Question

I have the following code:

String state= bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
if (state.equalsIgnoreCase(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER)
{
Toast toast= new Toast(context);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP,0,0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.Length_LONG);
toast.makeText(..).show();
toast.show();
}

I need to keep the toast up until the person answers to the phone. How to do that?
I know I have to create and start a thread when I have incoming number and stop the thread when the person answers. how to accomplish this?

thx

Try like this..

 Toast.Length_LONG gives toast for only 3.5 seconds..

so.. create a countdowntimer of 3.5 seconds like this..in your activity’s onCreate

 String state= bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
 MyCount counter;
counter=new MyCount(3500,1000);
counter.start();

MyCount class..

   public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer{
 public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
}
 @Override
public void onFinish() {
 if (state.equalsIgnoreCase(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER){
  Toast toast= new Toast(youractivity.this);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP,0,0);
toast.setDuration(Toast.Length_LONG);
toast.makeText(..).show();
toast.show();
  counter= new MyCount(3500,1000);
 counter.start();
    }

}
 @Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
    }
}
}

this continuously shows toast till you answer the call..or your incoming call ends due to timeout..
