how to find outgoing number in Telephony manager

Question

I am using this:

public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber)

which is listening to:

telephonyManager.listen(listener,PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

I want to know both outgoing and incoming calls but for now I only get incoming calls (when state changes is ringing). Can anyone tell me when can I detect outgoing call and its end

Also is there a way to simulate outgoing calls in Eclipse emulator. was able to do that for incoming calls via emulator control in eclipse.

Answer 1

Use a broadcast listener with an intent android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL string parametrer for the IntentFilter and don't forget to give permission in AndroidMenifest to PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS. This will work. Whenever there is an outgoing call a toast message will be shown. Code is below.

public static final String outgoing = "android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" ;
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(outgoing);
BroadcastReceiver OutGoingCallReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String outgoingno = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
        Toast.makeText(context, "outgoingnum =" + outgoingno,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
};
registerReceiver(brForOutgoingCall, intentFilter);
