tmplRemoteActionGroupT()

The gio.remote_action_group.RemoteActionGroup interface is implemented by gio.action_group.ActionGroup instances that either transmit action invocations to other processes or receive action invocations in the local process from other processes.

The interface has _full variants of the two methods on gio.action_group.ActionGroup used to activate actions: gio.action_group.ActionGroup.activateAction and gio.action_group.ActionGroup.changeActionState. These variants allow a ‘platform data’ glib.variant.Variant to be specified: a dictionary providing context for the action invocation (for example: timestamps, startup notification IDs, etc).

gio.dbus_action_group.DBusActionGroup implements gio.remote_action_group.RemoteActionGroup. This provides a mechanism to send platform data for action invocations over D-Bus.

Additionally, gio.dbus_connection.DBusConnection.exportActionGroup will check if the exported gio.action_group.ActionGroup implements gio.remote_action_group.RemoteActionGroup and use the _full variants of the calls if available. This provides a mechanism by which to receive platform data for action invocations that arrive by way of D-Bus.

Functions

void activateActionFull(string actionName, glib.variant.Variant parameter, glib.variant.Variant platformData)

Activates the remote action.

This is the same as gio.action_group.ActionGroup.activateAction except that it allows for provision of "platform data" to be sent along with the activation request. This typically contains details such as the user interaction timestamp or startup notification information.

platform_data must be non-null and must have the type G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT. If it is floating, it will be consumed.

Parameters

`actionName`	the name of the action to activate
`parameter`	the optional parameter to the activation
`platformData`	the platform data to send

void changeActionStateFull(string actionName, glib.variant.Variant value, glib.variant.Variant platformData)

Changes the state of a remote action.

This is the same as gio.action_group.ActionGroup.changeActionState except that it allows for provision of "platform data" to be sent along with the state change request. This typically contains details such as the user interaction timestamp or startup notification information.

platform_data must be non-null and must have the type G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT. If it is floating, it will be consumed.

Parameters

`actionName`	the name of the action to change the state of
`value`	the new requested value for the state
`platformData`	the platform data to send
