Send Voice Note attachment(s) along with Voice-To-Text "body" in e-mail/SMS message composition

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps come close to solving your problem?

1. Select desired voice notes.
2. Activate menu command to email/SMS selected notes.
3. Send the SMS/email via platform messaging application.

What additional functionality is needed to satisfy your needs?

 Cool! It would be nice if what we record can be directly sent by sms! [Rate: 8/10]

The above is for VoiceToGoog version 0.1.0 on Harmattan.

 @Anonymous_from_SWITZERLAND -- I really wanted to be able to send the selected audio clips as attachments along with their voice-to-text as mail-body, for both SMS and E-mail. However, the goal of 0.1.0 was to "release early" and hopefully the refinements will come through the "release often" part of my development process. In the first release, 0.1.0, I just used simple API's documented in http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_Developing_for_Harmattan_Launching_another_application_from_your_application.html ... for the future I'll use http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/serviceactions.html and http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/serviceactions.html to setup more elaborate mail drafts, with HTML body representing the voice-to-text of each selected voice note, along w/ attachment. From there you run the platform SMS/email application, fill out the address, and send. 

 If you think this is a good way of implementing this feature, please comment/vote on the feature request I've entered for this issue: http://code.google.com/p/voicetogoog/issues/detail?id=1

See also http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/7759 for example code 
for sending HTML message body. Use paragraphs, list-items, table, etc to 
separate or delineate each separate voice message. (and if possible, give link 
to the  associated attachment# contained in the message?)

Use dbus to send message w/ attachments...

For example code see "Using D-Bus to launch applications" in 
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_De
veloping_for_Harmattan_Launching_another_application_from_your_application.html 

This appears to be the call that needs to be accessed, not sure how the 
attachment could be stored in "list of uri string" unless that means a direct 
link to the audio file??

http://gitorious.org/modest/modest/blobs/master/libmodest-dbus-client/src/libmod
est-dbus-client.c#line102

/**
 * libmodest_dbus_client_compose_mail:
 * @osso_context: a valid #osso_context_t object.
 * @to: The Recipients (From: line)
 * @cc: Recipients for carbon copies
 * @bcc: Recipients for blind carbon copies
 * @subject: Subject line
 * @body: The actual body of the mail to compose.
 * @attachments: Additional list of attachments. A list of URI strings.
 * 
 * This function will try to do a remote procedure call (rpc)
 * into modest (or start it if necessary) and open a composer
 * window with the supplied parameters prefilled.

regarding above, http://gag.org.ua/category/calendarfeed/ has some good hints 
on using dbus on Harmattan.
