Question

I d like to have some code be notified of any incoming and outgoing voice calls. I need to grab all the following:

If it was an incoming or outgoing call
Number dialed, or incoming caller-id phone number
Duration of call, or if it was a missed call

It would also be really slick if I could get more contact info, specifically the contact name, if the phone number matches up to someone in the phone s contacts list, but that part is optional.

I need my code to get this information pretty much as soon as a call has ended. Maybe I m just not searching for the correct terms but I m having a real hard time finding any examples of how I would accomplish this.

If someone could provide a code example that accomplishes this, along with the permissions and any sort of broadcast receiver type of setup I would need in the manifest file, that would be great.

Answer 1

You should be able to directly watch outgoing calls by listening for android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL broadcast events, by setting the android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS permission in your manifest.

I imagine this should work for other devices; at least on my HTC Hero this gives me an Intent full of extras including the phone number being called, the contact s name plus URIs for the contact and individual number being called.

As for getting full information on incoming or missed calls (and indeed outgoing calls), I believe the solution as Mark mentions is to watch the CallLog content provider for changes, or poll after the relevant PhoneStateListener events have been fired.

Answer 2

A PhoneStateListener and the CallLog content provider will give you most, if not all, of what you need.
