How do I access call log for android?

Question

I would like to receive the call log. For example the number of calls made by the user, number of minutes called, etc.

How do I achieve this in android?

Answer 1

This is for accessing phone call history:

As of Jellybean (4.1) you need the following permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />

Code:

 Uri allCalls = Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls");  Cursor c = managedQuery(allCalls, null, null, null, null);  String num= c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.NUMBER));// for  number String name= c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME));// for name String duration = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DURATION));// for duration int type = Integer.parseInt(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.TYPE)));// for call type, Incoming or out going. 

Answer 2

This is method used to get the Call log. Just put this method in you class and get the List of the Call Log.

Check out this

private String getCallDetails() {          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();         Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, null,                 null, null, null);         int number = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.NUMBER);         int type = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.TYPE);         int date = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DATE);         int duration = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DURATION);         sb.append("Call Details :");         while (managedCursor.moveToNext()) {             String phNumber = managedCursor.getString(number);             String callType = managedCursor.getString(type);             String callDate = managedCursor.getString(date);             Date callDayTime = new Date(Long.valueOf(callDate));             String callDuration = managedCursor.getString(duration);             String dir = null;             int dircode = Integer.parseInt(callType);             switch (dircode) {             case CallLog.Calls.OUTGOING_TYPE:                 dir = "OUTGOING";                 break;              case CallLog.Calls.INCOMING_TYPE:                 dir = "INCOMING";                 break;              case CallLog.Calls.MISSED_TYPE:                 dir = "MISSED";                 break;             }             sb.append("\nPhone Number:--- " + phNumber + " \nCall Type:--- "                     + dir + " \nCall Date:--- " + callDayTime                     + " \nCall duration in sec :--- " + callDuration);             sb.append("\n----------------------------------");         }         managedCursor.close();         return sb.toString();      } 

the output looks
