Re: Messaging API

 

After a quick look, I realized I need to include that I want to share text in a text message. I assume that isn't covered in the messaging menu, or Gwibber portion. Is there something you can point me to that would help in that regard as well?

Hi is anyone aware of the API to integrate with messaging service for
the Ubuntu Touch platform?  I would also like to integrate with the
desktop messaging menu services as well.  I was not able to find this
information on the developer website, though I may have missed it.
Could anyone point me to the correct web page and/or give me any
pointers (is there a component I must import, or C++ header to include,
or js file, etc... etc..)

Thanks so much!

Also, is there an API to integrate into the Music App yet, along with
the sound menu for Desktop?  It seems like both messaging and sound
should be easy to integrate for both platforms by using some singular
header, or whatever.  Any help or information would be very much
appreciated!

We don't have QML APIs for those things yet, but they're on the TODO list. We expect to extend the Unity Actions interface to support those use-cases. For now you can use the lower level libraries documented here:

http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/platform/api/12-10/

There is libmessagingmenu for the messaging menu and libunity provides helper functions to make your app appear in the sound menu easily.

As far as touch vs. desktop, all of the indicators on the touch platform are converged already so there is no difference between what is running on touch and on the desktop.
