Not getting correct value when retrieving current outgoing phone number in android (1 answer)

Closed 6 years ago.

I am trying to get outgoing call number with intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER), but every time I try it returns null. I did put needed permissions and action in Androidmanifest. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to retrive number another way?

Answer 1

Ok, I found out what was wrong.

First of all intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER) gives you outgoing number while phone state is idle and turns to "null" while phone status changes to OFF_HOOK.

The easiest way was to save the number before another onRecive happens.
