Call

AVAILABLE_PHONE_ACCOUNTS

public static final String AVAILABLE_PHONE_ACCOUNTS

This constant was deprecated in API level 29.
Use the list from EXTRA_SUGGESTED_PHONE_ACCOUNTS instead.

The key to retrieve the optional PhoneAccounts Telecom can bundle with its Call extras. Used to pass the phone accounts to display on the front end to the user in order to select phone accounts to (for example) place a call.

Constant Value: "selectPhoneAccountAccounts"

EVENT_CLEAR_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

public static final String EVENT_CLEAR_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

Event reported from the telecom framework when a diagnostic message previously raised with EVENT_DISPLAY_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE has cleared and is no longer pertinent.

The EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE_ID indicates the diagnostic message which has been cleared.

The dialer app receives this event via Call.Callback.onConnectionEvent(Call, String, Bundle).

Constant Value: "android.telecom.event.CLEAR_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE"

EVENT_DISPLAY_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

public static final String EVENT_DISPLAY_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

Event reported from the Telecom stack to report an in-call diagnostic message which the dialer app may opt to display to the user. A diagnostic message is used to communicate scenarios the device has detected which may impact the quality of the ongoing call.

For example a problem with a bluetooth headset may generate a recommendation for the user to try using the speakerphone instead, or if the device detects it has entered a poor service area, the user might be warned so that they can finish their call prior to it dropping.

A diagnostic message is considered persistent in nature. When the user enters a poor service area, for example, the accompanying diagnostic message persists until they leave the area of poor service. Each message is accompanied with a EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE_ID which uniquely identifies the diagnostic condition being reported. The framework raises a call event of type EVENT_CLEAR_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE when the condition reported has been cleared. The dialer app should display the diagnostic message until it is cleared. If multiple diagnostic messages are sent with different IDs (which have not yet been cleared) the dialer app should prioritize the most recently received message, but still provide the user with a means to review past messages.

The text of the message is found in EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE in the form of a human readable CharSequence which is intended for display in the call UX.

The telecom framework audibly notifies the user of the presence of a diagnostic message, so the dialer app needs only to concern itself with visually displaying the message.

The dialer app receives this event via Call.Callback.onConnectionEvent(Call, String, Bundle).

Constant Value: "android.telecom.event.DISPLAY_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE"

EXTRA_ASSERTED_DISPLAY_NAME

public static final String EXTRA_ASSERTED_DISPLAY_NAME

String value indicating the asserted display name reported via ImsCallProfile#EXTRA_ASSERTED_DISPLAY_NAME. Connection.setExtras(Bundle) or Connection.putExtras(Bundle) should be used to notify Telecom this extra has been set.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.ASSERTED_DISPLAY_NAME"

EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

public static final String EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

CharSequence extra used with EVENT_DISPLAY_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE. This is the diagnostic message the dialer app should display.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE"

EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE_ID

public static final String EXTRA_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE_ID

Integer extra representing a message ID for a message posted via EVENT_DISPLAY_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE. Used to ensure that the dialer app knows when the message in question has cleared via EVENT_CLEAR_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE_ID"

EXTRA_IS_BUSINESS_CALL

public static final String EXTRA_IS_BUSINESS_CALL

Boolean indicating that the call is a verified business call. Connection.setExtras(Bundle) or Connection.putExtras(Bundle) should be used to notify Telecom this extra has been set.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.IS_BUSINESS_CALL"

EXTRA_IS_SUPPRESSED_BY_DO_NOT_DISTURB

public static final String EXTRA_IS_SUPPRESSED_BY_DO_NOT_DISTURB

Extra key intended for InCallServices that notify the user of an incoming call. When EXTRA_IS_SUPPRESSED_BY_DO_NOT_DISTURB returns true, the InCallService should not interrupt the user of the incoming call because the call is being suppressed by Do Not Disturb settings. This extra will be removed from the Call object for InCallServices that do not hold the Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS permission.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.IS_SUPPRESSED_BY_DO_NOT_DISTURB"

EXTRA_LAST_EMERGENCY_CALLBACK_TIME_MILLIS

public static final String EXTRA_LAST_EMERGENCY_CALLBACK_TIME_MILLIS

Extra key used to indicate the time (in milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC) when the last outgoing emergency call was made. This is used to identify potential emergency callbacks.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.LAST_EMERGENCY_CALLBACK_TIME_MILLIS"

EXTRA_SILENT_RINGING_REQUESTED

public static final String EXTRA_SILENT_RINGING_REQUESTED

Extra key used to indicate whether a CallScreeningService has requested to silence the ringtone for a call. If the InCallService declares TelecomManager.METADATA_IN_CALL_SERVICE_RINGING in its manifest, it should not play a ringtone for an incoming call with this extra key set.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.SILENT_RINGING_REQUESTED"

EXTRA_SUGGESTED_PHONE_ACCOUNTS

public static final String EXTRA_SUGGESTED_PHONE_ACCOUNTS

Key for extra used to pass along a list of PhoneAccountSuggestions to the in-call UI when a call enters the STATE_SELECT_PHONE_ACCOUNT state. The list included here will have the same length and be in the same order as the list passed with AVAILABLE_PHONE_ACCOUNTS.

