Hi.

My app extends Application and implements PhoneListener.

In callAnswered() I push a popup screen that shows a picture.

I am not catching any key inputs.

Does anybody know how to access the Phone dialer menu ? Because nothing happens when I press the menu key.

So basically, my popup screen 'overlays' the native dialer while in a call, but I need to keep all the functionalities of the native dialer.

What am I doing wrong that the Phone menu is not shown ?

your screen has its own menu, you have to add all items you want to show yourself.

Thanks.
So can you confirm that there is no way not to implement a 'pass through' screen which doesn't intercept any key input (allowing other applications to accept them) ?

Ok. If that is true, then the next question is: "can I recreate Phone menu in my screen (as to mimic it) ?"

I continued working and discovered a way to draw on a active application.

PHP Code:

UiApplication application = UiApplication.getUiApplication();        
application.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
  public void run(){
    Screen screenName = UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen(); 
    //Perform screen changes here.                
    Graphics g = screenName.getGraphics();
    g.setColor(0xFF8080);
    g.fillRect(10, 10, 100, 100);
    //Calling invalidate() on your screen forces the paint                 
    //method to be called.                 
    screenName.updateDisplay(); 
    //screenName.doPaint();                
    //screenName.invalidate();            
    }
}, 1, false ); 


Notice that only updateDisplay() will work.
But this method has a major drawback. When a user presses Phone's menu, the part of the screen showing menu will redraw (without my graphics) after the menu disappears.
That means I would need to repaint this 'red square' on almost every drawing event of the VoiceApp.

Anyone has an idea?

you can override display with your screen
this worked for me

public void callIncoming(int callId) {
		PhoneCall call = Phone.getCall(callId);
		MainScreen mainScreen = new MainScreen(Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR );
		StickerManager screen = new StickerManager();
		screen.add(new LabelField("Incoming phone call") );
		screen.add(new SeparatorField() );
		screen.add(new LabelField("Number :" + call.getDisplayPhoneNumber() ) );
		screen.add(new LabelField("Other  :" + call.getStatusString()));
		mainScreen.add(screen);
		UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushGlobalScreen(mainScreen, Integer.MIN_VALUE ,  UiEngine.GLOBAL_QUEUE);	
		UiApplication.getUiApplication().requestForeground();
	}

this is implementation for phone listener to display custom screen on incoming call

well, I am sorry to say but the code doesn't help at all.

First of all you did not define StickerManager (but I assumed it's a manager - not a screen as one would guess by the variable name)

This was my initial approach (only I used a more useful PopupScreen with applyTheme() overloaded) but it has a major flaw:
Once the screen is displayed you cannot have access to the VoiceApp's Menu.

Basically we created a new screen with it's own menu handling system.
So, you see, this code actually does much more than I need, and much less than I require .

But, anyway thank you for the input.

Hi!

I want to put a personalized screen instead of the standard incoming call screen (the one with the "phone number" and 2 buttons)... Can you share some code? I tried the code sample above and it didn't work at all.

Best regards!

Hi.
First check my account and see threads on the subject, but basically there are two options:
(a priori: implement phone listener)

1) Push a screen on top of VoiceApp. You need to mimic the VoiceApp menu and keys.
2) Draw on the VoiceApp. (explained in this thread). The drawback is that the app looks ugly when user activates menu (the VoiceApp is redrawn)

Hi!

Thanks for the answer! I can't put anything on top of the AppCallScreen... Even a screen with the highest priority... Can you please send some code and tell what JDE and what device are you using?

Br,
