Detailed Description

A registry / canonical manager of data providers.

This is a Singleton class that manages data provider access.

Definition at line 40 of file qgsproviderregistry.h.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef std::map<QString, QgsProviderMetadata*> QgsProviderRegistry::Providers

open the given vector data source

Similar to open(QString const &), except that the user specifies a data provider with which to open the data source instead of using the default data provider that QgsDataManager would figure out to use. This should be useful when (and if) there will exist more than one data provider that can handle a given data source. (E.g., use GDAL to open an SDTS file, or a different data provider that uses sdts++.)

Called by QgsDataManager::open().

Parameters

name	could be a file, URI
provider	is the key for the dataprovider used to open name

Returns: NULL if unable to open vector data source

Temporarily always returns false until finished implementing.

Eventually would be nice if could make QgsDataManager smart enough to figure out whether the given name mapped to a vector, raster, or database source.type for data provider metadata associative container

Member Function Documentation

QString QgsProviderRegistry::databaseDrivers ( ) const

virtual

return a string containing the available database drivers

Note: this method was added in QGIS 1.1

Definition at line 447 of file qgsproviderregistry.cpp.

References mDatabaseDrivers.

QString QgsProviderRegistry::directoryDrivers ( ) const

virtual

return a string containing the available directory drivers

Note: this method was added in QGIS 1.1

References mDirectoryDrivers.

QString QgsProviderRegistry::fileRasterFilters ( ) const

virtual

return raster file filter string

Returns a string suitable for a QFileDialog of raster file formats supported by all data providers.

This walks through all data providers appending calls to their buildSupportedRasterFileFilter to a string, which is then returned.

Note: this method was added in QGIS 2.0; This replaces QgsRasterLayer::buildSupportedRasterFileFilter()

QString QgsProviderRegistry::fileVectorFilters ( ) const

virtual

return vector file filter string

Returns a string suitable for a QFileDialog of vector file formats supported by all data providers.

This walks through all data providers appending calls to their fileVectorFilters to a string, which is then returned.

Note

It'd be nice to eventually be raster/vector neutral.

QgsDataProvider * QgsProviderRegistry::provider	(	const QString &	providerKey,
		const QString &	dataSource
	)

Create an instance of the provider.

Copied from QgsVectorLayer::setDataProvider TODO: Make it work in the generic environment.

Parameters

providerKey	identificator of the provider
dataSource	string containing data source for the provider

Returns: instance of provider or NULL on error

TODO: Is this class really the best place to put a data provider loader? It seems more sensible to provide the code in one place rather than in qgsrasterlayer, qgsvectorlayer, serversourceselect, etc.

Built once when registry is constructed by appending strings returned from iteratively calling vectorFileFilter() for each visited data provider. The alternative would have been to do this each time fileVectorFilters was invoked; instead we only have to build it the one time.
