Abstract

The present invention can include a method for initiating a dispatch call. The method can include a step of receiving a dispatch call request from a MIDlet disposed within a JAVA™ mobile edition (ME) environment of a communication device, such as a mobile telephony device. The method can determine whether the MIDlet is in a domain having access to dispatch call functions implemented within a native environment of the communication device. When the domain has access, a dispatch communication session can be established for the dispatch call request. The dispatch communication session can execute within the native environment without exiting the JAVA™ ME environment. When the domain lacks access, the dispatch call request can be conveyed to the native environment, the MIDlet can quit executing, the JAVA™ ME environment can be exited, and a dispatch communication session for the dispatch call request can be established from within the native environment.
