Gio.RemoteActionGroup
Description: Reference for Gio.RemoteActionGroup

### Interface

# GioRemoteActionGroup

since: 2.32

#### Description [src]

    interface Gio.RemoteActionGroup : Gio.ActionGroup

The `GRemoteActionGroup` interface is implemented by `GActionGroup` instances that either transmit action invocations to other processes or receive action invocations in the local process from other processes.

The interface has `_full` variants of the two methods on `GActionGroup` used to activate actions: `g_action_group_activate_action()` and `g_action_group_change_action_state()`. These variants allow a ‘platform data’ `GVariant` to be specified: a dictionary providing context for the action invocation (for example: timestamps, startup notification IDs, etc).

`GDBusActionGroup` implements `GRemoteActionGroup`. This provides a mechanism to send platform data for action invocations over D-Bus.

Additionally, `g_dbus_connection_export_action_group()` will check if the exported `GActionGroup` implements `GRemoteActionGroup` and use the `_full` variants of the calls if available. This provides a mechanism by which to receive platform data for action invocations that arrive by way of D-Bus.
