Can LC answer a call?

[kurt]

Google has recently made it more difficult for 3rd party apps to answer and end calls, and I wondered if any of LC's functions are involved in the telephony area of Android devices.

I guess the answer is "No" at the present time?

How about the ability to react to notifications from other apps?

Hi Kurt,

No, its not yet possible to answer an incoming call within a LiveCode built Android application. As far as I'm aware, you are limited to "launch URL tel:", which will launch the Android devices native calling application to make a call.

In regards to reacting to notifications from other apps, this is again something that I don't believe is possible. You could set up a custom URL scheme to possibly launch your LiveCode built app from another applications notification . See URLwakeup within the LiveCode dictionary for further information

Kind Regards,
