Do not get the correct value when getting the current outgoing phone number in android

Question

I am using the following broadcast receiver to retrieve the outgoing phone number.

@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { mContext = context; mIntent = intent; TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); int events = PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE; tm.listen(phoneStateListener, events); } private final PhoneStateListener phoneStateListener = new PhoneStateListener() { @Override public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) { switch (state) { case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE: break; case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK: dialingNumber = mIntent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER); Toast.makeText(mContext, "Local Call Number- " + dialingNumber,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; } return; } Log.i(">>>Broadcast", "onCallStateChanged " + callState); super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber); } }; 

Sometimes it returns null or the number that I called before. Is there any other way to get the incoming / outgoing call number of the current call?

Answer 1

for outgoing calls, use this:

manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" /> <receiver android:name=".MyPhoneReceiver" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> 

the code:

 ... @Override public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) { Log.d("APP", "ACTION:" + intent.getAction()); if (Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL.equals(intent.getAction())) { final String originalNumber = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER); Log.d("APP", "outgoing,ringing:" + originalNumber); } ... 

for incoming calls, use this:

manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" /> <receiver android:name=".MyPhoneReceiver" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> 

the code:

 @Override public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) { Log.d("APP", "ACTION:" + intent.getAction()); final String stringExtra = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE); if (TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING.equals(stringExtra)) { final String incomingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER); Log.d("APP", "incoming,ringing:" + incomingNumber); } else if (stringExtra.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)) { final String incomingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER); Log.d("APP", "hanged" + incomingNumber ); } else if (stringExtra.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK)) { final String incomingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER); Log.d("APP", "answered" + incomingNumber ); } }
