I'd like to know:
When I searched regarding this I am getting only the Classes and methods to create my own app. Requesting for the explanation.
In Android it is possible to detect call events using the built-in TelephonyManager
API.TelephonyManager
class provides access to information about the telephony services on the device.
Example :
Create a new class called MyCallReceiver
package com.example;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
// This code will execute when the phone has an incoming call
// get the phone number
String incomingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
Toast.makeText(context, "Call from:" +incomingNumber, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} 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 disconnected
Toast.makeText(context, "Detected call hangup event", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
BroadcastReceiver class that will monitor the phone state and whenever there is a change in phone state, the onReceive() method of the BroadcastReceiver will be called.
Add the READ_PHONE_STATE
permission in your AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="com.example.MyCallReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
