[maemo-developers] DBus + skype

[From: Felipe Crochik]

I am working on an application to interface with the address book and place
calls. I don't want/need to rewrite the code to actually handle the calling.
I just want to start the "default" application with the phone number to
call.

I am looking for dbus messages that will:
1. call a phone number using "my" skype account
2. start chat UI with a given skype user
3. start "voice" and "video" skype calls with a give skype user

I could use telepathy but I don't want/have to recreate the UI and even less
to try to reinvent the wheel. I just want to tell the existing applications
to handle contacting a given number/user and show the right UI. I assume
that is what happens now between the "contacts" application (and/or "call
log" application) and the "call application".

I successfully handled to start a call using the "cellular modem"
(com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith), start the "call number" UI
(com.nokia.CallUI.CreateCall"), start the email UI
("com.nokia.modest.MailTo") and start sms UI
("com.nokia.MessagingUI.messaging_ui_interface_start_sms") but can't find
anything to handle skype connections.

Thanks,
Felipe
