I have a application for calling an API for phone call,
When a user dials a number from default dialer of android phone, the number should be copied into the second app(free call twilio),shown in picture.
Here is what I tried, but no luck.
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_BUTTON" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="tel" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Can anyone help please? :-)
please use below code
Register a BroadcastReceiver like this in Manifest file:
<!-- DIAL Receiver -->
<receiver
android:exported="true"
android:name="receivers.DialBroadcastReceiver" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
You need Permission for NEW_OUTGOING_CALL :
<!-- OUTGOING CALL PERMISSION-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />
public class DialBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.v("DileBroadCastReceiver","In onReceive()");
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL)) {
String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
Log.v("DialBroadcast Receiver","Number is: "+number);
}
}
}
I think you forgot to add intent-filter in your mainActivty like below
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
also add your existing intent-filter as well. Gud luck
It can be possible after searching a lot in google. Finally I got an answer I am sharing it for others.
It can be possible by adding following intent filter in manifest file.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_BUTTON" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
create a broadcast reciever with android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL and then call
dialledNumber=intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
This will give you outgoing number
try this.it might help
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber));
callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(callIntent);

What intent filter should be used so that my app is shown in activity chooser whenever outgoing call is made :like Viber and Skype are shown.
I am using this filter:
<receiver android:name="OutgoingCallReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
with permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />
still myApp do not appear in activity chooser.
Declare your Activity as to add it in option list for calling application
<activity android:name="Makecall" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL" />
<data android:scheme="tel" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
and for calling to any Number use Intent.ACTION_DIAL as :
Uri numberuri = Uri.parse("tel:" + edit_text_number);
Intent intent_call = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, numberuri);
startActivity(intent_call);
Surprisingly, I found I need to add action VIEW to my manifest for my dialer to appear in App Chooser. Still looking for an explanation for that.
So this is what worked:
<!-- language: lang-XML -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL"/>
<data android:scheme="tel"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
And when I added to the intent-filter
<!-- language: lang-XML -->
<data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
my dialer did not appear in the App Chooser
You need a Main Activity for the Broadcast Receiver to be registered.
DO NOT use an activitythat intercepts CALL_PRIVILEGED Intent calls. Doing that will interfere with EMS calls. You were on the right track with your example.
I am new for implicit intent part of android.
In my application I have registered the intent like below:
<activity
android:name="ihpc.mocha.fakertt.view.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="reverseLandscape" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<data
android:host="mocha"
android:path="/RTT/reset"
android:scheme="content" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="ihpc.mocha.fakertt.view.SessionTimeOutActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="reverseLandscape" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:host="mocha"
android:path="/RTT/sessionTimeOut"
android:scheme="content" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Now I want to trigger these intent from some test application but I do not know how to achieve that? I tried googling the same but could not find appropriate solution.Please suggest the way to do it.
your intent filter will catch all the intent with the "android.intent.action.VIEW" key. so if any application send an intent with this your application will receive. To test from another test application try this
intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
// if needed put some extra data
startActivity(intent);
I am designing a custom calling screen to show information, such as the caller's address book info, on screen during the phone conversation.
My app will begin when the user presses the call button by use of an Intent Filter, after which I will fetch other information from the address book and add it to the screen.
My problem is that when the call button is pressed, my activity is not launching. Is my intent filter right? Is it even possible to intercept the phone call Intent? Please share your knowledge on handling call event.
My Intent Filter is shown below.
<activity android:name=".MyCallingScreen">
<intent-filter android:priority="100">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_BUTTON" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="tel" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
In your case try to change your code following way:
<intent-filter android:priority="100">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_BUTTON" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
It's work for me if press on a call button.
Try to use following code to intercept the call:
<activity>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
For HTC some changes there:
<activity>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/phone" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/phone_v2" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/person" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Intent with action android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED is called when you making a call from phonebook by following way: Phone Book->Contact->Phone number Long Click -> Choose make call from dropdown menu.
I'm not sure if it's possible to replace the call screen but it is relatively simple to intercept any outgoing call. You declare in your manifest a receiver:
<receiver android:name="com.mystuff.CallInterceptor" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
and you make a Java class for this interceptor:
public class CallInterceptor extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (!intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL"))
{
return;
}
String phoneNumber = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
//do stuff using the number
//assuming you do nothing too bad the call will happen and the regular
//call screen comes up - but you can bring up another activity on top of it
//for example shwing address info
}
}
I'm currently working on an android application. I have to log any new installed app name whenever the user is installing/downloading a new third party app. How can I get the notification if the user is installing a new app. Thanks in advance.
Java File
public class ApplicationBroadcastService extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
System.out.print("-------");
}
}
Manifest
<receiver android:name=".applicationlog.ApplicationBroadcastService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_CHANGED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_INSTALL" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
But still I do not enter the onReceive method, when I am installing/uninstalling any app.
Here is the solution:
I did a small change in my Manifest file.
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_CHANGED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_INSTALL" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED" />
<data android:scheme="package" />
</intent-filter>
Now it's working fine.. :)
Thanks again #willytate
Ajay,
You will need to setup a BroadcastReceiver with an intent filter to receive the following Action: ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED then from the onReceive() method of the BroadcastReceiver you can launch a Notification.
Take a look at the intent documentation. You are looking for ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL (which seems to be never used, see comments) and ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED.
You can listen for the android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED intent.
I am trying to register my Activity so that it can be used by the Activity chooser/picker allowing a user to choose whether or not to select my application/Activity to complete what they are trying to do.
I want to provide the option for the user to be able to select my application when they want to send an SMS message and when they want to place an outgoing call, to try to achieve this I added the following pieces of code within my Activity tags in my manifest:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
However the Activity chooser never appears and the native apps are used without providing a choice to the user. Can anyone see where I am going wrong?
EDIT:
I have figured out I need to add
<data android:scheme="sms" />
<data android:scheme="smsto" />
for the SMS message but what do I use for the outgoing call?
EDIT 2:
I have tried the following for the outgoing call:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="tel" />
</intent-filter>
But again with no luck, has this been blocked from 1.6 on?
Edit 3:
This is what happens when I click Text Mobile:
So i want the same thing when I click Call mobile
I think it should help you
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="tel" />
</intent-filter>
Tested on Android 2.1
This is because activities and services can not pickup outside intents on their own. You need to use a BroadcastReceiver. To implement this, do the following:
Extend Android's BroadcastReceiver class like so:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
if ( intent.getAction().equals(Intent.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL) ) {
sendIntent.setClass(context, MyActivity.class);
context.startActivity(sendIntent);
}
else if ( intent.getAction().equals(Intent.SOME_OTHER_INTENT) {
sendIntent.setClass(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(sendIntent);
}
// More else ifs for more intents you want to catch.
}
}
Then you need to declare the receiver in your manifest like this:
<receiver android:name="MyReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
// more intents you want to catch here
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Only intents declared in the manifest will be caught by your Receiver, so if you want to catch several intents thrown by the system or other programs and want to do the exact same thing when their intents are caught then specify those intents here in the manifest and skip the if/else blocks in the onReceive method.
this worked for me
<activity
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:name=".TestIntentActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
<data android:scheme="tel" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
You need to add a priority to the intent filter so that Android takes it into account. For example:
<activity android:name="YourActivity">
<intent-filter android:priority="100">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
