Can I hang up a call programmatically in android?

Question

I hope to block some crank call, so I need to hang up some call programmatically in android.

The following fragment is from How to hang up outgoing call in Android?<

Answer 1

Does it mean the technique of hang up call will be block at any time in further Android version?

There's a possibility that Android Team would turn everything upside down for this concrete service. As for me, I think such possibility is pretty negligible.

Does it mean I can't write an app to hang up a call?

If the proposed approach works, why not? Just do it, keeping in mind (somewhere in background of your mind, yeah :)) that somewhere in the distant future something could get complicated, and you'll have to look for another dirty hack breaking through the rustless API, which does not allow you to hang a call.

Answer 2

If you are in JUnit test then this is how;

mInstrumentation = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation();
mInstrumentation.getUiAutomation().executeShellCommand( "input keyevent " + KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENDCALL );

It may work also from outside the test but I haven't tried it.

Answer 3

This is completely without testing but couldn't you just turn airplane mode off and on when a call that matches your blacklist appears?

Other than that, this seemed to work in pre kitkat http://androidsourcecode.blogspot.in/2010/10/blocking-incoming-call-android.html

Answer 4

First, you need to declare this permission in AndroidManifest.xml

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

Then you setup a BroadcastReceiver service for android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE (incoming calls) and android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL (outgoing calls) by adding the following to AndroidManifest.xml

AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:name=".PhoneStateReceiver">
    <intent-filter android:priority="0">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

PhoneStateReceiver.JAVA

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;

public class PhoneStateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    public static String TAG="PhoneStateReceiver";
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE")) { 
            String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
            Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver**Call State=" + state);

            if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)) {
                Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver**Idle");
            } else if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) { 
                // Incoming call
                String incomingNumber = 
                        intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
                Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver**Incoming call " + incomingNumber);

                if (!killCall(context)) { // Using the method defined earlier
                    Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver **Unable to kill incoming call");
                }

            } else if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK)) {
                Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver **Offhook");
            }
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL")) { 
            // Outgoing call
            String outgoingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
            Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver **Outgoing call " + outgoingNumber);

            setResultData(null); // Kills the outgoing call

        } else {
            Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver **unexpected intent.action=" + intent.getAction());
        }
    }

    public boolean killCall(Context context) {
        try {
            // Get the boring old TelephonyManager
            TelephonyManager telephonyManager =
                    (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

            // Get the getITelephony() method
            Class classTelephony = Class.forName(telephonyManager.getClass().getName());
            Method methodGetITelephony = classTelephony.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");

            // Ignore that the method is supposed to be private
            methodGetITelephony.setAccessible(true);

            // Invoke getITelephony() to get the ITelephony interface
            Object telephonyInterface = methodGetITelephony.invoke(telephonyManager);

            // Get the endCall method from ITelephony
            Class telephonyInterfaceClass =  
                    Class.forName(telephonyInterface.getClass().getName());
            Method methodEndCall = telephonyInterfaceClass.getDeclaredMethod("endCall");

            // Invoke endCall()
            methodEndCall.invoke(telephonyInterface);

        } catch (Exception ex) { // Many things can go wrong with reflection calls
            Log.d(TAG,"PhoneStateReceiver **" + ex.toString());
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
