I have a requirement wherein I want to detect two kind of events related to Calls in Android
- Whenever an outgoing call is made, my application should get to know this along with the called number
- When the call is hanged up(due to success/failure), my application should get to know this along with the reason of hangup
Is this possible in Android?
You should create a BroadcastReceiver:
public class CallReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(
TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
// Phone number
String incomingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
// Ringing state
// This code will execute when the phone has an incoming call
} else if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(
TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)
|| intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(
TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK)) {
// This code will execute when the call is answered or disconnected
}
}
}
You should register you application to listen to these intents in the manifest:
<receiver android:name=".CallReciever" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
There is a simpler solution using only TelephonyManager and
PhoneStateListener.You don´t even have to register a BroadcastReceiver.
public class MyPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener {
@Override
public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
switch (state) {
//Hangup
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
break;
//Outgoing
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
break;
//Incoming
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
break;
}
}
}
And to register it:
public static void registerListener(Context context) {
((TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE)).listen(new MyPhoneStateListener(),
PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
}
You need to create a receiver for the following intent actions:
- Outgoing call - ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL
- Call hangup - ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED
