ContentDeserializer
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gdk





.. class:: ContentDeserializer(**properties: ~typing.Any)
   :no-contents-entry:


Superclasses: :class:`~gi.repository.GObject.Object`



Implemented Interfaces: :class:`~gi.repository.Gio.AsyncResult`



A ``GdkContentDeserializer`` is used to deserialize content received via
inter-application data transfers.

The ``GdkContentDeserializer`` transforms serialized content that is
identified by a mime type into an object identified by a GType.

GTK provides serializers and deserializers for common data types
such as text, colors, images or file lists. To register your own
deserialization functions, use :obj:`~gi.repository.Gdk.content_register_deserializer`\.

Also see :obj:`~gi.repository.Gdk.ContentSerializer`\.




Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: ContentDeserializer
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_cancellable() -> ~gi.repository.Gio.Cancellable | None

      Gets the cancellable for the current operation.

      This is the ``GCancellable`` that was passed to :obj:`~gi.repository.Gdk.content_deserialize_async`\.









   .. method:: get_gtype() -> ~gobject.GType

      Gets the ``GType`` to create an instance of.









   .. method:: get_input_stream() -> ~gi.repository.Gio.InputStream

      Gets the input stream for the current operation.

      This is the stream that was passed to :obj:`~gi.repository.Gdk.content_deserialize_async`\.









   .. method:: get_mime_type() -> str

      Gets the mime type to deserialize from.









   .. method:: get_priority() -> int

      Gets the I/O priority for the current operation.

      This is the priority that was passed to :obj:`~gi.repository.Gdk.content_deserialize_async`\.









   .. method:: get_task_data() -> ~typing.Any | None

      Gets the data that was associated with the current operation.

      See :obj:`~gi.repository.Gdk.ContentDeserializer.set_task_data`\.









   .. method:: get_user_data() -> ~typing.Any | None

      Gets the user data that was passed when the deserializer was registered.









   .. method:: get_value() -> ~gi.repository.GObject.Value

      Gets the ``GValue`` to store the deserialized object in.









   .. method:: return_error(error: ~gi.repository.GLib.GError) -> None

      Indicate that the deserialization has ended with an error.

      This function consumes ``error``\.






      :param error: a ``GError``




   .. method:: return_success() -> None

      Indicate that the deserialization has been successfully completed.









   .. method:: set_task_data(data: ~typing.Any, notify: ~typing.Callable[[~typing.Any], None]) -> None

      Associate data with the current deserialization operation.






      :param data: data to associate with this operation

      :param notify: destroy notify for ``data``
