Question

I would like to schedule a phone call on an android application.

I currently have an onClick event for a button to make a phone call, I also have time and date picker and would like to be able to use them to schedule a time to make the call.

Any help would be appreciated.

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Enter MSISDN Below" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>
    <EditText android:id="@+id/msisdn" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:inputType="phone">
        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/textView2" android:layout_width="344dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Enter Schedule Time Below" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>
    <TimePicker android:id="@+id/timePicker1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <Button android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Set Call" android:onClick="makeCall"/>

</LinearLayout>

******** Class *************************

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class CallAppActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

    public void makeCall(View view) {
          Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
            callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel: [phone]"));
            startActivity(callIntent);
    }
}

Don’t worry I figured it out. In case anyone is interested, I used a Handler to delay the intent action call.
