[GSoC 2016] Week 9 Report

Week 9 (July 23 - July 30):

- Replaced std::string's with QString's for parameters

Initially std:string was used, as the parameters are in QString it makes sense to use QString.

- Implemented createRingAccount() and value()
These functions are the first attempt to create a ring account in case parameters are properly entered by user.

// TODO find a better way to display parameters entering information to user.

- Implemented update Parameters() and setRingID viaAccountID()

If the accountID is known the RingID can be easily retrieved and updateParameter function updates that stored account data for quick reuse later.

- Icon for Gnome based client Empathy
As I am using Empathy, this was the only one I could test with. When icons used are different than hicolor this may not work.

- Implemented setAccountIDviaRingID() and improvemens in value() and updateParameters()
The function setAccountIDviaRingID() will find the accountID using user entered ringID if exists and then update the value.

- Execute gtk-update-icon-cache
Requirement to make the icon visible in client instantly.

- Implemented changes in Protocol::createConnection() to use functions Parameters class

After completing the above functions, createConnection calls them as required.

- Removed use of RingDaemon class and reorganized functions(added setRingIDandAccountID)
Parameters class did not necesarrily need Ring Daemon class.

- Implemented connect and disconnect

Attempting to implement connect and disconnect from client.
