Question

I want to create an call recorder application in blackberry. While searching in this forum i have got call-recorder-in-blackberry this link. The code given in the below link is fairly understood.

It might be a silly question to you experts but my question is how to us that piece of code. I mean the MyScreen object will work on UIApplication. But how can i make my module start while starting the device, and run in background waiting for the phone call listener to invoke.

---

I have used this below code, it records the call but only if the call is on loud speaker mode. Now how can i do the same without putting in loud speaker mode.

Actually direct call recording not possible with blackberry. AFAIK that posted code is call recording when call on speakerphone. That means If mobile have the loud speaker, then put a call to loud speaker and record that voice. And look at this discussion, Call recorder in Blackberry.
