SMS share-plugin for nemotransferengine-qt5. Supports sharing mime-types "text/vcard" ie. contacts and "text/x-url" is. Links.

Please note after updating a device reboot or a display system restart required.

The plugin supports 3 sending modes of the contacts:

  • Short plaintext: only the contact name and it's phone numbers will be generated
  • Full plaintext: all contact details will be added
  • SmartMessaging vCard: this is a special format developed originally by Nokia. Old Nokia feature phones, and Sailfish OS supports it: the sent data could be imported on the receiver side as a simple vCard. Android known to be ignoring this method, iOS support is unknown.

Source code can be found here:

https://github.com/martonmiklos/harbour-sms-share-plugin

Translations:

The plugin serialization backend uses the strings of the contacts app. (sailfish-components-contacts-qt5 on the Pootle) If any of the placeholders in the generated SMS are incorrct head to the Pootle.

The UI strings could be translated, feel free to open up a Github PR or Issue.

Bug reporting:

Open up a terminal.

set LANG=<locale code>

start jolla-contacts

Share the vCard data from the command line output, and the resulted SMS text in a Github Issue. (Feel free to mangle personal details, the vCard keys are the most important.)

Sorry dude it took so long time, but it should be working now with 1.0.9.

Side note: I had to move the plugin to the /usr/share/nemo-transferengine to being able to be used in sandboxed apps.

You need to activate Developer Mode from Settings, once activated, you can then open the Terminal application, in the terminal you then type `devel-su pkcon refresh` (enter password you set in developer mode here)

Android does supports sharing SMS (via plaintext), but does not supports receiving (and importing) vCards sent in SmartMessage format.
