→‎.info File Format: Describe a good mechanism for chosing bundle ids.
Line 84: Line 84:     
  bundle_id = com.redhat.Sugar.BrowserActivity
 
  bundle_id = com.redhat.Sugar.BrowserActivity
: This is the activity bundle identifier.  It is required. The name should conform to the [http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names D-Bus spec] - in particular, hyphens are not allowed (although this wasn't enforced in earlier builds, see [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6226 Trac 6226]). In the Python bindings, it is also used as the activity's default service type when the activity is shared on the network.  To determine this type, the distinct parts (separated by the '.' character) are reversed, any '.' is replaced by a '_' character, and the type is prefixed by a '_' character.  So in this example, the default service type would be "_BrowserActivity_Sugar_redhat_com".
