I want to know whether I am in a call.
If I am in a call then start the service (service part is clear). How do I do this?
While attending the call I need to call the service... I am unaware of how to do this? Any help?
You need broadcast receiver ...
In manifest declare broadcast receiver ...
<receiver android:name=".PhoneStateBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Also declare uses-permission ...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
The broadcast receiver class ...
package x.y;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
public class PhoneStateBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
telephonyManager.listen(new CustomPhoneStateListener(context), PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
}
}
And one class to customize phone state listener...
package x.y;
import android.content.Context;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
public class CustomPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener {
//private static final String TAG = "PhoneStateChanged";
Context context; //Context to make Toast if required
public CustomPhoneStateListener(Context context) {
super();
this.context = context;
}
@Override
public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);
switch (state) {
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
//when Idle i.e no call
Toast.makeText(context, "Phone state Idle", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
//when Off hook i.e in call
//Make intent and start your service here
Toast.makeText(context, "Phone state Off hook", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
//when Ringing
Toast.makeText(context, "Phone state Ringing", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
