Can a telephony.Phone object be instantiated through the sdk?

Question

I am trying to get a phone object so that I can call and conference two numbers from within my application.

I have tried using the static PhoneFactory.makeDefa

Answer 1

I called it from Activity.onCreate and it crashed several lines after your problem with the following error:

Default phones haven't been made yet!

See the Android sources:

public static Phone getDefaultPhone() {
    if (sLooper != Looper.myLooper()) {
        throw new RuntimeException(
            "PhoneFactory.getDefaultPhone must be called from Looper thread");
    }

    if (!sMadeDefaults) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Default phones haven't been made yet!");
    }
    return sProxyPhone;
}
