Description

GClueSimple make it very simple to get latest location and monitoring location updates. It takes care of the boring tasks of creating a GClueClientProxy instance, starting it, waiting till we have a location fix and then creating a GClueLocationProxy instance for it.

Use gclue_simple_new() or gclue_simple_new_sync() to create a new GClueSimple instance. Once you have a GClueSimple instance, you can get the latest location using gclue_simple_get_location() or reading the “location” property. To monitor location updates, connect to notify signal for this property.

While most applications will find this API very useful, it is most useful for applications that simply want to get the current location as quickly as possible and do not care about accuracy (much).

Functions

gclue_simple_new ()

void
gclue_simple_new (const char *desktop_id,
                  GClueAccuracyLevel accuracy_level,
                  GCancellable *cancellable,
                  GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                  gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously creates a GClueSimple instance. Use gclue_simple_new_finish() to get the created GClueSimple instance.

See gclue_simple_new_sync() for the synchronous, blocking version of this function.

Parameters

desktop_id

The desktop file id (the basename of the desktop file).

 

accuracy_level

The requested accuracy level as GClueAccuracyLevel.

 

cancellable

A GCancellable or NULL.

[allow-none]

callback

A GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the results are ready.

 

user_data

User data to pass to callback .

 

gclue_simple_new_finish ()

GClueSimple *
gclue_simple_new_finish (GAsyncResult *result,
                         GError **error);

Finishes an operation started with gclue_simple_new().

Parameters

result

The GAsyncResult obtained from the GAsyncReadyCallback passed to gclue_simple_new().

 

error

Return location for error or NULL.

 

Returns

The constructed proxy object or NULL if error is set.

gclue_simple_new_sync ()

                       GCancellable *cancellable,
                       GError **error);

The synchronous and blocking version of gclue_simple_new().

Parameters

desktop_id

The desktop file id (the basename of the desktop file).

 

accuracy_level

The requested accuracy level as GClueAccuracyLevel.

 

cancellable

A GCancellable or NULL.

[allow-none]

error

Return location for error or NULL.

 

Returns

gclue_simple_get_client ()

GClueClient *
gclue_simple_get_client (GClueSimple *simple);

Gets the client proxy.

Parameters

simple

A GClueSimple object.

 

Returns

The client object.

[transfer none][type GClueClientProxy]


gclue_simple_get_location ()

GClueLocation *
gclue_simple_get_location (GClueSimple *simple);

Gets the current location.

Parameters

simple

A GClueSimple object.

 

Returns

The last known location as GClueLocation.

[transfer none][type GClueLocationProxy]
