How to read voice messages programmatically in Android

Question

Just ask yourself, is it possible to access the answering machine using code?

I saw in Android 4.0, Google introduced a new content provider called " android.provider.VoicemailContract.Voicemails ", but I want to do this on older versions of Android? Is it possible at all?

Answer 1

No, because each manufacturer of a network / telephone handles voicemail differently. In many cases, there will be no applications on the phone that are aware of individual voice messages. The best thing you can do is create a PhoneStateListener to listen to LISTEN_MESSAGE_WAITING_INDICATOR , which allows you to read the indicator of the waiting message indicator sent by the network operator (answers the question "Are there any new voice messages?").
