To go back to original app you can use telprompt:// instead of tel:// – The tell prompt will prompt the user first, but when the call is finished it will go back to your app: NSString *phoneNumber = [@”telprompt://” stringByAppendingString:mymobileNO.titleLabel.text]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:phoneNumber]];
Just try: if let url = NSURL(string: “tel://\(busPhone)”) where UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url) { UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url) } assuming that the phone number is in busPhone. NSURL‘s init(string:) returns an Optional, so by using if let we make sure that url is a NSURL (and not a NSURL? as returned by the init). For Swift 3: if let url = … Read more
This documentation from Apple should be helpful: To prevent users from maliciously redirecting phone calls or changing the behavior of a phone or account, the Phone application supports most, but not all, of the special characters in the tel scheme. Specifically, if a URL contains the * or # characters, the Phone application does not … Read more
You do not need to be a system app. First, create package com.android.internal.telephony in your project, and put this in a file called “ITelephony.aidl“: package com.android.internal.telephony; interface ITelephony { boolean endCall(); void answerRingingCall(); void silenceRinger(); } Once you have that, you can use this code to end a call: TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); Class clazz … Read more
Sorry but right now it really can’t be done.. On iOS 5 there isn’t any access to call_history.db -> Which is exactly what you were looking for. The app mentioned here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/callog/id327883585?mt=8 Does not work with iOS 5 (don’t download but check the users’ reviews..) On iOS 4, you might still be able to get … Read more
Create a simple Android application (our dialer). To actually call someone, you just need that method: private void performDial(String numberString) { if (!numberString.equals(“”)) { Uri number = Uri.parse(“tel:” + numberString); Intent dial = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, number); startActivity(dial); } } Give your application permission to call in AndroidManifest <uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.CALL_PHONE” /> Set in AndroidManifest intention that … Read more
Update with Android 8.0 Oreo Even though the question was originally asked for Android L support, people still seem to be hitting this question and answer, so it is worth describing the improvements introduced in Android 8.0 Oreo. The backward compatible methods are still described below. What changed? Starting with Android 8.0 Oreo, the PHONE … Read more
OMG!!! YES, WE CAN DO THAT!!! I was going to kill myself after severe 24 hours of investigating and discovering… But I’ve found “fresh” solution! // “cheat” with Java reflection to gain access to TelephonyManager’s // ITelephony getter Class c = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName()); Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod(“getITelephony”); m.setAccessible(true); telephonyService = (ITelephony)m.invoke(tm); all all all of hundreds … Read more
You can use Intent.ACTION_DIAL instead of Intent.ACTION_CALL. This shows the dialer with the number already entered, but allows the user to decide whether to actually make the call or not. ACTION_DIAL does not require the CALL_PHONE permission.
use a PhoneStateListener to see when the call is ended. you will most likely need to trigger the listener actions to wait for a the call to start (wait until changed from PHONE_STATE_OFFHOOK to PHONE_STATE_IDLE again) and then write some code to bring your app back up on the IDLE state. you may need to … Read more
