protected KGlobal(Class dummy)

KGlobal

public KGlobal()

Method Detail

activeInstance

public static KInstanceInterface activeInstance()

charsets

public static KCharsets charsets()

The global charset manager.

Returns: the global charset manager

UNKNOWN: The global charset manager.

config

public static KConfig config()

Returns the general config object.

Returns: the global configuration object.

UNKNOWN: Returns the general config object.

deleteStaticDeleters

public static void deleteStaticDeleters()

Calls KStaticDeleterBase.destructObject() on all registered static deleters and unregisters them all.

See Also: KStaticDeleterBase KStaticDeleter

UNKNOWN: Calls KStaticDeleterBase.destructObject() on all registered static deleters and unregisters them all.

dirs

public static KStandardDirs dirs()

Returns the application standard dirs object.

Returns: the global standard dir object

UNKNOWN: Returns the application standard dirs object.

dispose

public void dispose()

Delete the wrapped C++ instance ahead of finalize()

finalize

protected void finalize()

Deletes the wrapped C++ instance

iconLoader

public static KIconLoader iconLoader()

Returns an iconloader object.

Returns: the global iconloader object

UNKNOWN: Returns an iconloader object.

instance

public static KInstanceInterface instance()

Returns the global instance. There is always at least one instance of a component in one application (in most cases the application itself).

Returns: the global instance

UNKNOWN: Returns the global instance.

isDisposed

public boolean isDisposed()

Has the wrapped C++ instance been deleted?

locale

public static KLocale locale()

Returns the global locale object.

Returns: the global locale object

UNKNOWN: Returns the global locale object.

registerStaticDeleter

public static void registerStaticDeleter(KStaticDeleterBase d)

Registers a static deleter.

Parameters: d the static deleter to register

See Also: KStaticDeleterBase KStaticDeleter

UNKNOWN: Registers a static deleter.

setActiveInstance

public static void setActiveInstance(KInstanceInterface d)

The instance currently active (useful in a multi-instance application, such as a KParts application). Don't use this - it's mainly for KAboutDialog and KBugReport.

UNKNOWN: The instance currently active (useful in a multi-instance application, such as a KParts application).

sharedConfig

public static KSharedConfig sharedConfig()

Returns the general config object.

Returns: the global configuration object.

UNKNOWN: Returns the general config object.

staticQString

public static String staticQString(String str)

Creates a static String. To be used inside functions(!) like:

		 static StringmyString = KGlobal.staticString("myText");

!!! Do _NOT_ use: !!!

		 static String myString = KGlobal.staticString("myText");

This creates a static object (instead of a static reference) and as you know static objects are EVIL.

Parameters: str the string to create

Returns: the static string

UNKNOWN: Creates a static String.

unregisterStaticDeleter

public static void unregisterStaticDeleter(KStaticDeleterBase d)

Unregisters a static deleter.

Parameters: d the static deleter to unregister

See Also: KStaticDeleterBase KStaticDeleter

UNKNOWN: Unregisters a static deleter.
