How to detect incoming call with the help of Broadcast Receiver?

Question

I\'m trying to recognize incoming calls in thru a broadcast receiver. I\'m UNABLE to do so! Infact, I\'m unable to \'trigger\' the broadcast!

Here\'s my code:

Answer 1

intent.getAction()=="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"

should be

TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED.equals(intent.getAction());

Since this is how you compare Strings (with equals()).

Also, the code you use to broadcast, should never broadcast - there is no ".BroadcastMM" action. Try making an explicit one instead:

 Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(),BroadcastMM.class);  
 sendBroadcast(intent);

It is also likely that you can't broadcast android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE, so your if won't be executed if you make an explicit Intent.

If you really want to check that your BroadcastReceiver is working, put printouts/Toasts outside all ifs. Then once you establish that the BroadcastReceiver responds, do your check. Keep in mind though, that since you only listen for one Intent-Filter, the if checking if the Intent is a PHONE_STATE Intent is a bit redundant.
