Hi, I'm attempting to initiate an outgoing call from inside a Service.
In onStart(), I create an ACTION_CALL Intent, then attempt to start an Activity myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber)); initiateCall.startActivityForResult(myIntent, CALL_SETUP_ACTIVITY_ID); However, when I run the code I get a NullPointerException. Clearly, the intent and activity are non-null, so I'm wondering what Android is lacking here. 11-07 13:24:19.801: INFO/PhoneTestService(1250): onCreate called 11-07 13:24:19.801: INFO/PhoneTestService(1250): onStart called 11-07 13:24:19.801: INFO/PhoneTestService(1250): doIt called 11-07 13:24:19.811: DEBUG/PhoneTestService(1250): creating initiateCall activity 11-07 13:24:19.811: DEBUG/PhoneTestService(1250): initiateCall is NOT NULL!!!!! 11-07 13:24:19.820: INFO/PhoneTestService(1250): phone state is: CALL_STATE_IDLE 11-07 13:24:21.601: INFO/PhoneTestService(1250): starting to listen Fri Nov 07 13:24:19 PST 2008 11-07 13:24:21.622: INFO/PhoneTestService(1250): starting call intent. 11-07 13:24:21.622: DEBUG/PhoneTestService(1250): myIntent is NOT NULL!!!!! 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): ERROR: java.lang.NullPointerException 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): java.lang.NullPointerException 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:2528) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at test.phone.PhoneTestService.doIt(PhoneTestService.java:254) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at test.phone.PhoneTestService.onStart(PhoneTestService.java:145) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleServiceArgs(ActivityThread.java:2429) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$3100(ActivityThread.java:112) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1640) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:88) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3742) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:515) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:739) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:497) 11-07 13:24:21.632: ERROR/PhoneTestService(1250): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Don't know where to go from here... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="test.phone" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0"> <application> <activity android:name=".PhoneTest" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".PhoneTestActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_CALL" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <service android:name=".PhoneTestService"></service> </application> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses- permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_ACTIVITY_WATCHER"></uses- permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.STATUS_BAR"></uses- permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_DEBUG_APP"></ uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED"></ uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"></uses- permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"></ uses-permission> </manifest> Any ideas appreciated.
