## Implemented Interfaces

TpBaseContactList implements TpChannelManager.

## Includes

    #include <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib.h>

## Description

This class represents a connection's contact list (roster, buddy list etc.) inside a connection manager. It can be used to implement the ContactList D-Bus interface on the Connection.

Connections that use TpBaseContactList must also have the TpContactsMixin.

Connection managers should subclass TpBaseContactList, implementing the virtual methods for core functionality in TpBaseContactListClass. Then, in the connection manager's TpBaseConnection subclass:

- in G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE, implement TP_TYPE_SVC_CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_LIST using `tp_base_contact_list_mixin_list_iface_init()`:

      1
      2
      3
      4
      5
      6
      7
      G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (MyConnection, my_connection,
          TP_TYPE_BASE_CONNECTION,
          // ...
          G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_LIST,
              tp_base_contact_list_mixin_list_iface_init);
          // ...
          )

- in the `class_init` method, call `tp_base_contact_list_mixin_class_init()` after `tp_contacts_mixin_class_init()`:

      1
      2
      3
      4
      5
      // ...
      tp_contacts_mixin_class_init (object_class,
          G_STRUCT_OFFSET (MyConnectionClass, contacts_mixin));
      tp_base_contact_list_mixin_class_init (base_connection_class);
      // ...

  and include `TP_IFACE_CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_LIST` in the output of TpBaseConnectionClass.get_interfaces_always_present;

- in the TpBaseConnectionClass.create_channel_managers implementation, create an instance of the TpBaseContactList subclass, and include it in the returned GPtrArray;

- in the `constructed` method, call `tp_base_contact_list_mixin_register_with_contacts_mixin()` on the connection.

To support user-defined contact groups too, additionally implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST` in the TpBaseContactList subclass, add the `TP_IFACE_CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_GROUPS` interface to the output of TpBaseConnectionClass.get interfaces_always_present, and implement the `TP_TYPE_SVC_CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_GROUPS` in the TpBaseConnection subclass using `tp_base_contact_list_mixin_groups_iface_init()`.

Optionally, one or more of the TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST, TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST, and TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST GObject interfaces may also be implemented, as appropriate to the protocol.

In versions of the Telepathy D-Bus Interface Specification prior to 0.21.0, this functionality was provided as a collection of individual ContactList channels. As a result, this object also implements the TpChannelManager interface, so that it can provide those channels. The channel objects are internal to this object, and not considered to be part of the API.

## Functions

### tp_base_contact_list_mixin_class_init ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_mixin_class_init (TpBaseConnectionClass *cls);

Register the TpBaseContactList to be used like a mixin in `cls` . Before this function is called, the TpContactsMixin must be initialized with `tp_contacts_mixin_class_init()`.

If the connection implements TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactGroups, this function automatically sets up that interface as well as ContactList. In this case, when the TpBaseContactList is created later, it must implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`.

#### Parameters

cls | A subclass of TpBaseConnection that has a TpContactsMixinClass, and implements TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactList using TpBaseContactList |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_mixin_register_with_contacts_mixin ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_mixin_register_with_contacts_mixin
                                   (TpBaseConnection *conn);

Register the ContactList interface with the Contacts interface to make it inspectable. Before this function is called, the TpContactsMixin must be initialized with `tp_contacts_mixin_init()`, and `conn` must have a TpBaseContactList in its list of channel managers (by creating it in its TpBaseConnectionClass.create_channel_managers implementation).

If the connection implements TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactGroups the TpBaseContactList implements `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this function automatically also registers the ContactGroups interface with the contacts mixin.

#### Parameters

conn | An instance of TpBaseConnection that uses a TpContactsMixin, and implements TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactList using TpBaseContactList |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_mixin_list_iface_init ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_mixin_list_iface_init
                                   (TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactListClass *klass);

Use the TpBaseContactList like a mixin, to implement the ContactList D-Bus interface.

This function should be passed to `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` for TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactList.

#### Parameters

klass | the service-side D-Bus interface |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_mixin_groups_iface_init ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_mixin_groups_iface_init
                                   (TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactGroupsClass *klass);

Use the TpBaseContactList like a mixin, to implement the ContactGroups D-Bus interface.

This function should be passed to `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` for TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactGroups.

#### Parameters

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_mixin_blocking_iface_init ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_mixin_blocking_iface_init
                                   (TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactBlockingClass *klass);

Use the TpBaseContactList like a mixin, to implement the ContactBlocking D-Bus interface.

