To make a call to a fixed number from a j2me application

Question

hi all,
i am working on a mobile application. i want to have an option for the user to make a call to a fixed number by pressing the call button from within the application. as far i understand we can use canvas to detect a key press and the platformRequest() method of midlet to make a call... but what i use is in my application are all forms. by using forms is my requirement possible? or if i need to use canvas alone, what can i do if i need to have an input mode like a text box also.please help how to achieve this....

Answer 1

I also dont know how to get keypress() in Form. but see UIDemo in WTK22/apps this might help u.
u know how to call by directly entering the cell no.,
platformRequest("tel:[phone]");
if u want an input mode like TextBox then,
protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException
          d=Display.getDisplay(this);
          call=new Command("Call",Command.SCREEN,2);
          exit=new Command("Exit",Command.SCREEN,1);
          tx=new TextField("Enter the phone no","",20,TextField.PHONENUMBER);
          f=new Form("To call");
          f.addCommand(call);
          f.addCommand(exit);
          f.append(tx);
          f.setCommandListener(this);
          d.setCurrent(f);
get the no. in TextBox using 'String no = tx.getString();'
& use 'platformRequest(no);
I think this will help u..
