What i want to do is basically this: watch changes in call status (got this part already working), if there is an incoming call compare it to a list of numbers and block the incoming call if the phone number is on the list. There seems to be 2 problems with implementing this idea. The first problem is keeping your app running at any time (maybe a wake lock can fix this), the second problem is using functionality that actually is in the phone but not available in the SDK. I figured out that the Phone App which is in Android by default is keeping the RIL daemon busy, so making a new connection to the RIL daemon is not an option. According to the android architecture diagram the Phone App sits on the top layer, so i figured i might me able to use some functionality in the Phone app to be able to block/hangup a call. The phone app sits on top of everything and is able to block calls, why can't we? Is it because for some reason the phone app is the only app that is allowed to use some sort of internal functionality? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