This function should be passed to `G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE()` for TpSvcConnectionInterfaceContactBlocking

#### Parameters

klass | the service-side D-Bus interface |

Since: 0.15.1

### tp_base_contact_list_get_state ()

    TpContactListState
    tp_base_contact_list_get_state (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                    GError **error);

Return how much progress this object has made towards retrieving the contact list.

If this contact list's connection has disconnected, or retrieving the contact list has failed, return `TP_CONTACT_LIST_STATE_FAILURE`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list |
error | used to raise an error if something other than `TP_CONTACT_LIST_STATE_SUCCESS` is returned |

#### Returns

the state of the contact list

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_get_connection ()

    TpBaseConnection *
    tp_base_contact_list_get_connection (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                         GError **error);

Return the Connection this contact list uses. If this contact list's connection has already disconnected, return `NULL` instead.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list |
error | used to raise an error if `NULL` is returned |

#### Returns

the connection, or `NULL`.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_set_list_pending ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_set_list_pending (TpBaseContactList *self);

Record that receiving the initial contact list is in progress.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_set_list_failed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_set_list_failed (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                          GQuark domain,
                                          gint code,
                                          const gchar *message);

Record that receiving the initial contact list has failed.

This method cannot be called after `tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received()` is called.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
domain | a GError domain |
code | a GError code |
message | a GError message |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Record that the initial contact list has been received. This allows the contact list manager to reply to requests for the list of contacts that were previously made, and reply to subsequent requests immediately.

This method can be called at most once for a contact list manager.

In protocols where there's no good definition of the point at which the initial contact list has been received (such as link-local XMPP), this method may be called immediately.

The TpBaseContactListDupContactsFunc and TpBaseContactListDupStatesFunc must already give correct results when entering this method.

If implemented, `tp_base_contact_list_dup_blocked_contacts()` must also give correct results when entering this method.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_contacts_changed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_contacts_changed (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                           TpHandleSet *changed,
                                           TpHandleSet *removed);

Emit signals for a change to the contact list.

The results of TpBaseContactListDupContactsFunc and TpBaseContactListDupStatesFunc must already reflect the contacts' new statuses when entering this method (in practice, this means that implementations must update their own cache of contacts before calling this method).

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
changed | a set of contacts added to the contact list or with a changed status. | [allow-none]
removed | a set of contacts removed from the contact list. | [allow-none]

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_one_contact_changed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_one_contact_changed
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                    TpHandle changed);

Convenience wrapper around `tp_base_contact_list_contacts_changed()` for a single handle in the 'changed' set and no 'removed' set.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
changed | a contact handle |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_one_contact_removed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_one_contact_removed
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                    TpHandle removed);

Convenience wrapper around `tp_base_contact_list_contacts_changed()` for a single handle in the 'removed' set and no 'changed' set.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
removed | a contact handle |

Since: 0.13.0

### TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc ()

    gboolean
    (*TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc) (TpBaseContactList *self);

Signature of a virtual method that returns a boolean result. These are used for feature-discovery.

For the simple cases of a constant result, use `tp_base_contact_list_true_func()` or `tp_base_contact_list_false_func()`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

a boolean result

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_false_func ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_false_func (TpBaseContactList *self);

An implementation of TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc that returns `FALSE`, for use in simple cases.

#### Parameters

self | ignored |

#### Returns

`FALSE`

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_true_func ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_true_func (TpBaseContactList *self);

An implementation of TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc that returns `TRUE`, for use in simple cases.

#### Parameters

self | ignored |

#### Returns

`TRUE`

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_get_contact_list_persists ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_get_contact_list_persists
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return whether subscriptions on this protocol persist between sessions (i.e. are stored on the server).

This is a virtual method, implemented using TpBaseContactListClass.get_contact_list_persists.

The default implementation is `tp_base_contact_list_true_func()`, which is correct for most protocols. Protocols where the contact list isn't stored should use `tp_base_contact_list_false_func()` as their implementation.

In the rare case of a protocol where subscriptions sometimes persist and this is detected while connecting, the subclass can implement another TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc (whose result must remain constant after the TpBaseConnection has moved to state `TP_CONNECTION_STATUS_CONNECTED`), and use that as the implementation.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if subscriptions persist

Since: 0.13.0

### TpBaseContactListDupContactsFunc ()

    TpHandleSet *
    (*TpBaseContactListDupContactsFunc) (TpBaseContactList *self);

Signature of a virtual method to list contacts with a particular state; the required state is defined by the particular virtual method being implemented.

