Android Question Answer a call and send a SMS

[Vinians2006]

I want to know if is possible to answer a call, get the number, close the call and send a SMS to the caller ?

If it is a non-Google Play app then you can intercept incoming calls and send a SMS message. Answering phone calls is more difficult.

Thank you Erel. This app is for myself.

Check PhoneEvents and PhoneSMS. Note that for PhoneEvents to work in the background, you need a foreground service.

Better to create a static intent filter.

Did you have an example I can check ? I never used foreground services.....

See this tutorial about static intent filters: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/20103/#content

The action should be: android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE

You also need to add this permission:

AddPermission(android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)

And request it at runtime.
