Currently, you just have to understand that there do exist several backends for every type of PIM data (Contact, Todo, Datebook) which controls whether you want to access an XML, SQL (SQLite) or VCard style database. If you just want to use the default database, you even don't have to think about this! \layout Standard In the next chapter, we will show how to access the default database as easy as possible. This will be the solution for most of the problems you may face while accessing the PIM data. \layout Chapter Quick Guide to access the Database \layout Standard In this chapter we will introduce very quickly how to get access to the database and how to access data. It should help to find the right directions. If it is too short for you, you should read the next chapter afterwards to find a more complete and detailed view into the system. \layout Section Instantiate the access-object \begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:Instantiate-the-Access} \end_inset \layout Standard To gain access to the database you need something we will call \emph on access-object \emph default (an instance of the access-class for the database) which handles the database access. Requesting such an object is very easy by using the operation \emph on defaultAccess() \emph default of the factory class \series bold OPimAccessFactory \series default (see \begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sra.uni-hannover.de/~eilers/apidocs/pim2/html/classOpie_1_1OPimAccessFactory.html} \end_inset ). This operation is defined like this: \layout LyX-Code -T* defaultAccess (typename OPimGlobal::PimType type, const QString &appName) +T* defaultAccess (typename OPimGlobal::PimType type, const QString &appName) \layout Standard You just have to add the following lines to your source code to use it (this example is for accessing the contact database): \layout LyX-Code #include <opie2/opimaccessfactory.h> \layout LyX-Code use namespace Opie; \layout Standard [...] \layout LyX-Code OPimContactAccess* sourceDB = OPimAccessFactory<OPimContactAccess>::defaultAcces s( OPimGlobal::CONTACTLIST, "my-app" ); \layout Standard If everything works as expected, you will receive a pointer to the contact access-class which has to be used for accessing the database.

If you want to use anything else, you have to read the next chapter to get the information how to do this. \layout Standard The last parameter \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset my-app \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset is very importand and should be equal for every instance of an application. Some database backends (like the XML backend) uses this string as an unique filename to create a journal file. If your application should run in several instances independently you will need multiple journal files and therefore several name strings! \layout Standard If the database access-object is is not needed anymore, you have to remove it by calling \emph on delete \emph default : \layout LyX-Code delete sourceDB; \layout Section Accessing the Access-Object \begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:Accessing-the-access-object} \end_inset \layout Standard After receiving the access-object, we just have to use its API which is mainly defined by the common base class \series bold OPimAccessTemplate \series default (see \begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sra.uni-hannover.de/~eilers/apidocs/pim2/html/classOpie_1_1OPimAccessTemplate.html} \end_inset ). This API is inherited by all access-classes and therefore common to all access-objects. We will show the most important operations of it first (please replace \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset T \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset below with the corresponding \emph on data-class \emph default for the selected access-class: OPimContact \begin_inset Foot -collapsed true +collapsed false \layout Standard see \begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sra.uni-hannover.de/~eilers/apidocs/pim2/html/classOpie_1_1OPimContact.html} \end_inset \end_inset for OPimContactAccess, OPimEvent \begin_inset Foot -collapsed true +collapsed false \layout Standard see \begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sra.uni-hannover.de/~eilers/apidocs/pim2/html/classOpie_1_1OPimEvent.html} \end_inset \end_inset for ODateBookAccess and OPimTodo \begin_inset Foot -collapsed true +collapsed false \layout Standard see \begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sra.uni-hannover.de/~eilers/apidocs/pim2/html/classOpie_1_1OPimTodo.html} \end_inset \end_inset for OPimTodoAccess): \layout LyX-Code bool load (); \layout LyX-Code -bool reload (); +bool reload (); \layout LyX-Code bool save (); \layout LyX-Code \layout LyX-Code -bool add (const T& t); +bool add (const T& t); \layout LyX-Code -bool remove (const T& t); +bool remove (const T& t); \layout LyX-Code -bool replace (const T& t); +bool replace (const T& t); \layout Standard After receiving an access-object, we have to load the existing dataset into the backend, which is done by the \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset load() \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset operation.

This list is returned by the call \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset allRecords() \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset which returns a list of all available records as an \series bold OPimRecordList \series default (see \begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.sra.uni-hannover.de/~eilers/apidocs/pim2/html/classOpie_1_1OPimRecordList.html} \end_inset ). \layout LyX-Code -List allRecords (); +List allRecords(); \layout Standard In fact, this \emph on List \emph default just contains a list of uid's to take care of memory space. - As every record is identified by an unique identifaction number which is - called UID (Unique IDentification), these numbers just exists once in the - database which is currently on access!

The next chapter will guide you into more details of the PIM-API. \layout Chapter How to Access PIM-Data: Detailed View \layout Standard As shown in the previous chapter, all we need to access the PIM-Database is to request an access-object from the OPimAccessFactory and to use it. We will now introduce some special features of this factory (see section \begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Advanced-Factory-Features} \end_inset ), followed by some very important features like searching and sorting in section \begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Special-Features:-Searching} \end_inset .

This search type returns all records which contains the given regular expressio n \emph on anywhere \emph default in the dataset.

This is a very advanced search function which allows to search in a very fine granular manner. \layout Standard We will start with the first and very simple \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset matchRegexp() \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset , followed by the query by example search query. \layout Subsection Searching with \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset matchRegexp() \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset \layout Standard The function is defined like this: \layout LyX-Code -List matchRegexp (const QRegExp &r); +List matchRegexp (const QRegExp& r); \layout Standard The \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset List \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset is still a OPimRecordList which contains 0 or more uid's of matching records. As already discussed in section \begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Accessing-the-access-object} \end_inset you have to use the \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset find() \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset operation to request the real records. \layout Subsection Searching with Query By Example \layout Standard The query by example search style is working is using a data object (for instance an OPimContact) to store the search query.

All filled fields are taken for the search operation (using an \begin_inset Quotes gld \end_inset AND \begin_inset Quotes grd \end_inset operation), the unused ones are simply ignored.
