`from PyKDE4.akonadi import *`

Inherits: Akonadi.Job → KCompositeJob → KJob → QObject
Namespace: Akonadi

## Detailed Description

Job that creates a new item in the Akonadi storage.

This job creates a new item with all the set properties in the given target collection.

Note that items can not be created in the root collection (Collection.root()) and the collection must have Collection.contentMimeTypes() that match the mimetype of the item being created.

Example:

     // Create a contact item in the root collection

     KABC.Addressee addr;
     addr.setNameFromString( "Joe Jr. Miller" );

     Akonadi.Item item;
     item.setMimeType( "text/directory" );
     item.setPayload<KABC.Addressee>( addr );

     Akonadi.Collection collection = getCollection();

     Akonadi.ItemCreateJob *job = new Akonadi.ItemCreateJob( item, collection );
     connect( job, SIGNAL( result( KJob* ) ), SLOT( jobFinished( KJob* ) ) );

     ...

     MyClass.jobFinished( KJob *job )
     {
       if ( job->error() )
         qDebug() << "Error occurred";
       else
         qDebug() << "Contact item created successfully";
     }
