Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: AppInfoMonitor
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get() -> ~gi.repository.Gio.AppInfoMonitor

      Gets the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gio.AppInfoMonitor` for the current thread-default main
      context.

      The :obj:`~gi.repository.Gio.AppInfoMonitor` will emit a "changed" signal in the
      thread-default main context whenever the list of installed
      applications (as reported by :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.AppInfo.get_all`) may have changed.

      The :obj:`~gi.repository.Gio.AppInfoMonitor`::changed signal will only be emitted once until
      :func:`~gi.repository.Gio.AppInfo.get_all` (or another ```g_app_info_``*()` function) is called. Doing
      so will re-arm the signal ready to notify about the next change.

      You must only call :func:`~gi.repository.GObject.GObject.Object.unref` on the return value from under
      the same main context as you created it.
