The general idea is to create an app like incoming call log. So I have to
create a new register in my database when a new call is answered or lost.

To do that, I implement a BroadcastReceiver that reacts when the phone state
changes. In the onReceive method, I get the TelephonyManager and through
this I can get the call state (getCallSate method).

The problem here is that I can not know the previous state, so I can not
know if an incoming call was answered or not, while if I could get the
previous state, I would know it with the states transition.

Maybe I could get the information that I need through the Intent (that I get
in onReceive method) or through the TelephonyManager, but I do not know if
it is possible.

Any suggestion to do something like that?

Thanks.
