*> My code will run right until it gets to creating the telephony manager instance but will not actually create it and it throws aNullPointerException (I think).* What do you mean "I think"? Have you looked at the logcat info to determine what the problem may be? Look specifically for a "caused by" line... * > Is there something I'm doing wrong?* Yes... otherwise you wouldn't get the exception. :-)
*> Do I have to create a context and call getSystemService(...) with context.getSystemService(...)?* Application is a Context... so you don't need to create a new one. You should be able to call this method just fine from an Application subclass. I've never subclassed Application before so I'm not super qualified on the subject, but what does your application tag in your manifest look like? I ask that because the documentation for the Application class ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Application.html) says this: *"Base class for those who need to maintain global application state. You can provide your own implementation by specifying its name in your AndroidManifest.xml's <application> tag, which will cause that class to be instantiated for you when the process for your application/package is created." * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world... Those who know binary and those who don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Wall-E <bashee...@gmail.com> wrote: > Oh, and I do add the following permission: > > <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" /> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Beginners" group. > > NEW!
