Hi there, My app needs to catch missed calls. Currently the TelephonyManager API doesn't report missed calls(*), so I resorted to listen to call log changes.
Problem is that even though my app was running and registered a content observer, what guarantees do I have that if my app gets killed that observer will be called (say Android decides to free up some memory by killing it)? I also tried to listen to TelephonyManager's phone-state-changed intent, but from my experiments when a call ends and my phone state receiver is called with "call idle" state, the call log still doesn't hold the new call so I can't query it just then. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Tal (*) For those of you who will rightfully say that the way to detect a missed call is if there's a "call ringing" event and then a "call idle" event but no "call off-hook" event in the middle, I'll have to point out that if you are already _in_ a call and there's a call waiting, you don't get another "call off-hook" event if the user answered the call waiting. So basically on call waiting or conference calls scenarios you can't tell which calls were answered and which were missed... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
