RemoteActionGroupT

The gio.remote_action_group.RemoteActionGroup interface is implemented by gio.action_group.ActionGroup instances that either transmit action invocations to other processes or receive action invocations in the local process from other processes.

The interface has _full variants of the two methods on gio.action_group.ActionGroup used to activate actions: gio.action_group.ActionGroup.activateAction and gio.action_group.ActionGroup.changeActionState. These variants allow a ‘platform data’ glib.variant.VariantG to be specified: a dictionary providing context for the action invocation (for example: timestamps, startup notification IDs, etc).

gio.dbus_action_group.DBusActionGroup implements gio.remote_action_group.RemoteActionGroup. This provides a mechanism to send platform data for action invocations over D-Bus.

Additionally, gio.dbus_connection.DBusConnection.exportActionGroup will check if the exported gio.action_group.ActionGroup implements gio.remote_action_group.RemoteActionGroup and use the _full variants of the calls if available. This provides a mechanism by which to receive platform data for action invocations that arrive by way of D-Bus.
