Question

i try catch a call from standard dialpad using that code:

        <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL" />
        <data android:scheme="tel" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
   </intent-filter>


</activity>

Everything fine, when user dial from standard phone dialpad, my app opened.
But i don’t find solution, how i can get a phone number, which user was dialed. That code inside PhonePadActivity activity onCreate block:

Intent intent = getIntent();

String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
Toast.makeText(this, "Call was made to-->>" + number, 5000).show();

gives me a null finally 🙁

tried to using brodacast receiver:

in manifest:

    <receiver
        android:exported="true"
        android:name="com.myapps.android.DialBroadcastReceiver" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />

this is class DialBroadcastReceiver:

package com.myapps.android;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

public class DialBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    private static final String THIS_FILE = "PhonePadActivity";

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.e(THIS_FILE,"In onReceive()");

        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL)) {
             String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);

             Log.e(THIS_FILE,"Number is: "+number);

        }
    }

}

but logs nod fired, when user press dial

Answer 1

You are getting the number with incorrect code. Replace:

Intent intent = getIntent();

String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
Toast.makeText(this, "Call was made to-->>" + number, 5000).show();

With:

Uri data = getIntent().getData(); 
if (data != null && ("tel".equals(data.getScheme()))) { 
    String number = PhoneNumberUtils.getNumberFromIntent(getIntent(), this); 
    if (number != null) { 
      Toast.makeText(this, "Call was made to-->>" + number, 5000).show();
    } 
}
