[SailfishDevel] Sending SMS via Telepathy: Error "Channel Dispatcher .. does not support interface CD.I.Messages"

Hi All

I now have a working work-around: My app can (finally) send SMSes via 
Telepathy again.

Previously I was using ContactMessenger object. Now I have found a 
vector using the ConversationChannel object. It took a lot of hacking 
around due to my weak understanding of c++, but in the end I hit on a 
solution that required minimal change to both my code, and to 
ConversationChannel.

I grabbed the code below:
https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-messages/blob/master/src/conversationchannel.h
https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-messages/blob/master/src/conversationchannel.cpp
then pimped it slightly so it that on a successful sendMessage, it emits 
the signal "finished"

Previously, using ContactMessenger my code was

void TelepathyHelper::sendSMS(const QString &contactIdentifier, const 
QString &message)
{
    Tp::AccountPtr acc = 
Tp::Account::create(TP_QT_ACCOUNT_MANAGER_BUS_NAME, 
QLatin1String("/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/account0"));
    messenger = Tp::ContactMessenger::create(acc, contactIdentifier);
    connect(messenger->sendMessage(message),
             SIGNAL(finished(Tp::PendingOperation*)),
             SLOT(onSendMessageFinished(Tp::PendingOperation*)));
}

Now (temporarily) using ConversationChannel my code is:

void TelepathyHelper::sendSMS(const QString &contactIdentifier, const 
QString &message)
{
    ConversationChannel *conversationChannel = new 
ConversationChannel("/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/account0", 
contactIdentifier);
    connect(conversationChannel,
             SIGNAL(finished(Tp::PendingOperation*)),
             SLOT(onSendMessageFinished(Tp::PendingOperation*)));
    //this works! SMS is sent!!!! yippeee !!!
    conversationChannel->sendMessage(message);
}

Cheers

Chris