The implementation is expected to have a cache of contacts on the contact list, which is updated based on protocol events.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |

#### Returns

a set of contacts with the desired state.

[transfer full]

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_dup_contacts ()

    TpHandleSet *
    tp_base_contact_list_dup_contacts (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return the contact list. It is incorrect to call this method before `tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received()` has been called, or after the connection has disconnected.

This is a virtual method, implemented using TpBaseContactListClass.dup_contacts. Every subclass of TpBaseContactList must implement this method.

If the contact list implements `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, blocked contacts should not appear in the result of this method unless they are considered to be on the contact list for some other reason.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

a new TpHandleSet of contact handles.

[transfer full]

Since: 0.13.0

### TpBaseContactListDupStatesFunc ()

    void
    (*TpBaseContactListDupStatesFunc) (TpBaseContactList *self,

                                       TpSubscriptionState *publish,
                                       gchar **publish_request);

Signature of a virtual method to get contacts' presences. It should return `subscribe` = `TP_SUBSCRIPTION_STATE_NO`, `publish` = `TP_SUBSCRIPTION_STATE_NO` and `publish_request` = "", without error, for any contact not on the contact list.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
contact | the contact |
subscribe | used to return the state of the user's subscription to `contact` 's presence. | [out][allow-none]
publish | used to return the state of `contact` 's subscription to the user's presence. | [out][allow-none]
publish_request | if `publish` will be set to `TP_SUBSCRIPTION_STATE_ASK`, used to return the message that `contact` sent when they requested permission to see the user's presence; otherwise, used to return an empty string. | [out][allow-none][transfer full]

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_dup_states ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_dup_states (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                     TpHandle contact,
                                     TpSubscriptionState *subscribe,
                                     TpSubscriptionState *publish,
                                     gchar **publish_request);

Return the presence subscription state of `contact` . It is incorrect to call this method before `tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received()` has been called, or after the connection has disconnected.

This is a virtual method, implemented using TpBaseContactListClass.dup_states. Every subclass of TpBaseContactList must implement this method.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
contact | the contact |
subscribe | used to return the state of the user's subscription to `contact` 's presence. | [out][allow-none]
publish | used to return the state of `contact` 's subscription to the user's presence. | [out][allow-none]
publish_request | if `publish` will be set to `TP_SUBSCRIPTION_STATE_ASK`, used to return the message that `contact` sent when they requested permission to see the user's presence; otherwise, used to return an empty string. | [out][allow-none][transfer full]

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_get_download_at_connection ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_get_download_at_connection
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

This function returns the “download-at-connection” property.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

the “download-at-connection” property

Since: 0.18.0

### tp_base_contact_list_can_change_contact_list ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_can_change_contact_list
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return whether the contact list can be changed.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this method always returns `FALSE`.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST` this is a virtual method, implemented using TpMutableContactListInterface.can_change_contact_list. The default implementation always returns `TRUE`.

In the rare case of a protocol where subscriptions can only sometimes be changed and this is detected while connecting, the TpBaseContactList subclass should implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`. TpMutableContactListInterface.can_change_contact_list to its own implementation, whose result must remain constant after the TpBaseConnection has moved to state `TP_CONNECTION_STATUS_CONNECTED`.

(For instance, this could be useful for XMPP, where subscriptions can normally be altered, but on connections to Facebook Chat servers this is not actually supported.)

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the contact list can be changed

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_get_request_uses_message ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_get_request_uses_message
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return whether the `tp_base_contact_list_request_subscription_async()` method's `message` argument is actually used.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this method is meaningless, and always returns `FALSE`.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method, implemented using TpMutableContactListInterface.get_request_uses_message. The default implementation always returns `TRUE`, which is correct for most protocols; subclasses may reimplement this method with `tp_base_contact_list_false_func()` or a custom implementation if desired.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if `tp_base_contact_list_request_subscription_async()` will not ignore its `message` argument

Since: 0.13.0

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method which must be implemented, using TpMutableContactListInterface.request_subscription_async. The implementation should call `tp_base_contact_list_contacts_changed()` for any contacts it has changed, before it calls `callback` .

If `message` will be ignored, TpMutableContactListInterface.get_request_uses_message should also be reimplemented to return `FALSE`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method, which may be implemented using TpMutableContactListInterface.store_contacts_async. The implementation should call `tp_base_contact_list_contacts_changed()` for any contacts it has changed, before calling `callback` .

