Is it possible to get incoming call data to application in Android

Question

Hi All,

I would like to know if we can get Incoming call data to the application in Android.

I will be using this incoming call data to record the call or for the purpose of call streaming from my application.

I read Audio manager and Telephony manager class provided by Android , but I could get an API which can give the data of incoming call.

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards Pavan

Answer 1

Not possible for regular calls (GSM, CDMA, etc.). For VoIP calls technically it is possible, provided that you have access to the stack.

Answer 2

Set the Audio Source of Mediarecorder object to Voice Call.

final MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_CALL);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(path);
