Sorry if you saw this in the other forum, I'm re-posting because I just found this sub-forum and it seems a better fit.

I have a ListView and I'm trying to invoke the browser from onTriggered.  I want to create an Invocation with an InvokeQuery that has a uri based the user's list selection.  I tried this:

            onTriggered: {
               var selectedItem = dataModel.data(indexPath);
               invokeBrowser.query.uri = selectedItem.link;
               invokeBrowser.trigger("bb.action.OPEN");
            }

            attachedObjects: [
               Invocation {
                  id: invokeBrowser

                  query: InvokeQuery {
                     uri: ""
                  }
               }
            ]

But I just get: InvokeQuery: trying to set sealed property uri

What is the right way to do this from QML/JavaScript?

I dont know if it has changed in Beta4 but in Beta3 it is not possible to change the InvokeQuery.uri dynamically. Once created this value it is read only - unfortunally. 

Instead you can call a c++ function to do it. 

I use:

void MyApp::invokeBrowser(const QString &uri) {
	InvokeRequest request;
	request.setAction("bb.action.OPEN");
	request.setMimeType("text/html");
	request.setUri(uri);
	const InvokeReply *reply = m_invokeManager->invoke(request);
}

UPDATE:

I just read, that it changed in Beta4.

You can change the Query but you need to call updateQuery() then. I will test it tomorrow.

look inside the documentation.

Is there a better way than updating the query?  Can I make a new Invocation object on the fly?

I can build a C++ wrapper, but I'd rather do it all from QML+JavaScript if possible.

Following the documentation this code should work, but it does not:

InvokeActionItem {
            id: invokeBrowser
            title: "Browser"
            imageSource: "asset:///images/browser_action.png"
            ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
            
            onTriggered: {
                query.uri = "http://myNewUri.com"
            }
            
            query {
                uri: ""
                mimeType: "text/html"
                invokeActionId: "bb.action.OPEN"
                onQueryChanged: invokeBrowser.query.updateQuery()
              }
            
        }

 The onQueryChanged Signal is unknown...

[singpolyma]

That's still updating the query.

I'll try getting Beta4 and using an update-the-query method, then.

[singpolyma]

Yeah, this does not work, and trying to invoke updateQuery directly fails still under BETA4 (gives an error).

[vingilot]

I am having an issue with updateQuery such as yours, was this resolved? I am using the gold version.

[singpolyma]

If it still doesn't work in gold, then they're probably not going to fix it.  I'm considering it a bug in the documentation for now.

I haven't yet, but am considering writing a shim in C++ that just gets included into my projects so that I can access a way to do invocations from QML.

[vingilot]

I'll look into doing the same, it is unfortunate that some of the documentation for this is slightly inaccurate.

This works for invoking the browser in a dynamic fashion

InvokeActionItem {
			id: invokeB
			title: "Open in Browser"
			imageSource: "images/globe.png"
			
			query {
				uri: webView.url
				mimeType: "text/html"
				invokeActionId: "bb.action.OPEN"
				onQueryChanged: invokeB.query.updateQuery()
			}
		
		}

 In the code above I am using the InvokeActionItem to open the current webView url in the external browser.
