I am developing a small application on Google's android emulator.
I am trying to figure out how I can simulate a phone call from one instance of an emulator to another (both running on my computer). Does anyone know how this can be done?
Thank you very much.
Launch the dialer application on the
first emulator. As the
number to dial, enter the console
port number of the second emulator you'd
like to simulate a call on.
You can see the port number of the instance in the windows title of the emulator.

Press "Dial". A new inbound
call appears in the second emulator
instance.
Alternatively to the solution provided by Kami, you can use DDMS or just the android console (in Linux and assuming emulator port is 5554):
$ telnet localhost 5554 <<!
> gsm call 12345678
> !
simply open the DDMS from the eclipse and choose emulator control
and you'll find a tel bar just type the phone number you want the emulator to receive and hit call
In order for calling the port number to work, both emulator instances must be started from the same android AVD manager process. Two separate 'android' processes launching different emulators will not be able to call each other.
In Emulator's "Extended Controls" window, there's an option to ring the phone artificially by means of a button "Call Device". See screenshot below:

I need to automatically click on a specific button on an app. Is there a way to do this on a completely controlled environment?
By controlled environment, I mean the phone could be rooted, it could be connected to a desktop machine, any external app could be installed, and any other requirement.
Note: the button is NOT on an exposed activity.
Yes, if the phone is connected to a desktop machine, you can install adb on the machine, connect the phone to the machine with a USB cable, and authorize the machine to access the phone by clicking "OK" on the prompt displayed on the phone. Having ensured that the path variable (assuming you're on Windows) contains the location of adb.exe, all you need to do is type the following in the terminal:
adb usb
adb shell input tap X Y
Where X and Y are the coordinates of the button. This should work if by "not exposed" you meant that "other applications are not allowed to start the button activity".
In general: No it is not possible even from a rooted phone.
On special cases, when previously the original app developer published a part of the code be callable from other app than that part of the code can be called, but you don't know if is equivalent or not with the button pressing. When you have this option and the luck to have it than you can call it. You can read more here
Hi all i am trying to launch Desktop Head Unit(DHU) using android ADB.
I have followed all steps what mentioned in installing DHU steps.
But i am getting following error.
Please some body help me how to resolve this.
Make sure you perform the following steps:
Make sure developer mode is enabled on your phone.
Install Android Auto on your phone.
Enable developer mode by tapping on the title in the app several times quickly.
Once in developer mode, tap on the 3 dot menu on the top corner and click "Start head unit server".
Connect your device to the computer.
On your computer now, enable tcp forwarding via "adb forward tcp:5277 tcp:5277" (if this fails, you may need to call adb kill-server). You will need to perform this step any time you disconnect then reconnect your phone to the computer.
Start the DHU by calling desktop-head-unit.exe
"Developer Mode
Finally, a note about developer mode, since a few people will certainly ask. It's still there and accessible in basically the same way. Instead of tapping several times on the lead image, you'll want to give ten quick taps right on the words "Android Auto" in the action bar. Just like before, a toast message will confirm that it worked. But don't expect anything new in the developer options screen, it's identical to the previous version."

Enjoy your Android car development ;)
First connect your phone to computer then open android auto on your phone click menu icon(you need to enable developer mode on app first) click start head unit server.Try to open DHU on your computer.
As we know, we can make an incoming call or send sms to emulator by telnet command.
But I need make an incoming call on android side. Because telnet is just used for login in android side,so I think there must be a way to execute command on android side.
Is there anyone know how to make it?
From : Make incoming call in Android emulator without command code
Create a second emulator. Use the first emulator to call the second emulator. Emulator's number is the port number. 5554, 5556 etc.
Just follow Go to Window ===> Open Perspective & choose DDMS
In DDMS click on Emulator Control, then select Voice. Enter number of the emulator on which you want to make the call. and then click on call.
I'm trying to develop a small app that will be registered on PhoneStateListener and do some magic over incoming and outgoing calls monitor. For debugging purposes, I need to trigger onCallStateChanged(...) event from outside of phone, not perform real incoming voice call.
Is it possible to do this somehow with sending phone number to debugged app without command line code?
create one more emulator on avd machine. You can find the emulator number from top of the emulator. Eg. 5554 this number is like phone number you can enter the emulator this number(5554 or 5556 or somting) and make a incoming call.
enjoy ...
Just follow Go to Window ===> Open Perspective & choose DDMS
In DDMS click on Emulator Control then select Voice and write number of another emulator on which You want to call. and then click on call .
You can find another emulator number from top of the emulator.
Hope it will helps you.
You can use DDMS perspective in eclipse for initiating dummy calls , message etc
You can see DDMS perspective on top right corner if you do not see it
Go to Window ===> Open Perspective & choose DDMS
Try one more emulator. You can find the emulator number from top of the emulator. Eg. 5556
I find many things in DDMS Emulator Control tab, I just want to make/simulate a call from DDMS. How to do that. Also where can I find details about Emulator Control tab?
Thanx
Call as if to simulate a phone call?
1 Window > Open Perspective > DDMS
2 'Emulator Control' Tab
3 In Telephony Actions, enter any number in 'Incoming Number' textfield.
4 Choose 'Voice' from the two radiobuttons.
5 Finally, click on Call.
To disconnect, click Hang up.
More here.
Hope this helps...
I think you have received an appropriate answer for making a call to your emulator. Just refer more details about Emulator Control tab at link: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html#ops-location
Take a look at Using DDMS where you will find all the required info.
You can do DDMS jobs via telnet:
Type in CMD:
telnet
open localhost 5554
sms send 000000 hello
The list of available commands:
event simulate hardware events
geo Geo-location commands
gsm GSM related commands
cdma CDMA related commands
kill kill the emulator instance
network manage network settings
power power related commands
quit|exit quit control session
redir manage port redirections
sms SMS related commands
avd control virtual device execution
window manage emulator window
qemu QEMU-specific commands
sensor manage emulator sensors
Other than DDMS, there is one more option:
The emulator automatically forwards simulated voice calls from one instance to another. To send a voice call, use the dialer application application, respectively, from one of the emulators.
To initiate a simulated voice call to another emulator instance:
1.Launch the dialer application on the originating emulator instance.
2.As the number to dial, enter the console port number of the instance you'd like to call. You can determine the console port number of the target instance by checking its window title, where the console port number is reported as "Android Emulator (<port>).
3.Press "Dial". A new inbound call appears in the target emulator instance.
