Extended Call History Search
	2007-05-24 18:39:45
Hey guys ! I made a plugin which permits to do a search on the call List with more options. Have a look below if you want some details. I. Presentation of the plug-in The goal of this plugin is to add an extended call history search option to the call history panel. This extended search permits to search by dates(since & until), by participant name and by call direction (incoming / outcoming). You can see the details here : "http://www.sip-communicator.org/index.ph p/Development/CallHistory". So i'm now going to explain a bit more the plugin II. Implementation I use 2 services. The GUI service and the callHistory service to get the informations on the calls made by the user. I use the call history service to get the callRecord only (it contains the call informations). In the part III, i explain that it might be great to take more use of the callHistory service. I also use a datepicker. After having done searches on the internet, I have chosen JCalendar (found it here : "http://www .toedter.com/en/jcalendar/"). It's easy to use and it looks great (you only need to write a single line "JDateChooser varName= new JDateChooser();"). Explanation of the classes : ExtendedCallHistorySearchPanel : This is our main class plugin in which we configure the search panel and do search operations. The other classes are not really interresting. I used and modified the classes made by Yana for the callList in order to adapt them to our plugin. So they work as the CallList already implemented in SC. III. Things to improve. I think that one major thing could be improved. I implemented our own search methods. I mean that there are methods "not implemented yet" in the call history service as "public Collection findByPeriod(MetaContact contact, Date startDate, Date endDate)". It might be a good thing to implement and use it in the plugin. I think that there are two more things that can be added. The first one is a progress search bar on the extended call search panel. The second one is to add the auto-completion on the contact name text field. IV. How to use it? Look at the file TODO.txt in the archive. Finally , if you have any advices on our code implementation, tell us. We need to improve our java skills.

Hi guys, thanks for the contribution ! I have tested your plug-in and it works good. I have already committed you code on the cvs and just wanted to let you know the changes I've made in order to make your code fit better to Java and SIP Communicator conventions. Here are the modifications: - Added the ExtendedCallHistorySearchMenuItem to the CONTAINER_TOOLS_MENU - It wasn't fitting very well in the Call list panel and after a discussion with Emil I decided to move it in the Tools menu. - Added a mnemonic key for the above menu item - To do this without any damage to the internationalization I had to change the Resources file, by adding a getMnemonic method and changing the existing getString method. - Renamed the ExtendedCallHistorySearchPanel to ExtendedCallHistorySearchDialog, as it extends JDialog and not JPanel. - In the ExtendedCallHistorySearchDialog.actionPefrormed method I have invoked the history search in a separate thread - The search operation could be very slow if we have many records in history, so it's not a good idea to block the gui, while waiting for the search to complete. - In the ExtendedCallHistorySearchDialog removed the participantName method - it is replaced by matches(regular expression) method in class String. - Refresh call history records each time when the extended call history window is shown - when a new call is made the list of records doesn't refresh, even if you close the window and reopen it, so I made a little enhancement, I refresh the list each time user opens the window. In the future we should refresh the list, each time a call is received or emitted. - Renamed the callType method to checkCallType - the method name need to indicate the action performed in this method. - have made the search button non expandable - the search button was getting all the place on the right when we resize the window and it wasn't very nice, so I made it non expandable - Added some javadoc comments where needed and replaced all simple comments for classes and methods by javadoc comments. I think that's all. Keep up the good work. Yana On 5/25/07, max.bourdonlaposte.net">max.bourdonlaposte.net < max.bourdonlaposte.net">max.bourdonlaposte.net > wrote: Hey guys !
