ActionSet
Since: BlackBerry 10.0.0
#include <bb/cascades/ActionSet>
Used to group a set of actions to be displayed in the Context Menu.
The Context Menu is a menu that is displayed by pressing and holding a control. It displays a set of actions that are relevant for that particular control.
An example is an application showing a list of emails where the user can press and hold a particular email to show the Context Menu. The menu could then typically show actions such as "Reply", "Forward" and "Read".
It is possible to specify several ActionSet objects on the same control. Currently, only the first ActionSet is used.
Here is an example of how to specify ActionSet objects, in QML:
ImageView { imageSource: "john.png" contextActions: [ ActionSet { title: "Email" subtitle: "From: John Doe" ActionItem {title: "Reply"} ActionItem {title: "Forward"} }, ActionSet { title: "Sender" ActionItem {title: "Call"} ActionItem {title: "Send SMS"} } ] }
Here is an example of how to specify ActionSet objects, in C++:
ImageView* imageView = ImageView::create("john.png"); ActionSet* actionSet = ActionSet::create() .title("Email") .subtitle("From: John Doe") .add(ActionItem::create().title("Reply")) .add(ActionItem::create().title("Forward")); imageView->addActionSet(actionSet);

Properties
QDeclarativeListProperty
A list of actions that will be displayed in the Context Menu.
Make sure the AbstractActionItem objects live long enough for the action to occur. This is especially important if you work with just-in-time population of a Context Menu. A good place to clear the ActionSet is just before adding items to it. This way you are sure the objects are still available while they may be used.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
QString
The subtitle displayed in the Context Menu header, below the title.
The Context Menu header is only displayed if either of the properties title or subtitle are set. The default value is QString::Null, indicating no subtitle is set.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
QString
The title displayed in the Context Menu header.

QDeclarativeListProperty< QObject >
A hierarchical list of the UIObject's attached objects.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
QString
This property is overridden from QObject.
QObject::objectName().
BlackBerry 10.0.0
QObject
A read-only property that represents this object's parent.
The parent of an object is specified using QObject::setParent(QObject*). The purpose of the property is to expose the object's parent to QML.
This property is read-only to prevent modifications from QML, where typically the parent is declaratively set. In C++ code, the parent can be explicitly set using QObject::setParent(QObject*), or implicitly set by adding it to a visual container.
The default value of this property is 0.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
bb::cascades::UIConfig
An object that gives access to unit conversion routines.
// Size using design units Container { preferredWidth: ui.du(12) preferredHeight: ui.du(5) } // Size using design units, snap to whole pixels Container { preferredWidth: ui.sdu(13.5) preferredHeight: ui.sdu(7.5) } // Size using absolute pixel values Container { preferredWidth: ui.px(150) preferredHeight: ui.px(50) }C++ use:
Container *container1 = Container::create().background(Color::Red); UIConfig *ui = container1->ui(); container1->setPreferredWidth(ui->du(12)); container1->setPreferredHeight(ui->du(5)); Container *container2 = Container::create().background(Color::Green); container2->setPreferredWidth(ui->sdu(13.5)); container2->setPreferredHeight(ui->sdu(7.5)); Container *container3 = Container::create().background(Color::Blue); container3->setPreferredWidth(ui->px(150)); container3->setPreferredHeight(ui->sdu(50));

Public Functions
Constructs an ActionSet.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
virtual
Destructor.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE void
Adds an action to the ActionSet.
ActionSet takes ownership of the action, so actions cannot be shared. If action already belongs to the ActionSet or actionItem is 0, nothing will happen. Once completed, the actionAdded() signal is emitted.
Parameters | |
---|---|
action |
The actionItem to add to the ActionSet. |
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE bb::cascades::AbstractActionItem *
Returns the action at the specified index.
Ownership of the action remains with the ActionSet.
Parameters | |
---|---|
index |
The index of the action. |
The requested action if the index was valid, 0 otherwise.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE int
Returns the number of actions.
The number of actions.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE int
Returns the index of an action.
If the action does not belong to the ActionSet or if the action is 0, -1 is returned.
Parameters | |
---|---|
action |
The action to get the index of. |
The index of the specified action if the action is valid, -1 otherwise.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE void
Inserts an ActionItem at a specified index in the ActionSet.
ActionSet takes ownership of the action, so actions cannot be shared. If action already belongs to the ActionSet or action is 0, nothing will happen. If the action is currently belongs to another ActionSet, it is removed from that ActionSet, and ownership is transferred to the new ActionSet. Once completed, the actionAdded() signal is emitted.
Parameters | |
---|---|
index |
The index where the action will be placed. If index < 0 the action is inserted as the first item. If index > the number of items in the ActionSet it is added as the last item. |
action |
The AbstractActionItem to add to the ActionSet. |
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE bool
Removes an action from the ActionSet.
Once the action is removed, the ActionSet no longer references it, but it is still owned by the ActionSet. It is up to the application to either delete the removed action, transfer its ownership (by setting its parent) to another object or leave it as a child of the ActionSet (in which case it will be deleted with the ActionSet).
Once completed, the actionRemoved() signal is emitted.
Parameters | |
---|---|
action |
The action to remove. |
true if the action was owned by the ActionSet, false otherwise.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Q_INVOKABLE void
Removes all actions from the ActionSet and frees up their memory.
Once completed, the actionRemoved() signal is emitted with 0 as its parameter.

void 
Emitted when this object is instantiated as a result of loading a QML document and creating the root node (only after the root component that caused this instantiation has completed construction), or when the object is being constructed from its builder class.
This signal indicates that the construction and initialization of the object has been completed, the properties are initialized, and any QML binding values have been assigned to the object.
This signal is not emitted when the object is constructed from C++ using the constructor. If the object is constructed using its builder class, the signal is emitted when the the builder class returns the fully constructed object.
This signal can be used when there is an activity that needs to be performed, such as a property state integrity verification after the object is instantiated from a QML document or a builder, but before control is returned to the application.
BlackBerry 10.0.0
void 
This signal is emitted when the objectName property is changed.
