I make a BroadcastReceiver
to receive Phone number of the person who call me
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
How to check if the phone number receive is on my contact list ?
Do you have a tip to know if this phone number exist on contact list with out loading contact list ?
I don't want more information, just if this phone number exist.
If it's not possible, and I must load contact list, how to do it on BroadcastReceiver
?
When I try to do getContentResolver
, it's not working because I'm on BroadcastReceiver
and not inside Activity
...
Thanks for your help
Whitepages is an easy-to-use online people search, background check search, and tenant screening tool. With the People Search feature, you can find a phone number of a person by entering their name and location. While it only works to find people in the US, Whitepages helps find landline and cell phone numbers.
On Android the most common path to finding your number is: Settings > About phone/device > Status/phone identity > Network. This slightly differs on Apple devices, where you can follow the path of Settings > Phone > My Number.
public boolean contactExists(Context context, String number) {
// number is the phone number
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
String[] mPhoneNumberProjection = { PhoneLookup._ID, PhoneLookup.NUMBER, PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(lookupUri, mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
try {
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
cur.close();
return true;
}
} finally {
if (cur != null)
cur.close();
}
}
return false;
}
