for all the fields specified in XEP-0054. Therefore it is possible that you cannot retrieve fields you stored previously.

Similar to the above, you need a VCardManager and a VCardHandler. Then construct your VCard and call storeVCard().

     void storeMyVCard()
     {
       VCard* v = new VCard();
       v->setFormattedname( "Me" );
       v->setNickname( "Myself" );
       ...
       m_vcardManager->storeVCard( v, this );
     };

This implementation supports more than one address, address label, email address and telephone number.

Note:: Currently, this implementation lacks support for the following fields: AGENT, CATEGORIES, SOUND, KEY

When cleaning up, delete your VCardManager instance before deleting the Client/ClientBase instance.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VCardManager ( ClientBase * parent )

Constructor.
Parameters:

parent The ClientBase object to use for communication.

Definition at line 24 of file vcardmanager.cpp.

~VCardManager ( ) [virtual]

Virtual destructor.
Definition at line 35 of file vcardmanager.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void cancelVCardOperations ( VCardHandler * vch )

Use this function, e.g. from your VCardHandler-derived class's dtor, to cancel any outstanding operations (fetchVCard(), storeVCard()). Calling this function even if no operations are pending is just fine.
Parameters:

vch The VCardHandler to remove from any queues.

Since:
0.9

Definition at line 62 of file vcardmanager.cpp.

void fetchVCard ( const JID & jid,

VCardHandler * vch

)

Use this function to fetch the VCard of a remote entity or yourself. The result will be announced by calling handleVCard() the VCardHandler.
Parameters:

jid The entity's JID. Should be a bare JID unless you want to fetch the VCard of, e.g., a MUC item.

vch The VCardHandler that will receive the result of the VCard fetch.

Definition at line 45 of file vcardmanager.cpp.

virtual bool handleIq ( const IQ & iq ) [inline, virtual]

Reimplement this function if you want to be notified about incoming IQs.
Parameters:

iq The complete IQ stanza.

Returns:
Indicates whether a request of type 'get' or 'set' has been handled. This includes the obligatory 'result' answer. If you return false, a 'error' will be sent.

Since:
1.0

Implements IqHandler.
Definition at line 142 of file vcardmanager.h.

void handleIqID ( const IQ & iq,

int context

) [virtual]

Reimplement this function if you want to be notified about incoming IQs with a specific value of the id attribute. You have to enable tracking of those IDs using Client::trackID(). This is usually useful for IDs that generate a positive reply, i.e. <iq type='result' id='reg'/> where a namespace filter wouldn't work.
Parameters:

iq The complete IQ stanza.

context A value to restore context, stored with ClientBase::trackID().

Note:
Only IQ stanzas of type 'result' or 'error' can arrive here.

Since:
1.0

Implements IqHandler.
Definition at line 88 of file vcardmanager.cpp.

void storeVCard ( VCard * vcard,

VCardHandler * vch

)

Use this function to store or update your own VCard on the server. Remember to always send a full VCard, not a delta of changes. If you, for any reason, pass a foreign VCard to this function, your own will be overwritten.
Parameters:

vcard Your VCard to store.

vch The VCardHandler that will receive the result of the VCard store.
