Detailed Description

A scheduled task is some information about a folder job that should be run later.

As long as it's not running, it's called a "task", i.e. something that needs to be done. Tasks are managed by the JobScheduler.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ScheduledTask()

ScheduledTask::ScheduledTask	(	const Akonadi::Collection &	folder,
		bool	immediate )

Creates a scheduled task for a given folder.

If immediate is true, the scheduler will run this task as soon as possible (but won't interrupt a currently running job for it).

Definition at line 10 of file jobscheduler.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

folder()

Akonadi::Collection ScheduledTask::folder ( ) const

nodiscard

The folder which this task is supposed to handle, 0 if it was deleted meanwhile.

Definition at line 16 of file jobscheduler.cpp.

isImmediate()

bool ScheduledTask::isImmediate ( ) const

nodiscard

Definition at line 21 of file jobscheduler.cpp.

run()

virtual ScheduledJob * MailCommon::ScheduledTask::run ( )

pure virtual

Run this task, i.e.

create a job for it. Important: the job's execute() method must either call open() on the folder or storage immediately, or abort (deleting itself). Usually, that job should also be cancellable. Otherwise (if the open() is delayed) an unrelated open() could happen first and mess things up. If for some reason (e.g. a folder is deleted) nothing should be done, return 0.

Implemented in MailCommon::ScheduledExpireTask.

taskTypeId()

virtual int MailCommon::ScheduledTask::taskTypeId ( ) const

pure virtual

An identifier for the type of task (a bit like QListViewItem::rtti).

This allows to automatically prevent two identical tasks from being scheduled for the same folder. To circumvent this feature and make every task unique, return 0 here.

Implemented in MailCommon::ScheduledExpireTask.
