I'm working on an app that should have the ability to disable incoming calls for a user-specified period of time. It should work much the way a "DND" (do not disturb) button works on an office phone.
I've looked over the SDK, and I can't find any way to send phone calls to voicemail without putting the phone in airplane mode. That would be OK if I could re-enable Bluetooth. I'd like the user to be able to listen to music via a Bluetooth headset while phone calls are blocked. In summary, any of the following would work I could do them from my app: 1) Programmatically send all calls to voicemail (like a "DND" button) - this would be ideal since it would still be in the call log at the end of the "do not disturb" time. 2) Intercept the incoming call in my app and bounce it 3) Disable all radios but Bluetooth (Wi-Fi would be OK too.) 4) Prevent the built-in phone call app from displaying its incoming call screen (I can disable the ringer and vibration) even though the call is received Is any of these possible? Or maybe another approach I haven't thought of? Just a side note: For Android phones to be the best possible productivity tool, it should be possible to use a device for email/ Internet/apps without receiving constant interruptions from calls. Humans have a significant context-switch time. Thanks, Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
