Overview

This snippet demonstrates how to make a phone call by using a TextField. The MIDlet constructs a phone number field and displays it on the screen. The user may enter a phone number into it or obtain one from the Contacts list. After that, he or she can select Options > Call to call that number.

        // Create a phone number field, which allows a call to be made
        mainForm.append(new TextField("Phone number", null, 20,
                TextField.PHONENUMBER));
