Dees someone now, how to create a note programmatically in a QML based app? There are two use cases:

  1. Opening the notes app with a new note like the shortcut in the top menu
  2. Saving a note in the notes app database or file storage. I'm not sure, which storage approach the notes app uses.

jolla-notes seem to have a normal sqlite database i the folder '/home/nemo/.local/share/jolla-notes/QML/OfflineStorage/D atabases' [nemo@Sailfish Databases]$

@Rikujolla Thanks. So I need to reverse engineer the database model and have to use an SQL statement? Is ther a Qt API wrapper for sent SQL statements?

For use case 1 I have found the following approach with DBus:

First I used the following import statement in my QML file:

import Nemo.DBus 2.0

Then I defined an item in the QML file:

DBusInterface {
    id: notes
    service: "com.jolla.notes"
    path: "/"
    iface: "com.jolla.notes"
}

Finally I called the following method:

notes.call("newNote", [])

It might be trivial for most community members. However some beginners might be interested

It might be interesting for some developers, that the DBus interface also allows to trigger the import of a note, that was created in your app:

python.saveNote(noteString) // Use python or C++ to save a temporary file
notes.call("importNoteFile", ['/path/to/temp.txt']) // Use DBus interface for import
