Re: [SailfishDevel] Fwd: Re: Re: How to get contacts and sms through Qt(C++)
Andrey That solution would be perfect for me, I would have no problem with supplying the code. The sources for the Harmattan version are out there on Github already, and the Sailfish sources soon will be. In theory it might even be possible to separate the SMS bit of my app, including the control used to display the text, name and number + send button into a separate shared library C++ that would be called by my app. My app would simply provide the SMS body and the name of number of the chosen contact, and the library would take care of the rest. This would reduce the amount of code that would need to be audited. (At the moment the GUI bits are QML, I would need to do some thinking about how to move these to C++) Chris Zitat von Andrey Kozhevnikov coderusin...@gmail.com: Maybe an option to share sources to jolla QA or even letting them to build application from sources and uploading to store to be 100% sure in usecase?

I understand that there is a strong need to prevent apps that send SMSes without the user's consent (a security issue), or to premium SMS numbers, thereby defrauding the user. But we should not throw out the baby with the bathwater. There will be apps where SMS sending / handling is a primary part of the use-case, and where the user willingly consents to each SMS being sent by that app. My own use-case (simplified) is this: My main hobby is paragliding. Mostly we land close to where we started (at the foot of the mountain), but sometime we go cross-country and land many kilometres away, and need to communicate back to a recovery team the GPS location of the landing site. The secondary use-case (secondary only because it should be far less often used). Is the emergency situation. You have landed in a tree, or as happened to me at the start of this year, are stuck on a cold and snowy mountain slope with darkness approaching. Here you need to alert the recovery team with your location, and the fact that your status is NOT OK. My app uses GPS and SMS to achieve this. Before flying the user sets up a number of SMS templates (basically pre-filled messages to which GPS coords will later be added. On landing the user fires up the app, which starts the GPS. Once the GPS has acquired a fix, the user can then chose between Ok and Status NOT Ok SMSes. Based on this choice, the appropriate SMS template is taken, the GPS coords are added to this, and a pre-selected contact associated with the SMS template is chosen. The user sees both the text of the SMS, and the chosen contact name and number. At this point the user can press send, and the SMS is sent to the displayed contact. He also has the option of adding further text to the SMS, and of changing the contact. The aim is that he user should be able to send the SMS with an absolute minimum of button presses, either because he may be tired (Ok Situation), or because he is tired / injured / cold / wet (Emergency situation). On the Harmattan version of the app I have one press to open the app, a second to chose between Ok / Not Ok, and a third for Send. In this case the phone may be being used at the limits of touchscreen capabilities (cold and wet), so big buttons are called for. It is in no way concealed from the user that the app sends SMSes: Indeed it is the purpose of the app. There are other apps out there with similar use cases. The Swiss Helicopter rescue service REGA have one for iOS and Android. Later I intend to make the other half: in this case an app for the Recovery team, that would pick incoming landed SMSes from pilots, and display distance and bearing for each of these relevant to the position of the recovery team. Happy Christmas all.

Allowing arbitrary applications to send SMS brings a big cost risk for the user, due to all the premium SMS services out there - it'll only be possible once we enforce proper application permissions. My app is designed for emergency use, must be easy to use as possible, and therefore I require a larger send button. I know from personal experience that trying to operate a mobile when it is wet and below zero degrees is not easy (at the very edge of the capabilities of touch screen technology).

Hi Max
No problem, your english is excellent. What is your mother language?
I am visiting family for Christmas at the moment, so I will keep this
first mail short. I will try and post again this evening.
So first, SMS: In my app I only need to send smses, and I do it using
the Telepathy library. My explanation below reflects how I did it
and my use-case, but there are other routes you can take.
The C++ code I am using is at the bottom of this mail.
Note this is ported from Harmattan, and not fully tested yet as my
Sailfish app is not fully ported, and I only have the Emulator. No
sign of my phone arriving ...
On Harmattan I originally used the Mobility API, but as that API had a
very negative effect on app startup time, and is not available for Qt5
/ Sailfish, I wrote code similar to that below for Harmattan, and was
able to test it with a real Nokia N9.
//in the .pro file
QT += dbus
PKGCONFIG += TelepathyQt5
Note I need to play around more with the .pro file settings, but with
the ones above, Telepathy is found, and the code compiles.
Note also that the account used below is almost certainly wrong for
Sailfish, it is the one that works on the N9.
You also need to make sure that the correct Telepathy Modules are
installed. I will post more on this later, but for now I think you
will need
telepathy-ring-devel, telepathy-mission-control, telepathy-qt5-devel.
I will post separately on QtContacts in the next few days, as and when
Christmas / family festivities permit.
Ciao

Hi Chris
Thanks for your help，I reviewed all your posts ，however, I still do
not know how to start.
Will you be able to provide some cases I can refer to？

Hi myinjun
If you search through the archives of this mailing list, especially
for posts with my name you will find some stuff on Sailfish and SMS.
I was able to get SMS working (as far as that is possible) on the
Emulator using the Telepathy libraries.
Note however that currently that will probably be a no-no for
inclusion in the Harbour Store.
For Contacts access, see the recent thread on QtContact.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Fwd: Re: Re: How to get contacts and sms through Qt(C++)
Hi Jonni
Thanks, I mentioned that at earlier in this thread.
However I think that the harbour rule is too strict. I think there is
a legitimate case for apps that clearly state that their purpose is to
send SMSes, and have their own send button -- i.e. SMSes are only
sent with explicit permission of the user at time of sending.
Chris
Zitat von Jonni Rainisto jonni.raini...@jolla.com:
Please keep in mind that Harbour will not allow any application that
sends SMS'es by themselves, if you want application to send sms'es
you should open systems sms sending app (mayba can prefill the
data), but end user should clearly press the send button her/himself
before text message is sent.
