[android-developers] Re: hanging up/terminating a call in an automated fashion
Oh sorry, I should've been more clear. I was talking about the ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL. Hanging up incoming call programmaticaly is currently impossible. As for the outgoing call - it can be terminated only when initiated, because only then we can catch the Intent. After that there seems to be no access to the call. There is also no heart-beat message sent out every so often to indicate an active call. PhoneStateListener is also not helpful in this matter, as it receives only state changes events. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/41ae9a5fc8d17720?hl=en# On Oct 29, 10:30 pm, dreamerBoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ...Interesting Thanks so much for the reply.

I couldn't find anything that matches in the Standard Broadcast Actions of Google's android.content.Intent write-up page. You might be talking about the ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL broadcast. However, I don't want to prevent an outgoing call, I want to hang up a call that is already connected - whether the call originated from or is answered by the g-phone.

Second question is how to hang up an ~incoming~ call after it has been answered On Oct 27, 11:50 am, dreamerBoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi - I am looking for a way to terminate a call in an automated fashion.
