How to get the mobile number of my device programmatically?


I have tried using 2 methods for retrieving my phone number but both of them don't work. I used:

  1. TelephonyManager
  2. SubscriptionManager

I do get Network name, Country iso, and IMEI but whenever I try to return Number it returns nothing.

I have also added all the required permissions for these! My manifest looks like:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />

Code using TelephonyManager:

TelephonyManager phoneMgr = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
phoneMgr.getLine1Number()

Code using SubscriptionManager:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        List<SubscriptionInfo> subscription = SubscriptionManager.from(getApplicationContext()).getActiveSubscriptionInfoList();
        for (int i = 0; i < subscription.size(); i++) {
            SubscriptionInfo info = subscription.get(i);
            Log.e("TAG", "number " + info.getNumber());
            Log.e("TAG", "network name : " + info.getCarrierName());
            Log.e("TAG", "country iso " + info.getCountryIso());
        }
    }

In both attempts I get nothing!

Is there any other way to get phone number or I'm doing something wrong?


Solution

  • Nowadays the TelephonyManager does not help us. Play Services API without permission is good solution for this.

    This dependency is useful for this

     implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1'
    

    Now inside your Activity.java:

    GoogleApiClient  mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                    .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                    .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                    .addApi(Auth.CREDENTIALS_API)
                    .build();
    
            if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
                mGoogleApiClient.connect();
            }
    

    After this do request for Phone Number:

     HintRequest hintRequest = new HintRequest.Builder()
                    .setPhoneNumberIdentifierSupported(true)
                    .build();
    
            PendingIntent intent = Auth.CredentialsApi.getHintPickerIntent(mGoogleApiClient, hintRequest);
            try {
                startIntentSenderForResult(intent.getIntentSender(), 1008, null, 0, 0, 0, null);
            } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                Log.e("", "Could not start hint picker Intent", e);
            }
    

    Now you need to handle response in your onActivityResult like this:

        @Override
        public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    
            switch (requestCode) {
                case 1008:
                    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                        Credential cred = data.getParcelableExtra(Credential.EXTRA_KEY);
    //                    cred.getId====: ====+919*******
                        Log.e("cred.getId", cred.getId());
                        userMob = cred.getId();
    
    
                    } else {
                        // Sim Card not found!
                        Log.e("cred.getId", "1008 else");
    
                        return;
                    }
    
    
                    break;
            }
        }
