Blackberry: PhoneLogs.deleteCall() does not work - blackberry

Question

On Blackberry 6.0, I have used the following code to delete all the call logs:
PhoneLogs logs = PhoneLogs.getInstance();
int lenNormal = logs.numberOfCalls(PhoneLogs.FOLDER_NORMAL_CALLS);
for (int i = 0; i < lenNormal; i++) {
logs.deleteCall(i, PhoneLogs.FOLDER_NORMAL_CALLS);
}
int lenMissed = logs.numberOfCalls(PhoneLogs.FOLDER_MISSED_CALLS);
for (int i = 0; i < lenMissed; i++) {
logs.deleteCall(i, PhoneLogs.FOLDER_MISSED_CALLS);
}
int total = lenNormal + lenMissed;
Dialog.alert("Deleted: " + total);
The dialog box says it has deleted N number of call logs but I still see the call logs in the phone. The program runs smoothly without any exception.
Googling say that: (1) Restart the phone, (2) Introduce some delay if you are deleting inside PhoneLogListener. I have tried those options too. But no luck!
Thanks in advance for any help.

It is a known bug that call log entry can not be deleted using: PhoneLogs.deleteCall(). See it here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Unable-to-delete-phone-logs/m-p/1587315
As a hackish solution, you can use input simulation though. For example:
private void deleteLatestCallLog() {
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_PHONE,
new PhoneArguments());
}
});
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
injectKeyEvent(Keypad.KEY_BACKSPACE);
}
});
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
injectKeyEvent(Keypad.KEY_ENTER);
}
});
UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
injectKeyEvent(Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE);
}
});
}
But this method has a few bugs. It should not be used at all in my opinion :-)
