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.

    public ExampleMIDlet() {
        mainForm = new Form("ExampleMIDlet");
        
        // Create a phone number field, which allows a call to be made
        mainForm.append(new TextField("Phone number", null, 20,
                TextField.PHONENUMBER));
        
        exitCommand = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0);
        mainForm.addCommand(exitCommand);
        mainForm.setCommandListener(this);
    }
    
    /**
     * Called when the MIDlet is started.
     */
    public void startApp() {
        Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mainForm);
    }

    // ...

     */
    public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) {
        if (command == exitCommand) {
            // Exit the MIDlet
            destroyApp(true);
            notifyDestroyed();
        }
    }
