Yes, that's the way to go. In Harmattan QML, there were:
Qt.openUrlExternally("tel:012345xxxxx") for calls, and
Qt.openUrlExternally("sms:01234567444" + "?body=" + "bodytext") for SMSs.
The latter did not work for me so I had to use Harmattan c++ Qt Messaging:
QMessage sms;
sms.setType(QMessage::Sms);
sms.setBody(message);
iMessageService.compose(sms);
All these would open the default phone call or text messaging application
for the user to do the final decision.
I'm just wondering if these or similar tools will be made available on
SailfishOS. I haven't seen any yet.
Any observations? Will SMS messaging tools, along the lines above, be
available for Sailfish app development?
Cheers,
Seppo
