AppInfoMonitor.get

Gets the #GAppInfoMonitor for the current thread-default main context.

The #GAppInfoMonitor will emit a "changed" signal in the thread-default main context whenever the list of installed applications (as reported by [gio.app_info.AppInfo.getAll]) may have changed.

The #GAppInfoMonitor::changed signal will only be emitted once until [gio.app_info.AppInfo.getAll] (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 [gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref] on the return value from under the same main context as you created it.

Returns

a reference to a #GAppInfoMonitor