Constant Value: "android.telecom.extra.SUGGESTED_PHONE_ACCOUNTS"

REJECT_REASON_DECLINED

public static final int REJECT_REASON_DECLINED

Reject reason used with reject(int) to indicate that the user is rejecting this call because they have declined to answer it. This typically means that they are unable to answer the call at this time and would prefer it be sent to voicemail.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

REJECT_REASON_UNWANTED

public static final int REJECT_REASON_UNWANTED

Reject reason used with reject(int) to indicate that the user is rejecting this call because it is an unwanted call. This allows the user to indicate that they are rejecting a call because it is likely a nuisance call.

Instructs this Call to disconnect.

getCannedTextResponses

public List<String> getCannedTextResponses ()

Obtains a list of canned, pre-configured message responses to present to the user as ways of rejecting an incoming Call using via a text message.

Note: Since canned responses may be loaded from the file system, they are not guaranteed to be present when this Call is first added to the InCallService via InCallService.onCallAdded(Call). The callback Call.Callback.onCannedTextResponsesLoaded(Call, List) will be called when/if canned responses for the call become available.

getChildren

public List<Call> getChildren ()

Obtains the children of this conference Call, if any.

getConferenceableCalls

public List<Call> getConferenceableCalls ()

Returns the list of Calls with which this Call is allowed to conference.

getDetails

public Call.Details getDetails ()

Obtains an object containing call details.

getGenericConferenceActiveChildCall

public Call getGenericConferenceActiveChildCall ()

Returns the child Call in a generic conference that is currently active. A "generic conference" is the mechanism used to support two simultaneous calls on a device in CDMA networks. It is effectively equivalent to having one call active and one call on hold in GSM or IMS calls. This method returns the currently active call. In a generic conference, the network exposes the conference to us as a single call, and we switch between talking to the two participants using a CDMA flash command. Since the network exposes no additional information about the call, the only way we know which caller we're currently talking to is by keeping track of the flash commands that we've sent to the network. For calls that are not generic conferences, or when the generic conference has more than 2 children, returns null.

getParent

public Call getParent ()

Obtains the parent of this Call in a conference, if any.

getState

public int getState ()

This method was deprecated in API level 31.
The call state is available via Call.Details.getState().

Obtains the state of this Call.

getVideoCall

public InCallService.VideoCall getVideoCall ()

Obtains an object that can be used to display video from this Call.

handoverTo

public void handoverTo (PhoneAccountHandle toHandle, 
                int videoState, 
                Bundle extras)

Initiates a handover of this Call to the ConnectionService identified by toHandle. The videoState specified indicates the desired video state after the handover.

A call handover is the process where an ongoing call is transferred from one app (i.e. ConnectionService to another app. The user could, for example, choose to continue a mobile network call in a video calling app. The mobile network call via the Telephony stack is referred to as the source of the handover, and the video calling app is referred to as the destination.

When considering a handover scenario the device this method is called on is considered the initiating device (since the user initiates the handover from this device), and the other device is considered the receiving device.

When this method is called on the initiating device, the Telecom framework will bind to the ConnectionService defined by the toHandle PhoneAccountHandle and invoke ConnectionService.onCreateOutgoingHandoverConnection(PhoneAccountHandle, ConnectionRequest) to inform the destination app that a request has been made to handover a call to it. The app returns an instance of Connection to represent the handover call At this point the app should display UI to indicate to the user that a call handover is in process.

The destination app is responsible for communicating the handover request from the initiating device to the receiving device.

When the app on the receiving device receives the handover request, it calls TelecomManager.acceptHandover(Uri, int, PhoneAccountHandle) to continue the handover process from the initiating device to the receiving device. At this point the destination app on the receiving device should show UI to allow the user to choose whether they want to continue their call in the destination app.

When the destination app on the receiving device calls TelecomManager.acceptHandover(Uri, int, PhoneAccountHandle), Telecom will bind to its ConnectionService and call ConnectionService.onCreateIncomingHandoverConnection(PhoneAccountHandle, ConnectionRequest) to inform it of the handover request. The app returns an instance of Connection to represent the handover call.

If the user of the receiving device accepts the handover, the app calls Connection.setActive() to complete the handover process; Telecom will disconnect the original call. If the user rejects the handover, the app calls Connection.setDisconnected(DisconnectCause) and specifies a DisconnectCause of DisconnectCause.CANCELED to indicate that the handover has been cancelled.

Telecom will only allow handovers from PhoneAccounts which declare PhoneAccount.EXTRA_SUPPORTS_HANDOVER_FROM. Similarly, the PhoneAccount specified by toHandle must declare PhoneAccount.EXTRA_SUPPORTS_HANDOVER_TO.

