Ringing myself using android emulator

Question

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.

Answer 1

• 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. alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6c15bc13f1.png
• Press "Dial". A new inbound call appears in the second emulator instance.

Answer 2

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
> !
