  1. POHiding default incoming call screen doesn't work all the time
    text
    copied!<p>I am working on application that receives incoming calls and automatically answers them. I have an activity that runs while a worker thread automatically answers the calls. What I would like to accomplish is to suppress the default incoming call screen and keep my activity in the foreground while it is running. </p> <p>After some research here, I have figured this can be accomplished by using a <strong>BroadcastReceiver</strong> and calling <strong>BroadcastReceiver.abortBroadcast()</strong> while setting <strong>android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE</strong> broadcast to the highest priority in my manifest. </p> <p>Unfortunately, this only works %50 of the time. Half the time I am able to answer the call and my activity remains in the foreground and half the time, that is not the case. How can I get this to work every time?</p> <p>Here is my manifest:</p> <pre><code> &lt;receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".IncomingCallBroadcastReceiver"&gt; &lt;intent-filter android:priority="9999"&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is my BroadcastReceiver: </p> <pre><code>public class IncomingCallBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(final Context arg0, Intent arg1) { Bundle extras = arg1.getExtras(); if (extras != null) { String state = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE); if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) { // set a flag for worker thread to answer call } } try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } abortBroadcast(); } } </code></pre>
