Method

XdpPortaldynamic_launcher_install

Declaration [src]

gboolean
xdp_portal_dynamic_launcher_install (
  XdpPortal* portal,
  const char* token,
  const char* desktop_file_id,
  const char* desktop_entry,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

This function completes installation of a launcher so that the icon and name given in previous method calls will show up in the desktop environment’s menu.

The desktop_file_id must be prefixed with the caller’s app ID followed by a “.” and suffixed with “.desktop”.

The desktop_entry data need not include Icon= or Name= entries since these will be added by the portal, and the Exec= entry will be rewritten to call the application with e.g. “flatpak run” depending on the sandbox status of the app.

Parameters

token

Type: const char*

A token acquired via a xdp_portal_dynamic_launcher_request_install_token() or xdp_portal_dynamic_launcher_prepare_install() call.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
desktop_file_id

Type: const char*

The .desktop file name to be used.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
desktop_entry

Type: const char*

The key-file to be used for the contents of the .desktop file.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

TRUE if the installation was successful, FALSE with error set otherwise.
