One time plugin Published : 26 Sep 2018
  • If you want to build a one time plugin that deactivates the plugin when something is done, you can use setOneTimePlugin(true); method on plugin’s constructor as like below 
    public Plugin() throws Exception {
    super("whatever you want");
      
    setOneTimePlugin(true);
}

    once this is happens, the plugin will have deactivate state as default state. and if user clicks the toggle button to activates the plugin then pluginActivated() method will be raised. you can just coding something within the pluginActivated() method.

    don’t forget the requestDeactivate(); method. this method will makes your plugin to back to deactivate state.

  • Here is an example source code 
    import org.silentsoft.actlist.plugin.ActlistPlugin;
  
public class Plugin extends ActlistPlugin {
  
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        debug();
    }
  
    public Plugin() throws Exception {
        super("whatever you want");
          
        setOneTimePlugin(true);
    }
  
    @Override
    protected void initialize() throws Exception { }
  
    @Override
    public void pluginActivated() throws Exception {
        try {
            /*
             * do something here
             */
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // exception handling
        } finally {
            requestDeactivate();
        }
    }
  
    @Override
    public void pluginDeactivated() throws Exception { }
  
}
