[SailfishDevel] Sending SMS Messages from Sailfish Alpha 2 from QML

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi John

Yesterday I fought the good fight on several fronts 8.)

1) I had a stab at migrating your QmlMessages project to Qt5 /  
Sailfish Alpha 2. I did all the obvious stuff according to the porting  
guides, but then got to a stage where I had a screenful of errors from  
qqml.h, qquickitem.h and qjvalue.h. These are probably follow on  
errors from incorrectly migrated QmlMessage code, but I could not spot  
it. Unfortunately for me, reading C++ is a bit like reading a menu in  
Greek. I can spot some dishes like feta, chicken, lamb, maybe make out  
individual characters that I recognise, but the rest is just Greek to  
me! So I have put this on hold for the moment.

I have incorporated you changes to my local copy, thank!

QtCreator objects to Telepathy imports like this (File or directory  
not found):

#include <TelepathyQt/PendingChannelRequest>

But the autocomplete finds Telepathy imports as follows:

#include <telepathy-qt5/TelepathyQt/PendingChannelRequest>

However both formats compile quite happily.


3) SMSTelepathyDemo
This is my throwaway QML project, importing nemo-qml-plugin-messages.  
When I send an SMS I get this output:

void ConversationChannel::sendMessage(const MessagePartList&)  
Buffering message until channel is ready
tp-qt 0.9.3 WARN: (Too old?) Channel Dispatcher failed to tell us  
whether it supports request hints, assuming it doesn't:  
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : "The name  
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ChannelDispatcher was not provided by any  
.service files"
tp-qt 0.9.3 WARN: GetAll(Account) failed:  
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown": "The name  
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager was not provided by any  
.service files"
No account for "/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/account0"

I have to confess, my understanding of the DBus architecture is very  
vague. I will spend some time boning up on  
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/IntroductionToDBus/
Hopefully this will give me more insight.

cheers
