The URL dispatcher case is that it gets a URL that looks like this: scope://com.foo_bar
I want to know whether to return an error on that URL because it is a scope that doesn't exist, or to pass it onto the dash. So it is really just testing that string to see if it is something that the dash will understand. What I want is to be able to ask the "Scope system" whether it considers the ID valid. If that involves connecting to service or checking a file is really an implementation detail. I just want to know if that ID (or one with the version in it) are considered valid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-api in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1465675 Title: API needed to determine if App ID is a scope Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There are a few cases where we'd like it if a higher level service could determine if a particular AppID is connected to a scope. This mostly deals with requests that relate to trusted session prompts as they need to be overlayed on top of the dash instead of the calling process. Another is so that URL dispatcher can return better errors on the scope:// URL namespace. I don't think that it needs to be complex, roughly something like this: bool isScope (const char * appid); To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scopes-api/+bug/1465675/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
