I would like to retrieve the incoming call's phonenumber and do something with it like the do in
Caller ID by WhitePages: A New Android App that Puts Telemarketers on Alert!
Currently my code looks like below. When I place the call the CustomBroadcastReceiver catches it and the log message is printed out. I can retrieve the telephone number from the bundle. But! I can't get the CustomPhoneStateListener to work. As you can see I have registered my customPhoneState listener to the receiver but the log message never get's printed out from the CustomPhoneStateListener class. What am I my missing here? Is my thinking correct?
Code:
<receiver android:name=".CustomBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
Code:
public class CustomPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener {
private static final String TAG = "CustomPhoneStateListener";
public void onCallStateChange(int state, String incomingNumber){
Log.v(TAG, "WE ARE INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!");
Log.v(TAG, incomingNumber);
switch(state){
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
Log.d(TAG, "RINGING");
break;
}
}
Code:
public class CustomBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "CustomBroadcastReceiver";
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "WE ARE INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!");
TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
CustomPhoneStateListener customPhoneListener = new CustomPhoneStateListener();
telephony.listen(customPhoneListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String phoneNr= bundle.getString("incoming_number");
Log.v(TAG, "phoneNr: "+phoneNr);
}
