Getting java.lang.ClassCastException while sending DTMF tones over an active call in android
<p>I am developing an app that sends DTMF tones over an active call in android. I searched a lot to implement this feature in my app and i found this :  <strong>com.android.internal.telecom.IInCallAdapter</strong> interface that extends <strong>android.os.IInterface</strong>. There is a method <strong>playDtmfTone(String s,Char c)</strong> inside <strong>IInCallAdapter</strong> that we can use to send DTMF tones over an active call. I have an activity <strong>HelloPage.java</strong> that do so, but getting <strong>java.lang.ClassCastException</strong> error while initializing an object of <strong>IInCallAdapter</strong>. Well i know what this error means but don't know how to deal with this. Here is my code :</p>

<pre><code>public class HelloPage extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener{

Button DTMF_b1,DTMF_b2,DTMF_b3,DTMF_b4,DTMF_b5,DTMF_b6,DTMF_b7,DTMF_b8,DTMF_b9,DTMF_b0,DTMF_bS,DTMF_bP;

    callId = MainActivity.telecomCallId;  //Getting telecom Call ID from a static variable in a MainActivity

    DTMFToneDialedView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.id_DTMFToneDialedKey);
