getting the call logs of incoming and outgoing calls in android programmatically

Question

I am making an app in which I want to get the call logs of all incoming, outgoing and missed calls. How can I do that?

Answer 1

All the answers here are using managedQuery which is now deprecated. It should be replaced with getContext().getContentResolver().query() method instead, as mentioned here and demonstrated here.

Here is a short sample code, based on those examples:

String[] projection = new String[] {
                CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME,
                CallLog.Calls.NUMBER,
                CallLog.Calls.TYPE,
                CallLog.Calls.DATE
        };
// String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";

 Cursor cursor =  mContext.getContentResolver().query(CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, null);
 while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
    String name = cursor.getString(0);
    String number = cursor.getString(1);
    String type = cursor.getString(2); // https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/CallLog.Calls.html#TYPE
    String time = cursor.getString(3); // epoch time - https://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/DateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String
    }
cursor.close();
