Hello,

I'm having issue trying to handle a phone call. I'm trying with an intentReceiver but it doesn't seem to work... Since I don't know how to make a incoming phone call on the emulator, I tried to handle others actions such as TIME_TICK but I doesn't seem to work either...

First, what I've done :
AndroidManifest.xml :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="org.bibi">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon">
        <activity class=".App" android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>   
                <action android:value="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            </intent-filter>
            <receiver class=".OutGoingCallReceiver">
               <intent-filter>
                   <action android:value="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
                   <action android:value="android.intent.action.TIME_TICK" />
               </intent-filter>
           </receiver>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

My IntentReceiver :

Code: Select all

public class OutGoingCallReceiver extends IntentReceiver {

   @Override
   public void onReceiveIntent(Context context, Intent intent) {
      NotificationManager nm = NotificationManager.from(context);
      nm.notifyWithText(12555,"Action : " +  intent.getAction(),NotificationManager.LENGTH_LONG,null);
      Log.w(App.class.toString(),"Action : " + intent.getAction());
   }
   
   public OutGoingCallReceiver(){}

}

But when the "time ticks" (minute changes) nothing happens.


So I have several questions :

1. Does the emulator broadcast all action like it should or is it limited?
2. Is my code OK?


Thanks

Hello bibiodp,

Simulating an incoming call with the emulator works as the following:

I'll transform this into a real tutorial this evening (@ GMT +1 ) as I am not home right now (university).

1. The emulator has to be running
2. Open the Ttelnet-Client of your choice (on xp is should already be installed, on probably have to install it later on)
3. type to it: "o localhost 5554" // dunno exactly which port, could also be 5555... have a try.
   I. "o" stands for "Open", "localhost" is the 'IP' and "5554" is the port the telnet-server is listening to.
4. Connection should establish in a few seconds.
5. type: "gsm call 123456" to simulate an incoming call.
6. See the emulator ringing

I'll have a look at the Intent-Receiving issue, when I'm back home, as the lunch-break is passing by now

First thanks for replying so fast

I opened an msdos console and launched "telnet" (winXP telnet Client isn't easy to use and I love command line )

So I typed your commands and it works!! I see the incoming call on the emulator.

But I my intentReceiver is still not called...
So I tried this in my main activity:


With this line my intentReceiver is called (I see the popup and the log).
Maybe that the OS is not using that kind of broadcast? I'm a bit lost a this point

Hello bidibop,

the bug was so close that we couldn't see it ^^. Your are listening to the wrong Intent.
See their Javadoc:

public static final String CALL_ACTION
Activity Action: Perform a call to someone specified by the data.

public static final String DIAL_ACTION
Activity Action: Dial a number as specified by the data.

Both are "active" Intents, when you want to do sth.

I solved the problem of being identified of a new call in another way, I will turn into an Tutorial right now

Pleas, be patient for some minutes. I'll inform you here.

Oki thx! So I think you mean that those actions are "user dependant" and what we're looking for here are some kind of "system dependant" actions.

I'll wait for the tut, refreshing the page...

thx again

Hey bibiodp,

Sorry, I forgot to post the link to the tutorial here
:src: Here it is

Hope you were not still refreshing
