How can I detect when outgoing call has been accepted

I am not able to detect when outgoing call has been answered, I have registered BroadcastReceiver for PHONE_STATE broadcast, but onReceive() gets called only when number is dialed and when call has ended.

Edit: If it is not possible with current API (1.5 or 1.6) please enlighten me ?

Android does not have specific listener yet for making sure whether the call(outgoing call) is answered or not. The moment a number is dialled it goes to off_hook state (in case of outgoing call). This is one one of the gap which android telephony has to yet come up with

I don't see you getting any specific answers, so I try with a general one that may help. If you are referring to calls going out the PSTN (Public switched telephone network), you won't be able to detect when the far side answers. The way the phone network is structured, you won't be able to get that information except in very special cases. Usually what you see on the handset is the moment the call is being routed out of the cell network.

As for in network (same subscriber), it may be possible to get that information, but I'm not sure. You may want to look into CDMA or the protocol used by your carrier to see if it is going to even be possible to get farside information.