If the implementation of TpMutableContactListInterface.store_contacts_async is `NULL` (which is the default), this method calls `callback` to signal success, but does nothing in the underlying protocol.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
contacts | the contacts to be stored |
callback | a callback to call when the operation succeeds or fails |
user_data | optional data to pass to `callback` |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_group_renamed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_group_renamed (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                        const gchar *old_name,
                                        const gchar *new_name);

Called by subclasses when a group has been renamed.

Calling `tp_base_contact_list_dup_group_members()` for `old_name` during this method should return the group's old members. If this is done correctly by a subclass, then `tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed()` will automatically be emitted for the members, and the subclass does not need to do so.

It is an error to call this method on a contact list that does not implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
old_name | the group's old name |
new_name | the group's new name |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                         TpHandleSet *contacts,
                                         const gchar * const *added,
                                         gssize n_added,
                                         const gchar * const *removed,
                                         gssize n_removed);

Called by subclasses when groups' membership has been changed.

If any of the groups in `added` are not already known to exist, this method also signals that they were created, as if `tp_base_contact_list_groups_created()` had been called first.

It is an error to call this method on a contact list that does not implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
contacts | a set containing one or more contacts |
added | zero or more groups to which the `contacts` were added, or `NULL` (which has the same meaning as an empty list). | [array length=n_added][element-type utf8][allow-none]
n_added | the number of groups added, or -1 if `added` is `NULL`-terminated |
removed | zero or more groups from which the `contacts` were removed, or `NULL` (which has the same meaning as an empty list). | [array zero-terminated=1][element-type utf8][allow-none]
n_removed | the number of groups removed, or -1 if `removed` is `NULL`-terminated |

### tp_base_contact_list_one_contact_groups_changed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_one_contact_groups_changed
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                    TpHandle contact,
                                    const gchar * const *added,
                                    gssize n_added,
                                    const gchar * const *removed,
                                    gssize n_removed);

Convenience wrapper around `tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed()` for a single handle in the 'contacts' set.

(There is no equivalent function for `added` and `removed` having trivial contents, because you can already use `NULL, 0` for an empty list or `&group_name, 1` for a single group.)

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
contact | a contact handle |
added | zero or more groups to which `contact` was added, or `NULL`. | [array length=n_added][element-type utf8][allow-none]
n_added | the number of groups added, or -1 if `added` is `NULL`-terminated |
removed | zero or more groups from which the `contact` was removed, or `NULL`. | [array zero-terminated=1][element-type utf8][allow-none]
n_removed | the number of groups removed, or -1 if `removed` is `NULL`-terminated |

                                         const gchar * const *created,
                                         gssize n_created);

Called by subclasses when new groups have been created. This will typically be followed by a call to `tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed()` to add some members to those groups.

It is an error to call this method on a contact list that does not implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
created | zero or more groups that were created. | [array length=n_created][element-type utf8][allow-none]
n_created | the number of groups created, or -1 if `created` is `NULL`-terminated |

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_groups_removed ()

    void
    tp_base_contact_list_groups_removed (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                         const gchar * const *removed,
                                         gssize n_removed);

Called by subclasses when groups have been removed.

Calling `tp_base_contact_list_dup_group_members()` during this method should return the groups' old members. If this is done correctly by a subclass, then `tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed()` will automatically be emitted for the old members, and the subclass does not need to do so.

It is an error to call this method on a contact list that does not implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
removed | zero or more groups that were removed. | [array length=n_removed][element-type utf8][allow-none]
n_removed | the number of groups removed, or -1 if `removed` is `NULL`-terminated |

### tp_base_contact_list_has_disjoint_groups ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_has_disjoint_groups
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return whether groups in this protocol are disjoint (i.e. each contact can be in at most one group). This is merely informational: subclasses are responsible for making appropriate calls to `tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed()`, etc.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this method is meaningless, and always returns `FALSE`.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this is a virtual method, implemented using TpContactGroupListInterface.has_disjoint_groups.

