## Description

GDataContactsContact is a subclass of GDataEntry to represent a contact from a Google address book.

For more details of Google Contacts' GData API, see the online documentation.

In addition to all the standard properties available for a contact, GDataContactsContact supports two kinds of additional property: extended properties and user-defined fields. Extended properties, set with `gdata_contacts_contact_set_extended_property()` and retrieved with `gdata_contacts_contact_get_extended_property()`, are provided as a method of storing client-specific data which shouldn't be seen or be editable by the user, such as IDs and cache times. User-defined fields, set with `gdata_contacts_contact_set_user_defined_field()` and retrieved with `gdata_contacts_contact_get_user_defined_field()`, store fields defined by the user, and editable by them in the interface (both the interface of the appliation using libgdata, and the Google Contacts web interface).

    gdata_contacts_contact_add_group (GDataContactsContact *self,
                                      const gchar *href);

### gdata_contacts_contact_is_group_deleted ()

    gboolean
    gdata_contacts_contact_is_group_deleted

                                    const gchar *href);

Returns whether the contact has recently been removed from the given group on the server. This will always return `FALSE` unless “show-deleted” has been set to `TRUE` for the query which returned the contact.

If you've just removed a contact from a group locally using `gdata_contacts_contact_remove_group()`, `FALSE` will still be returned by this function, as the change hasn't been sent to the server.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |
href | the group's ID URI |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the contact has recently been removed from the group, `FALSE` otherwise

Since: 0.2.0

### gdata_contacts_contact_set_extended_property ()

    gboolean

                                    const gchar *value);

Sets the value of a contact's extended property. Extended property names are unique (but of the client's choosing), and reusing the same property name will result in the old value of that property being overwritten.

To unset a property, set `value` to `NULL` or an empty string.

A contact may have up to 10 extended properties, and each should be reasonably small (i.e. not a photo or ringtone). For more information, see the online documentation. `FALSE` will be returned if you attempt to add more than 10 extended properties.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |
name | the property name; an arbitrary, unique string |
value | the property value, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

`TRUE` if the property was updated or deleted successfully, `FALSE` otherwise

                                    const gchar *name);

Gets the value of a user-defined field of the contact. User-defined fields are settable by the user through the Google Contacts web interface, in contrast to extended properties, which are visible and settable only through the GData interface.

The `name` of the field may not be `NULL`, but may be an empty string.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |
name | the field name; an arbitrary, case-sensitive, unique string |

                                    const gchar *value);

Sets the value of a contact's user-defined field. User-defined field names are unique (but of the client's choosing), and reusing the same field name will result in the old value of that field being overwritten.

The `name` of the field may not be `NULL`, but may be an empty string.

To unset a field, set `value` to `NULL`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |
name | the field name; an arbitrary, case-sensitive, unique string |
value | the field value, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

Since: 0.7.0

### gdata_contacts_contact_get_edited ()

    gint64
    gdata_contacts_contact_get_edited (GDataContactsContact *self);

Gets the “edited” property. If the property is unset, `-1` will be returned.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |

#### Returns

the UNIX timestamp for the time the contact was last edited, or `-1`

Since: 0.2.0

### gdata_contacts_contact_is_deleted ()

    gboolean
    gdata_contacts_contact_is_deleted (GDataContactsContact *self);

Returns whether the contact has recently been deleted. This will always return `FALSE` unless “show-deleted” has been set to `TRUE` for the query which returned the contact; then this function will return `TRUE` only if the contact has been deleted.

If a contact has been deleted, no other information is available about it. This is designed to allow contacts to be deleted from local address books using incremental updates from the server (e.g. with “updated-min” and “show-deleted”).

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the contact has been deleted, `FALSE` otherwise

Since: 0.2.0

### gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_etag ()

    const gchar *
    gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_etag (GDataContactsContact *self);

Returns the ETag for the contact's attached photo, if it exists. If it does exist, the contact's photo can be retrieved using `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo()`. If it doesn't exist, `NULL` will be returned, and the contact doesn't have a photo (so calling `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo()` will also return `NULL`)

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |

#### Returns

the contact's photo's ETag if it exists, `NULL` otherwise

Since: 0.9.0

### gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo ()

    guint8 *
    gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo (GDataContactsContact *self,
                                      GDataContactsService *service,

                                      GError **error);

Downloads and returns the contact's photo, if they have one. If the contact doesn't have a photo (i.e. `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_etag()` returns `NULL`), `NULL` is returned, but no error is set in `error` .

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the `cancellable` object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned.

If there is an error getting the photo, a `GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR` error will be returned.

### gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_async ()

    void
    gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_async
                                   (GDataContactsContact *self,

                                    gpointer user_data);

Downloads and returns the contact's photo, if they have one, asynchronously. `self` and `service` are both reffed when this function is called, so can safely be unreffed after this function returns.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_finish()` to get the results of the operation.

For more details, see `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo()`, which is the synchronous version of this function.

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the `cancellable` object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned by `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_finish()`.

If there is an error getting the photo, a `GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR` error will be returned by `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_finish()`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |
service | a GDataContactsService |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
callback | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the photo has been retrieved, or `NULL` |
user_data | data to pass to the `callback` function. | [closure]

Finishes an asynchronous contact photo retrieval operation started with `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_async()`. If the contact doesn't have a photo (i.e. `gdata_contacts_contact_get_photo_etag()` returns `NULL`), `NULL` is returned, but no error is set in `error` .

If there is an error getting the photo, a `GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR` error will be returned. `length` will be set to

`0` and `content_type` will be set to `NULL`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataContactsContact |
async_result | a GAsyncResult |
length | return location for the image length, in bytes. | [out caller-allocates]
content_type | return location for the image's content type, or `NULL`; free with `g_free()`. | [out callee-allocates][transfer full][allow-none]
