What happened to android.provider.Telephony?

Question

Does anyone know what happened to android.provider.Telephony? It is not there anymore.

Answer 1

The code you linked to on anddev.org is for SDK version m5-rc14 which is from February, 2008 almost an entire year old. The current SDK version is 1.0, with two releases between it and m5-rc14.

Given the nature of the Android project they have added and removed many interfaces in its rapid growth/adoption. A lot of people have complained that they are closing out some of the interfaces to some cool parts of the operating system, such as the Telephony interface.

You can check out android.telephony (link) package and see if there is equivalent functionality there.