The default implementation is `tp_base_contact_list_false_func()`; subclasses where groups are disjoint should use `tp_base_contact_list_true_func()` instead. In the unlikely event that a protocol can have disjoint groups, or not, determined at runtime, it can use a custom implementation.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if groups are disjoint

                                    gpointer user_data);

Signature of an implementation of `tp_base_contact_list_set_contact_groups_async()`.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

                                    gpointer user_data);

Add `contact` to each group in `normalized_names` , creating them if necessary, and remove `contact` from any other groups of which they are a member.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, it is an error to call this method.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this is a virtual method which must be implemented, using TpMutableContactGroupListInterface.set_contact_groups_async. The implementation should call `tp_base_contact_list_groups_changed()` for any changes it successfully made, before returning.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
contact | a contact handle |
normalized_names | the normalized names of some groups. | [array length=n_names]
n_names | the number of groups |
callback | a callback to call on success, failure or disconnection |

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this is a virtual method which may be implemented using TpMutableContactGroupListInterface.set_contact_groups_finish. If the `result` will be a GSimpleAsyncResult, the default implementation may be used.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
result | the result passed to `callback` by an implementation of `tp_base_contact_list_set_contact_groups_async()` |
error | used to raise an error if `FALSE` is returned |

                                    const gchar *old_name,
                                    const gchar *new_name,

                                    gpointer user_data);

Rename a group; if possible, do so as an atomic operation. If this protocol can't do that, emulate renaming in terms of other operations.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, it is an error to call this method.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this is a virtual method which may be implemented, using TpMutableContactGroupListInterface.rename_group_async.

If this virtual method is not implemented, the default is to implement renaming a group as creating the new group, adding all the old group's members to it, and removing the old group: this is appropriate for protocols like XMPP, in which groups behave more like tags.

The implementation should call `tp_base_contact_list_group_renamed()` before calling `callback` .

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
old_name | the normalized name of a group, which must exist |
new_name | a new normalized name for the group name |
callback | a callback to call on success, failure or disconnection |
user_data | user data for the callback |

### tp_base_contact_list_rename_group_finish ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_rename_group_finish
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                    GAsyncResult *result,
                                    GError **error);

Interpret the result of an asynchronous call to `tp_base_contact_list_rename_group_async()`.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, it is an error to call this method.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this is a virtual method which may be implemented using TpMutableContactGroupListInterface.rename_group_finish. If the `result` will be a GSimpleAsyncResult, the default implementation may be used.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
result | the result passed to `callback` by an implementation of `tp_base_contact_list_rename_group_async()` |
error | used to raise an error if `FALSE` is returned |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on error

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_get_group_storage ()

    TpContactMetadataStorageType
    tp_base_contact_list_get_group_storage
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return the extent to which user-defined groups can be set in this protocol. If this is `TP_CONTACT_METADATA_STORAGE_TYPE_NONE`, methods that would alter the group list will not be called.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this method is meaningless, and always returns `TP_CONTACT_METADATA_STORAGE_TYPE_NONE`.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_GROUP_LIST`, this is a virtual method, implemented using TpMutableContactGroupListInterface.get_group_storage.

The default implementation is `NULL`, which is treated as equivalent to an implementation that always returns `TP_CONTACT_METADATA_STORAGE_TYPE_ANYONE`. A custom implementation can also be used.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

a TpContactMetadataStorageType

                                   (TpBaseContactList *self,
                                    TpHandleSet *contacts,
                                    gboolean report_abusive,
                                    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                    gpointer user_data);

Signature of a virtual method that blocks a set of contacts, optionally reporting them to the server operator as abusive.

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
contacts | the contacts to block |
report_abusive | whether to report the contacts as abusive to the server operator |
callback | a callback to call on success, failure or disconnection |
user_data | user data for the callback |

Since: 0.15.1

### tp_base_contact_list_can_block ()

    gboolean
    tp_base_contact_list_can_block (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return whether this contact list has a list of blocked contacts. If it does, that list is assumed to be modifiable.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this method always returns `FALSE`.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method, implemented using TpBlockableContactListInterface.can_block. The default implementation always returns `TRUE`.

In the case of a protocol where blocking may or may not work and this is detected while connecting, the subclass can implement another TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc (whose result must remain constant after the TpBaseConnection has moved to state `TP_CONNECTION_STATUS_CONNECTED`), and use that as the implementation.

(For instance, this could be useful for XMPP, where support for contact blocking is server-dependent: telepathy-gabble 0.8.x implements it for connections to Google Talk servers, but not for any other server.)

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if communication from contacts can be blocked

Since: 0.13.0

### tp_base_contact_list_dup_blocked_contacts ()

    TpHandleSet *
    tp_base_contact_list_dup_blocked_contacts
                                   (TpBaseContactList *self);

Return the list of blocked contacts. It is incorrect to call this method before `tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received()` has been called, after the connection has disconnected, or on a TpBaseContactList that does not implement `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method, implemented using TpBlockableContactListInterface.dup_blocked_contacts. It must always be implemented.

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |

#### Returns

a new TpHandleSet of contact handles.

