I managed to prepare an activity when the phone is ringing. Now I need to know how to cancel this activity, when I answer the phone or I reject the call.Do I call EXTRA_STATE_IDLE or EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK ?

Any ideas?

Manifest

    <receiver android:name=".IncomingBroadcastReceiver">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

IncomingBroadcastReceiver java Class

public class IncomingBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
        // If an incoming call arrives
        if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) { //Did my work }

    in your onReceive:

    PhoneStateChangeListener pscl = new PhoneStateChangeListener();
    TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    tm.listen(pscl, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
    

    separate class:

    private class PhoneStateChangeListener extends PhoneStateListener {
        public static boolean wasRinging;
        String LOG_TAG = "PhoneListener";
        @Override
        public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
            switch(state){
                case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
                     Log.i(LOG_TAG, "RINGING");
                     wasRinging = true;
                     break;
                case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
                     Log.i(LOG_TAG, "OFFHOOK");
    
                     if (!wasRinging) {
                         // Start your new activity
                     } else {
                         // Cancel your old activity
                     }
    
                     // this should be the last piece of code before the break
                     wasRinging = true;
                     break;
                case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
                     Log.i(LOG_TAG, "IDLE");
                     // this should be the last piece of code before the break
                     wasRinging = false;
                     break;
            }
        }
    }
    

    All you need to do is write some code to check if the previous state was ‘ringing’.
    If the current state is idle and the previous state was ringing, they cancelled the call.
    If the current state is offhook and the previous state was ringing, they answered the call.
