Programmatically obtain the phone number of the Android phone

Question

How can I programmatically get the phone number of the device that is running my android app?

Answer 1

There is a new Android api that allows the user to select their phonenumber without the need for a permission. Take a look at: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/10/effective-phone-number-verification.html

// Construct a request for phone numbers and show the picker
private void requestHint() {
    HintRequest hintRequest = new HintRequest.Builder()
       .setPhoneNumberIdentifierSupported(true)
       .build();

    PendingIntent intent = Auth.CredentialsApi.getHintPickerIntent(
        apiClient, hintRequest);
    startIntentSenderForResult(intent.getIntentSender(),
        RESOLVE_HINT, null, 0, 0, 0);
}
