How to check if an Android device has voice capabilities

Question

Does anyone know a good way of programmaticaly checking if an Android device, phone or tablet, has voice capabilities? By voice capabilities I mean capability to make phone call

Answer 1

I haven't tried this myself, but it looks like the details you need would be in the TelephonyManager:

private boolean hasPhoneAbility()
{
   TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
   if(telephonyManager.getPhoneType() == TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_NONE)
       return false;

   return true;
}
