I am in situation where I need to identify incoming call phone number in Android but when using TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER android studio warning EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER is deprecated.I gone through the developers.android.com, it shows apps performing call screening should use the CallScreeningService API instead. But I can't figure out how to use CallScreeningService to get incoming call phone number. Anyone can help me?
As @Saurabh said, the new way to screen calls is through the CallScreeningService
. However, for the service to work on Android Q and up, the user needs to set your app as the default caller ID & spam app (which is done by using the new RoleManager
class)
Register your screening service:
<service android:name="com.example.ScreeningService"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_SCREENING_SERVICE">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.telecom.CallScreeningService"/>
</intent-filter>
</service>
Create you service class:
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
class ScreeningService : CallScreeningService() {
override fun onScreenCall(details: Details) {
//code here
}
}
Request the screening role from the user in your main activity (or where ever you see as fit):
@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.Q)
private fun requestScreeningRole(){
val roleManager = getSystemService(Context.ROLE_SERVICE) as RoleManager
val isHeld = roleManager.isRoleHeld(RoleManager.ROLE_CALL_SCREENING)
if(!isHeld){
//ask the user to set your app as the default screening app
val intent = roleManager.createRequestRoleIntent(RoleManager.ROLE_CALL_SCREENING)
startActivityForResult(intent, 123)
} else {
//you are already the default screening app!
}
}
Catch the user's response:
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
when (requestCode) {
123 -> {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
//The user set you as the default screening app!
} else {
//the user didn't set you as the default screening app...
}
}
else -> {}
}
}
Apologies for using a hard coded request code >.<
