Hi Mark -
Yes, thank you for that - ~so~ much better. Call starts, screen
changes.. ooh aah.
However, still some issues -
Right off, PhoneStateListener callback isn't being invoked for one.
Still analyzing the logCat...
Frustrating for me that the API is so coy about what is a Thread, what
is a Process etc. I feel as though I need to know what I'm dealing
with.
I would like to at least attempt to call finish on the
OutgoingCallBroadcaster activity to see if it hangs up the call. The
problem now is to try to get a reference to it if that is possible.
Looking at ActivityManager and RunningTaskInfo ...
