Detailed Description

A view definition for a contact item.

When reading or opening a contact item using the CContactDatabase class, a view definition may be specified to indicate which field data should be retrieved. See for instance CContactDatabase::ReadContactL().

A view definition for a contact item contains an array of field types, a use (CContactItemViewDef::TUse) and a mode (CContactItemViewDef::TMode). The use indicates whether the field types contained in the view definition should be included in or excluded from the view. The mode indicates whether fields with the hidden attribute should be included or excluded.

Member Function Documentation

AddL ( TFieldType )

IMPORT_C voidAddL(TFieldTypeaFieldType)

Appends a field type to the view definition's array of field types.

Parameters
aFieldTypeThe field type to append to the array of field types.

Contains ( const CContactItem & )

IMPORT_C TBoolContains(const CContactItem &aItem)

Tests whether a contact item complies with the view definition.

This indicates whether or not the item will be included in the view.

Parameters
aItemThe contact item to test.
Return Value
ETrue if any of the item's fields are contained in the view definition (so that the item will be included in the view), EFalse if none of the item's fields are contained in the view definition (so that the item will not be included in the view).

Count ( )

TInt Count()const [inline]

Gets the number of field types in the view definition.

Return Value
The number of field types in the view definition.

ExternalizeL ( RWriteStream & )

IMPORT_C voidExternalizeL(RWriteStream &aStream)const

Externalises the item view definition to a write stream. The presence of this function means that the standard templated operator<<() (defined in s32strm.h) is available to externalise objects of this class.

Parameters
aStreamStream to which the item view definition should be externalised.

Find ( const CContentType & )

IMPORT_C TIntFind(const CContentType &aContentType)const

Searches the view definition for any field type contained in the specified content type.

Parameters
aContentTypeContent type containing the field types to search for.
Return Value
The index in the view definition of the first matching field type or KErrNotFound.

Find ( TFieldType )

IMPORT_C TIntFind(TFieldTypeaFieldType)const

Searches the view definition for the specified field type.

Parameters
aFieldTypeThe field type to search for.
Return Value
The index in the view definition of the matching field type, or KErrNotFound.

InternalizeL ( RReadStream & )

IMPORT_C voidInternalizeL(RReadStream &aStream)

Internalises the item view definition from a read stream. The presence of this function means that the standard templated operator>>() (defined in s32strm.h) is available to internalise objects of this class.

Parameters
aStreamStream from which the item view definition should be internalised.

MatchesAll ( )

IMPORT_C TBoolMatchesAll()const

Tests whether the view definition contains a field type with the value KUidContactFieldMatchAll.

If this is the case, all fields in the contact item are retrieved, regardless of the other field types specified in the view definition.

Return Value
ETrue if all field types are matched, EFalse if not.

Mode ( )

TMode Mode()const [inline]

Gets the view definition's mode.

Return Value
The current TMode setting.

NewL ( TUse, TMode )

IMPORT_C CContactItemViewDef *NewL(TUseaUse,
TModeaMode
)[static]

Allocates and constructs a new CContactItemViewDef, with a use and a mode.

Parameters
aUseSpecifies whether to include or exclude specified fields.
aModeSpecifies whether to include or exclude hidden fields.
Return Value
Pointer to the newly created view definition.

NewLC ( TUse, TMode )

IMPORT_C CContactItemViewDef *NewLC(TUseaUse,
TModeaMode
)[static]

Allocates and constructs a new CContactItemViewDef, specifying a use and a mode, leaving the object on the cleanup stack.

Parameters
aUseSpecifies whether to include or exclude specified fields.
aModeSpecifies whether to include or exclude hidden fields.
Return Value
Pointer to the newly created view definition.

NewLC ( RReadStream & )

CContactItemViewDef *NewLC(RReadStream &aStream)[static]

Allocates and constructs a new CContactItemViewDef based on a RReadStream, specifying a use and a mode, leaving the object on the cleanup stack.

Parameters
aStreamRReadStream containing object to internalize.
Return Value
Pointer to the newly created view definition.

Remove ( TFieldType )

IMPORT_C voidRemove(TFieldTypeaFieldType)

Removes a field type, identified by its UID.

Parameters
aFieldTypeThe field type to remove from the list. This must be present in the CContactItemViewDef object, or the function raises a panic.

Remove ( TInt )

IMPORT_C voidRemove(TIntaIndex)

Removes a field type, identified by its index into the array of field types.

Parameters
aIndexThe index of the element to delete. The position is relative to zero. This value must not be negative and must not be greater than the number of elements currently in the list, or the function raises a panic.

Reset ( )

voidReset()[inline]

Deletes all field types from the view definition's field type array.

SetMode ( TMode )

voidSetMode(TModeaMode)[inline]

Sets the view definition's mode.

Parameters
aModeThe new TMode setting.

SetUse ( TUse )

voidSetUse(TUseaUse)[inline]

Sets the view definition's use.

Parameters
aUseThe new TUse setting.

Use ( )

TUse Use()const [inline]

Gets the view definition's use.

Return Value
The current TUse setting.

operator[] ( TInt )

TUid operator[](TIntaIndex)const [inline]

Gets the field type located at a specified index position within the field type array.

Parameters
aIndexThe position of the field type in the array, relative to zero. It must be non-negative and less than the number of objects in the array otherwise the function raises a panic.
Return Value
The field type located at index aIndex within the array (this is equivalent to a TFieldType).
