Hi all.
I am following up on a previous message about answering a call and someone provided some links.
One of the links had the following code:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON);
KeyEvent event =new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, event ); context.sendOrderedBroadcast(i, null);

Only problem is, I am not sure how to convert this to B4A...well I can do the Intent part.......but the keyevent stuff I am not sure of.
Anyone able to help?

Jeremy

From My life with Android : Generating keypresses programmatically

And a quote from Diane Hackborn who is one of the Android development team and who often provides forum support [android-developers] Re: how to inject a KeyEvent - Dianne Hackborn - com.googlegroups.android-developers - MarkMail

Correct, one application can not inject key events into another
application. There should be no way around this.

I know what he's trying to do. He wants to control the media player, and that requires passing a keyevent inside an intent broadcast. That's how widgets do it anyway. But we need that keyevent class
