[SOLVED] End call in android programmatically

End call in android programmatically

I see a lot of questions that it's impossible to end call programmatically in Android. At the same time, I see a lot of dialer apps in googleplay market where you can activate the call and drop it also. How do they work?

Edit: I've read somewhere that my app has to be system app. Then how to make it system, and what is the difference between system and user apps?

Solution

You do not need to be a system app. First, create package com.android.internal.telephony in your project, and put this in a file called "ITelephony.aidl":

package com.android.internal.telephony; 

interface ITelephony {      

boolean endCall();     

void answerRingingCall();      

void silenceRinger(); 

}

Once you have that, you can use this code to end a call:

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Class clazz = Class.forName(telephonyManager.getClass().getName());
Method method = clazz.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
method.setAccessible(true);
ITelephony telephonyService = (ITelephony) method.invoke(telephonyManager);
telephonyService.endCall();

You could use this inside a PhoneStateListener, for example. For this to work, you require permissions in manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Edit: Apologies for horrible formatting, I still can't figure out how to properly do code blocks here :/
