Detailed Description

Widget that allows to navigate through the paths of an URL.

The URL navigator offers two modes:

Editable: The URL of the location is editable inside an editor. By pressing RETURN the URL will get activated.
Non editable ("breadcrumb view"): The URL of the location is represented by a number of buttons, where each button represents a path of the URL. By clicking on a button the path will get activated. This mode also supports drag and drop of items.

The mode can be changed by clicking on the empty area of the URL navigator. It is recommended that the application remembers the setting or allows to configure the default mode (see KUrlNavigator::setUrlEditable()).

The URL navigator remembers the URL history during navigation and allows to go back and forward within this history.

In the non editable mode ("breadcrumb view") it can be configured whether the full path should be shown. It is recommended that the application remembers the setting or allows to configure the default mode (see KUrlNavigator::setShowFullPath()).

The typical usage of the KUrlNavigator is:

Create an instance providing a places model and an URL.
Create an instance of QAbstractItemView which shows the content of the URL given by the URL navigator.
Connect to the signal KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() and synchronize the content of QAbstractItemView with the URL given by the URL navigator.

It is recommended, that the application remembers the state of the QAbstractItemView when the URL has been changed. This allows to restore the view state when going back in history. KUrlNavigator offers support for remembering the view state:

The signal urlAboutToBeChanged() will be emitted before the URL change takes places. This allows the application to store the view state by KUrlNavigator::saveLocationState().
The signal urlChanged() will be emitted after the URL change took place. This allows the application to restore the view state by getting the values from KUrlNavigator::locationState().

bool KUrlNavigator::goBack ( )

Goes back one step in the URL history.

The signals KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged(), KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() and KUrlNavigator::historyChanged() are emitted if true is returned. False is returned if the beginning of the history has already been reached and hence going back was not possible. The history index (see KUrlNavigator::historyIndex()) is increased by one if the operation was successful.

bool KUrlNavigator::goForward ( )

Goes forward one step in the URL history.

The signals KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged(), KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() and KUrlNavigator::historyChanged() are emitted if true is returned. False is returned if the end of the history has already been reached and hence going forward was not possible. The history index (see KUrlNavigator::historyIndex()) is decreased by one if the operation was successful.

Definition at line 865 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::goHome ( )

Goes to the home URL and remembers the old URL in the history.

The signals KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged(), KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() and KUrlNavigator::historyChanged() are emitted.

See also:: KUrlNavigator::setHomeUrl()

Definition at line 894 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

bool KUrlNavigator::goUp ( )

Goes up one step of the URL path and remembers the old path in the history.

The signals KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged(), KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() and KUrlNavigator::historyChanged() are emitted if true is returned. False is returned if going up was not possible as the root has been reached.

Definition at line 882 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::historyChanged ( ) [signal]

Is emitted, if the history has been changed.

Usually the history is changed if a new URL has been selected.

int KUrlNavigator::historyIndex ( ) const

Returns:: The history index of the current location, where 0 <= history index < KUrlNavigator::historySize(). 0 is the most recent history entry.

Definition at line 1184 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

int KUrlNavigator::historySize ( ) const

Returns:: True, if the URL navigator is in the active mode.

See also:: KUrlNavigator::setActive()

Definition at line 956 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

bool KUrlNavigator::isPlacesSelectorVisible ( ) const

Returns:: True, if the places selector is visible.

Definition at line 977 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

bool KUrlNavigator::isUrlEditable ( ) const

Returns:: True, if the URL is editable within a line editor. If false is returned, each part of the URL is presented by a button for fast navigation ("breadcrumb view").

Definition at line 920 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

QByteArray KUrlNavigator::locationState ( int historyIndex = -1 ) const

Returns:: Location state given by historyIndex. If historyIndex is smaller than 0, the state of the current location is returned.

See also:: KUrlNavigator::saveLocationState()

Since:: 4.5

Definition at line 841 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

KUrl KUrlNavigator::locationUrl ( int historyIndex = -1 ) const

Returns:: URL of the location given by the historyIndex. If historyIndex is smaller than 0, the URL of the current location is returned.

