Type Conventions

This document uses the following conventions for types:

Array<T> or Array.<T>
An Array filled with only objects of type T. This convention is similar to Java generics.
Map<K, V> or Map.<K, V>
A JavaScript object with keys of type K that map to values of type V. Again, this convention is similar to Java generics. It's often used for opt_params variables.
static
A type marked with static class has no public or private constructor. In other words, the type is a namespace, not a class that can be instantiated to create objects. The fields and functions in such a type are also marked as static.
Boolean
A boolean value (not a Boolean object).
String
A string value (not a String object).

requestCreateActivity

<static> requestCreateActivity(activity, priority, opt_callback)
    Takes an activity and tries to create it, without waiting for the operation to complete. Optionally calls a function when the operation completes.

    See also: newActivity()

    Note: If this is the first activity that has been created for the user and the request is marked as HIGH priority then this call may open a user flow and navigate away from your gadget.

    This callback will either be called or the gadget will be reloaded from scratch. This function will be passed one parameter, an opensocial.ResponseItem. The error code will be set to reflect whether there were any problems with the request. If there was no error, the activity was created. If there was an error, you can use the response item's getErrorCode method to determine how to proceed. The data on the response item will not be set.

    If the container does not support this method the callback will be called with a opensocial.ResponseItem. The response item will have its error code set to NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

    Parameters:
      opensocial.Activity activity - The activity to create
      opensocial.CreateActivityPriority priority - The priority for this request
      Function opt_callback - The function to call once the request has been processed.

requestPermission

<static> requestPermission(permissions, reason, opt_callback)
    Requests the user to grant access to the specified permissions. If the container does not support this method the callback will be called with a opensocial.ResponseItem. The response item will have its error code set to NOT_IMPLEMENTED.
    Parameters:
      Array.<opensocial.Permission> permissions - The permissions to request from the viewer
      String reason - Displayed to the user as the reason why these permissions are needed
      Function opt_callback - The function to call once the request has been processed; either this callback will be called or the gadget will be reloaded from scratch. This function will be passed one parameter, an opensocial.ResponseItem. The error code will be set to reflect whether there were any problems with the request. If there was no error, all permissions were granted. If there was an error, you can use opensocial.hasPermission to check which permissions are still denied. The data on the response item will be set. It will be an array of the opensocial.Permissions that were granted.

requestSendMessage

<static> requestSendMessage(recipients, message, opt_callback, opt_params)
    Requests the container to send a specific message to the specified users.

    The callback function is passed one parameter, an opensocial.ResponseItem. The error code will be set to reflect whether there were any problems with the request. If there was no error, the message was sent. If there was an error, you can use the response item's getErrorCode method to determine how to proceed. The data on the response item will not be set.

    If the container does not support this method the callback will be called with an opensocial.ResponseItem that has an error code of NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

    Parameters:
      Array.<String>, String recipients - An ID, array of IDs, or a group reference; the supported keys are VIEWER, OWNER, VIEWER_FRIENDS, OWNER_FRIENDS, or a single ID within one of those groups

    The callback function is passed one parameter, an opensocial.ResponseItem. The error code will be set to reflect whether there were any problems with the request. If there was no error, the sharing request was sent. If there was an error, you can use the response item's getErrorCode method to determine how to proceed. The data on the response item will not be set.

    If the container does not support this method the callback will be called with a opensocial.ResponseItem. The response item will have its error code set to NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

    Parameters:

Class opensocial.Activity

 SUMMARY     DETAIL

Representation of an activity.

Activities are rendered with a title and an optional activity body.

You may set the title and body directly as strings when calling opensocial.newActivity. However, it is usually beneficial to create activities using Message Templates for the title and body.

Users will have many activities in their activity streams, and containers will not show every activity that is visible to a user. To help display large numbers of activities, containers will summarize a list of activities from a given source to a single entry.

You can provide Activity Summaries to customize the text shown when multiple activities are summarized. If no customization is provided, a container may ignore your activities altogether or provide default text such as "Bob changed his status message + 20 other events like this."

  • Activity Summaries will always summarize around a specific key in a key/value pair. This is so that the summary can say something concrete (this is clearer in the example below).
  • Other variables will have synthetic "Count" variables created with the total number of items summarized.
  • Message ID of the summary is the message ID of the main template + ":" + the data key

Example summaries: 

<messagebundle>
  <msg name="LISTEN_TO_THIS_SONG:Artist">
    ${Subject.Count} of your friends have suggested listening to songs
    by ${Artist}!
  </msg>
  <msg name="LISTEN_TO_THIS_SONG:Song">
    ${Subject.Count} of your friends have suggested listening to ${Song}
  !</msg>
  <msg name="LISTEN_TO_THIS_SONG:Subject">
   ${Subject.DisplayName} has recommended ${Song.Count} songs to you.
  </msg>
</messagebundle>

Class opensocial.Enum

 SUMMARY     DETAIL

Base interface for all enum objects. This class allows containers to use constants for fields that are usually have a common set of values. There are two main ways to use this class.

If your gadget just wants to display how much of a smoker someone is, it can simply use: 

html = "This person smokes: " + person.getField('smoker').getValue();

This value field will be correctly set up by the container. This is a place where the container can even localize the value for the gadget so that it always shows the right thing.

If your gadget wants to have some logic around the smoker field it can use: 

if (person.getField('smoker').getKey() != "NO") { //gadget logic here }

Note: The key may be null if the person's smoker field cannot be coerced into one of the standard enum types. The value, on the other hand, is never null.

Method Summary

 String getDisplayValue()
The value of this enum.
 String getKey()
Use this for logic within your gadget.
 

Method Detail

getDisplayValue

String getDisplayValue()
    The value of this enum. This will be a user displayable string. If the container supports localization, the string will be localized.
    Returns:
      String  The enum's value.

getKey

String getKey()
    Use this for logic within your gadget. If they key is null then the value does not fit in the defined enums.
    Returns:
      String  The enum's key. This should be one of the defined enums below.
