$gtype: GType<Gio.AppInfo>
prototype: Gio.AppInfo

  • Gets the default application for handling URIs with the given URI scheme.

    A URI scheme is the initial part of the URI, up to but not including the :. For example, http, ftp or sip.

    Parameters

    • uri_scheme: string

      a string containing a URI scheme.

    Returns Gio.AppInfo

  • Gets a list of fallback Gio.AppInfos for a given content type, i.e. those applications which claim to support the given content type by MIME type subclassing and not directly.

    Parameters

    • content_type: string

      the content type to find a Gio.AppInfo for

    Returns Gio.AppInfo[]

  • Gets a list of recommended Gio.AppInfos for a given content type, i.e. those applications which claim to support the given content type exactly, and not by MIME type subclassing.

    Note that the first application of the list is the last used one, i.e. the last one for which Gio.AppInfo.set_as_last_used_for_type has been called.

    Parameters

    • content_type: string

      the content type to find a Gio.AppInfo for

    Returns Gio.AppInfo[]

  • Utility function that launches the default application registered to handle the specified uri. Synchronous I/O is done on the uri to detect the type of the file if required.

    The D-Bus–activated applications don’t have to be started if your application terminates too soon after this function. To prevent this, use Gio.AppInfo.launch_default_for_uri_async instead.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean
