How do I get state of a outgoing call in android phone?

Question

I noticed in the class TelephonyManager there are CALL_STATE_IDLE, CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK and CALL_STATE_RINGING. They seem to be used for incoming calls.

From what I understand, you can detect that an outgoing call has been initiated because the phone state changes from idle to offhook. However, from there, knowing the state of that call- ie knowing if the call you are placing is ringing, being transferred to voice mail, actually picked up or just timed out appears to be something that we cannot detect.

Now I'm not sure if it is just undetectable in the SDK, but is communicated over the network and possibly detectable from the radio receiver itself, or if that information just plain isn't being transmitted.
