Windows Phone 7 Call History - Mango API

Can I get the current call history with the call number and DateTime data from the phone using the Mango API? I think this is not possible with the current one.

There is no API to get call history. This is mainly due to privacy issues and protecting the user from unfair applications that behave badly on the device.

You will notice that among the APIs there is a collection of Launcher and Choosers. One of them is the PhoneNumberChooser Task. This particular task launches the Contacts application and allows you to physically select the contact number to dial from the application. You will notice that this requires manual user interaction. Many APIs to retrieve data require manual selection from the user, again to protect the user from applications that do bad things. For example, trolling your contact list in the background and sending this data to a web service without the user's knowledge.

Particular attention was paid to the API to protect the user from these types of scripts.

If you have feedback on the need to use the API to select Call History Chooser, send your feedback to http://wpdev.uservoice.com .

If the Marketplace displays applications for behavior, and if applications need to announce what they are doing, and if users have to choose so that the application can access this information, it would be wise to provide application developers and, more importantly, users the opportunity to solve this. And if there is still fear in this, then the OS may pop up the user's response screen to enable or disable the action when the application asks to do so. There are many applications that can benefit from knowing this information to save the user from having to enter information from the current call when it would be easy for them to allow the application to receive data.