Since:: 4.5

Definition at line 830 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::requestActivation ( ) [slot]

Activates the URL navigator (KUrlNavigator::isActive() will return true) and emits the signal KUrlNavigator::activated().

See also:: KUrlNavigator::setActive()

Definition at line 1070 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::returnPressed ( ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the Return or Enter key is pressed.

void KUrlNavigator::saveLocationState ( const QByteArray & state )

Saves the location state described by state for the current location.

It is recommended that at least the scroll position of a view is remembered and restored when traversing through the history. Saving the location state should be done when the signal KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged() has been emitted. Restoring the location state (see KUrlNavigator::locationState()) should be done when the signal KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() has been emitted.

Example:

 QByteArray state;
 QDataStream data(&state, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
 data << QPoint(x, y);
 data << ...;
 ...
 urlNavigator->saveLocationState(state);

Since:: 4.5

Definition at line 836 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setActive ( bool active )

Set the URL navigator to the active mode, if active is true.

The active mode is default. The inactive mode only differs visually from the active mode, no change of the behavior is given.

Using the URL navigator in the inactive mode is useful when having split views, where the inactive view is indicated by an inactive URL navigator visually.

Definition at line 939 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setCustomProtocols ( const QStringList & protocols )

If an application supports only some special protocols, they can be set with protocols .

Definition at line 1194 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setHomeUrl ( const KUrl & url )

Sets the home URL used by KUrlNavigator::goHome().

If no home URL is set, the default home path of the user is used.

Since:: 4.5

Definition at line 903 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setLocationUrl ( const KUrl & url ) [slot]

Sets the location to url.

The old URL is added to the history. The signals KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged(), KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() and KUrlNavigator::historyChanged() are emitted. Use KUrlNavigator::locationUrl() to read the location.

Since:: 4.5

Definition at line 994 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setPlacesSelectorVisible ( bool visible )

Sets the places selector visible, if visible is true.

The places selector allows to select the places provided by the places model passed in the constructor. Per default the places selector is visible.

Definition at line 961 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setShowFullPath ( bool show )

Shows the full path of the URL even if a place represents a part of the URL.

Assuming that a place called "Pictures" uses the URL /home/user/Pictures. An URL like /home/user/Pictures/2008 is shown as [Pictures] > [2008] in the breadcrumb view, if showing the full path is turned off. If showing the full path is turned on, the URL is shown as [/] > [home] > [Pictures] > [2008].

Since:: 4.2

Definition at line 925 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::setUrlEditable ( bool editable )

Allows to edit the URL of the navigation bar if editable is true, and sets the focus accordingly.

If editable is false, each part of the URL is presented by a button for a fast navigation ("breadcrumb view").

Definition at line 913 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

bool KUrlNavigator::showFullPath ( ) const

Returns:: True, if the full path of the URL should be shown in the breadcrumb view.

Since:: 4.2

Definition at line 933 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::tabRequested ( const KUrl & url ) [signal]

Is emitted if the URL url should be opened in a new tab because the user clicked on a breadcrumb with the middle mouse button.

Since:: 4.5

KUrl KUrlNavigator::uncommittedUrl ( ) const

Returns:: The currently entered, but not accepted URL. It is possible that the returned URL is not valid.

Definition at line 982 of file kurlnavigator.cpp.

void KUrlNavigator::urlAboutToBeChanged ( const KUrl & newUrl ) [signal]

Is emitted, before the location URL is going to be changed to newUrl.

The signal KUrlNavigator::urlChanged() will be emitted after the change has been done. Connecting to this signal is useful to save the state of a view with KUrlNavigator::saveLocationState().

Since:: 4.5

void KUrlNavigator::urlChanged ( const KUrl & url ) [signal]

Is emitted, if the location URL has been changed e.

g. by the user.

See also:: KUrlNavigator::setUrl()

void KUrlNavigator::urlsDropped	(	const KUrl &	destination,
		QDropEvent *	event
	)		`[signal]`
