Question

I have an app, where some calls can be made when you press a button.
I call a number with:

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);

callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+o.getTel()));
startActivity(callIntent);  

I have a broadcast receiver that detects end of call.
But this broadcast receiver also receives calls started from other apps (e.g. dialer app).

How can i differentiate calls started from other apps from calls started in mine?

Tnx

Answer 1

Before you call sendBroadcast(intent), add an extra to the intent,

e.g i.putExtra(“sender”, “my identifier”)

Then in the onReceive of the receiver

String encodedType = intent.getStringExtra(“sender”);

Then you can test for this string.
