Initiating a phone call or sending an SMS from EWB app |

Jeff Cook Aspect Systems Ltd | Hi
I'm writing a little trial app that shows a list of contacts (from my application). I'd like to put a phone button and an SMS button alongside the phone numbers and by pressing a button start a call or text to that number. I have searched the forums and the docs and can't see a way to do this. I can't believe no one has asked this before, so I must be using the wrong search criteria - or I mustbe too dumb and everybody else can work it out. Cheers Jeff |

Well, the key question is how would you do it in any browser using HTML? That's all this all ends up as. The first thing I'd try is creating a TLink with the URL set to "tel:+0013405551234" and see if that will make a call. That's the simple way. If you are planning on running this on a device through PhoneGap, then you probably have other APIs you can call. -- Matthew Jones |

I have previously looked at PhoneGap - probably inspired by you posts here - and had filed it away under "Not Sure". Another look suggests that this is something I'll go with once I've sorted out the basics. Many Thanks, Matthew Cheers Jeff -- Matthew Jones |