                                    gpointer user_data);

Request that the given contacts are prevented from communicating with the user, and that presence is not sent to them even if they have a valid presence subscription, if possible. This is equivalent to calling `tp_base_contact_list_block_contacts_with_abuse_async()`, passing FALSE as the report_abusive argument.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, it is an error to call this method.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method which must be implemented, using TpBlockableContactListInterface.block_contacts_async or TpBlockableContactListInterface.block_contacts_with_abuse_async. The implementation should call `tp_base_contact_list_contact_blocking_changed()` for any contacts it has changed, before calling `callback` .

#### Parameters

self | a contact list manager |
contacts | contacts whose communications should be blocked |
callback | a callback to call when the operation succeeds or fails |
user_data | optional data to pass to `callback` |

                                    gpointer user_data);

Request that the given contacts are prevented from communicating with the user, and that presence is not sent to them even if they have a valid presence subscription, if possible. If the TpBaseContactList subclass implements TpBlockableContactListInterface.block_contacts_with_abuse_async and `report_abusive` is TRUE, also report the given contacts as abusive to the server operator.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, it is an error to call this method.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method which must be implemented, using TpBlockableContactListInterface.block_contacts_async or TpBlockableContactListInterface.block_contacts_with_abuse_async.

Reverse the effects of `tp_base_contact_list_block_contacts_async()`.

If the TpBaseContactList subclass does not implement `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this method does nothing.

For implementations of `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, this is a virtual method which must be implemented, using TpBlockableContactListInterface.unblock_contacts_async. The implementation should call `tp_base_contact_list_contact_blocking_changed()` for any contacts it has changed, before calling `callback` .

                                    TpHandleSet *changed);

Emit signals for a change to the blocked contacts list.

tp_base_contact_list_dup_blocked_contacts() must already reflect the contacts' new statuses when entering this method (in practice, this means that implementations must update their own cache of contacts before calling this method).

#### Parameters

self | the contact list manager |
changed | a set of contacts who were blocked or unblocked |

## Types and Values

### struct TpBaseContactList

    struct TpBaseContactList;

A connection's contact list (roster, buddy list) inside a connection manager. Each TpBaseConnection may have at most one TpBaseContactList.

This abstract base class provides the Telepathy "view" of the contact list: subclasses must provide access to the "model" by implementing its virtual methods in terms of the protocol's real contact list (e.g. the XMPP roster object in Wocky).

The implementation must call `tp_base_contact_list_set_list_received()` exactly once, when the initial set of contacts has been received (or immediately, if that condition is not meaningful for the protocol).

Since: 0.13.0

### struct TpBaseContactListClass

    struct TpBaseContactListClass {
        GObjectClass parent_class;

        TpBaseContactListDupContactsFunc dup_contacts;
        TpBaseContactListDupStatesFunc dup_states;
        TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc get_contact_list_persists;

        TpBaseContactListAsyncFunc download_async;
        TpBaseContactListAsyncFinishFunc download_finish;
    };

The class of a TpBaseContactList.

Additional functionality can be added by implementing GInterfaces. Most subclasses should implement `TP_TYPE_MUTABLE_CONTACT_LIST`, which allows the contact list to be altered.

Subclasses may implement `TP_TYPE_BLOCKABLE_CONTACT_LIST` if contacts can be blocked from communicating with the user.

#### Members

TpBaseContactListDupContactsFunc `dup_contacts`; | the implementation of `tp_base_contact_list_dup_contacts()`; every subclass must implement this itself |

TpBaseContactListBooleanFunc `get_contact_list_persists`; | the implementation of `tp_base_contact_list_get_contact_list_persists()`; if a subclass does not implement this itself, the default implementation always returns `TRUE`, which is correct for most protocols |
TpBaseContactListAsyncFunc `download_async`; | the implementation of `tp_base_contact_list_download_async()`; if a subclass does not implement this itself, the default implementation will raise TP_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED asynchronously. Since: 0.18.0 |

## Property Details

### The `“connection”` property

      “connection”               TpBaseConnection *

The connection that owns this channel manager. Read-only except during construction.

Owner: TpBaseContactList

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 0.13.0

### The `“download-at-connection”` property

      “download-at-connection”   gboolean

Whether the roster should be automatically downloaded at connection.

This property doesn't change anything in TpBaseContactsList's behaviour. Implementations should check this property when they become connected and in their Download method, and behave accordingly.

Owner: TpBaseContactList

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: TRUE

Since: 0.18.0
