Re: [Cytoscape-discuss] hook up into actions

[Jason Montojo]

Hi Ning,

We currently don't support this in our API.  It's something we could add in the future as a new feature, though.

Thanks,

Jason

Dear All,

I want to record some of the actions user performed in my plugin. For example, we want to record the "SelectFirstNeighbors" action. I'm wondering if there is a way I can hook into the actions from a plugin?

Thanks!

Actually, I think TunableRecorder could do this.  Even if your task doesn't have tunables, you could use a recorder to note that a particular task has executed.

It's possible to use TunableRecorder but that won't be very robust.  That class gets notified of Tasks that get executed, but it's not always possible to trace that task to a particular action/Task Factory because a task can be used by multiple factories.  Since our Task implementations are hidden by OSGi, all you can do is use reflection to figure out what Task you're dealing with.
