openerp - How to know the last attendance action of the current user ('sign_in' or 'sign_out') in odoo 9? -

i have extended hr_attendance module , want last value of 'action' of current logged user (it can 'sign_in' or 'sign_out')

i don't know how access value.

in attendance module there these functions:

def _altern_si_so(self, cr, uid, ids, context=none): ...  def _state(self, cr, uid, ids, name, args, context=none) ... 

but don't know how call functions inside extended module or if there way value.

looking database tables found solution:

first obtain employee_id associated logged user

employee_id = {} cr.execute('select hr.id \             resource_resource res join hr_employee hr \             on res.id = hr.resource_id \             res.user_id = %s',[uid]) res in cr.fetchall():     employee_id = res[0] 

then, last action of employee_id

last_action = {} cr.execute('select hr_attendance.action \             hr_attendance \             employee_id = %s',[employee_id]) res in cr.fetchall():     last_action = res[0] 

'last_action' has "sign_in" or "sign_out" (the last action done current user in attendance module)