Errors in the handover process are reported to the InCallService via Callback.onHandoverFailed(Call, int). Errors in the handover process are reported to the involved ConnectionServices via ConnectionService.onHandoverFailed(ConnectionRequest, int).

hold

public void hold ()

Instructs this Call to go on hold.

isRttActive

public boolean isRttActive ()

Returns whether this call has an active RTT connection.

mergeConference

public void mergeConference ()

phoneAccountSelected

public void phoneAccountSelected (PhoneAccountHandle accountHandle, 
                boolean setDefault)

Notifies this Call that an account has been selected and to proceed with placing an outgoing call. Optionally sets this account as the default account.

playDtmfTone

public void playDtmfTone (char digit)

Instructs this Call to play a dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) tone.

Tones are both played locally for the user to hear and sent to the network to be relayed to the remote device.

You must ensure that any call to playDtmfTone(char) is followed by a matching call to stopDtmfTone() and that each tone is stopped before a new one is started. The play and stop commands are relayed to the underlying ConnectionService as executed; implementations may not correctly handle out of order commands.

postDialContinue

public void postDialContinue (boolean proceed)

Instructs this Call to continue playing a post-dial DTMF string. A post-dial DTMF string is a string of digits entered after a phone number, when dialed, that are immediately sent as DTMF tones to the recipient as soon as the connection is made. If the DTMF string contains a TelecomManager.DTMF_CHARACTER_PAUSE symbol, this Call will temporarily pause playing the tones for a pre-defined period of time. If the DTMF string contains a TelecomManager.DTMF_CHARACTER_WAIT symbol, this Call will pause playing the tones and notify callbacks via Callback.onPostDialWait(Call, String). At this point, the in-call app should display to the user an indication of this state and an affordance to continue the postdial sequence. When the user decides to continue the postdial sequence, the in-call app should invoke the postDialContinue(boolean) method.

pullExternalCall

public void pullExternalCall ()

Initiates a request to the ConnectionService to pull an external call to the local device.

Calls to this method are ignored if the call does not have the Call.Details.PROPERTY_IS_EXTERNAL_CALL property set.

An InCallService will only see calls which support this method if it has the TelecomManager.METADATA_INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_CALLS metadata set to true in its manifest.

putExtras

public void putExtras (Bundle extras)

Adds some extras to this Call. Existing keys are replaced and new ones are added.

No assumptions should be made as to how an In-Call UI or service will handle these extras. Keys should be fully qualified (e.g., com.example.MY_EXTRA) to avoid conflicts.

Extras added using this method will be made available to the ConnectionService associated with this Call and notified via Connection.onExtrasChanged(Bundle).

Extras added using this method will also be available to other running InCallServices and notified via Call.Callback.onDetailsChanged(Call, Details). The extras can be accessed via Details.getExtras().

registerCallback

public void registerCallback (Call.Callback callback)

Registers a callback to this Call.

registerCallback

public void registerCallback (Call.Callback callback, 
                Handler handler)

Registers a callback to this Call.

reject

public void reject (boolean rejectWithMessage, 
                String textMessage)

Instructs this STATE_RINGING Call to reject.

reject

public void reject (int rejectReason)

Instructs the ConnectionService providing this STATE_RINGING call that the user has chosen to reject the call and has indicated a reason why the call is being rejected.

removeExtras

public void removeExtras (List<String> keys)

Removes extras from this Call.

removeExtras

public void removeExtras (String... keys)

Removes extras from this Call.

respondToRttRequest

public void respondToRttRequest (int id, 
                boolean accept)

Responds to an RTT request received via the Callback.onRttRequest(Call, int) )} callback. The ID used here should be the same as the ID that was received via the callback.

sendCallEvent

public void sendCallEvent (String event, 
                Bundle extras)

Sends a Call event from this Call to the associated Connection in the ConnectionService.

Call events are used to communicate point in time information from an InCallService to a ConnectionService. A ConnectionService implementation could define events which enable the InCallService, for example, toggle a unique feature of the ConnectionService.

A ConnectionService can communicate to the InCallService using Connection.sendConnectionEvent(String, Bundle).

Events are exposed to ConnectionService implementations via Connection.onCallEvent(String, Bundle).

No assumptions should be made as to how a ConnectionService will handle these events. The InCallService must assume that the ConnectionService could chose to ignore some events altogether.

Events should be fully qualified (e.g., com.example.event.MY_EVENT) to avoid conflicts between InCallService implementations. Further, InCallService implementations shall not re-purpose events in the android.* namespace, nor shall they define their own event types in this namespace. When defining a custom event type, ensure the contents of the extras Bundle is clearly defined. Extra keys for this bundle should be named similar to the event type (e.g. com.example.extra.MY_EXTRA).

When defining events and the associated extras, it is important to keep their behavior consistent when the associated InCallService is updated. Support for deprecated events/extras should me maintained to ensure backwards compatibility with older ConnectionService implementations which were built to support the older behavior.

sendRttRequest

public void sendRttRequest ()

Sends an RTT upgrade request to the remote end of the connection. Success is not guaranteed, and notification of success will be via the Callback.onRttStatusChanged(Call, boolean, RttCall) callback.
