Voice Line Status Tutorial

This tutorial describes how to get the voice line status with the telephony API for applications.

Context

The CTelephony functions provide a detailed information on the voice line status. The detailed call information provides the information about:

call status
date of the call
time of the call
duration of the call
destination number
caller identification
dynamic call capabilities

Steps

create a new instance of CTelephony
use CTelephony::GetLineStatus() to get the simple voice line status
use CTelephony::GetCallStatus() to get the status of any voice call owned by the client application

use CTelephony::GetCallInfo() to get the detailed call information about the call

pass the following parameters for the required information

Example:

Parameter	Function
TCallStatus	To get the status of a call like idle, on-hold, dialling and ringing
TDateTime	To get the data and time of a call
TTimeIntervalSeconds	To get the duration of a call
TTelAddress	To get the destination number
TPhoneNetworkSecurity	To get the ciphering information from the network
TCallRemoteIdentityStatus	To determine if the remote caller status is available
TCallDirection	To determine the call direction

use GetCallDynamicCaps() to get the dynamic capability information about the call.

Voice call information example

The example code describes the steps to get the detailed call information.

CTelephony* telephony = CTelephony::NewLC();

CTelephony::TCallInfoV1 callInfoV1;
CTelephony::TCallInfoV1Pckg callInfoV1Pckg( callInfoV1 );

CTelephony::TCallSelectionV1 callSelectionV1;
CTelephony::TCallSelectionV1Pckg callSelectionV1Pckg( callSelectionV1 );

CTelephony::TRemotePartyInfoV1 remotePartyInfoV1;
CTelephony::TRemotePartyInfoV1Pckg remotePartyInfoV1Pckg( remotePartyInfoV1  );

callSelectionV1.iLine = CTelephony::EVoiceLine;
callSelectionV1.iSelect = CTelephony::EActiveCall;

telephony->GetCallInfo( callSelectionV1Pckg, callInfoV1Pckg, remotePartyInfoV1Pckg );

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy( telephony );

The example code to get the dynamic call capability information

CTelephony::TCallCapsV1 callCapsV1;
CTelephony::TCallCapsV1Pckg callCapsV1Pckg( callCapsV1 );

telephony->GetCallDynamicCaps( callId, callCapsV1Pckg );
TUint32 caps = callCapsV1.iControlCaps;
if( caps & CTelephony::KCapsHold )
   {} // The call represented by 'callId' can be put on hold
