Detailed Description

The Applications class provides information on installed applications and packages.

To use this class, clients must add the following to their qmake project:

 CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
 PKGCONFIG += sailfishmdm

and then #include <mdm-applications.h>.

Example of usage:

 #include <mdm-applications.h>
 void printApplications()
 {
     QList<Sailfish::Mdm::ApplicationEntry>  apps = Sailfish::Mdm::Applications().getInstalledApplications();
     foreach (const Sailfish::Mdm::ApplicationEntry &entry, apps) {
         Sailfish::Mdm::PackageEntry package = entry.package();
         qInfo() << "Application name:" << entry.name();
         qInfo() << "From package:"
                 << (package.name().isEmpty() ? QStringLiteral("(none)")
                                              : QString("%1-%2").arg(package.name()).arg(package.version()));
         qInfo() << QStringLiteral("--------");
     }
 }

Member Function Documentation

Applications::Applications(QObject **parent* = 0)

Default constructs an instance of Applications.

`[virtual]` Applications::~Applications()

Destroys the instance of Applications. The destructor is virtual.

QList<ApplicationEntry> Applications::getInstalledApplications()

Returns the list of entries of the applications installed on the device.

QList<PackageEntry> Applications::getInstalledPackages()

Returns the list of entries of the packages installed on the device.

ApplicationOperation Applications::installPackage(const QString &package, const QString &version* = QString())

Installs the given package with the given version from the system's RPM repositories.

ApplicationOperation Applications::removePackage(const QString &package, bool autoremove*)

Removes an installed RPM package.

If autoremove is true, this suggests to remove dependencies that were pulled in by the package and not used by other components.
