Handling incoming call in android

Question

In my app i want to detect incoming call and i want to hide default incoming call layout with my custom layout,far now i have managed to get the state of incoming call but i'm not able to hide the default incoming call screen...below is my code and my android manifest file...any help will be appreciated..

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Log.i("DEBUG", "on recive called");
    String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
    String number = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);

    if (TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING.equals(state))
    {
        abortBroadcast();
        Log.d("MPR", "Its Ringing [" + number + "]");
        //start activity
        Intent i = new Intent();
        i.setClassName("com.ezest.callerid", "com.ezest.callerid.CustomCallActivity");
        i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(i);
    }

    if (TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE.equals(state))
    {
        Log.d("MPR", "Its Idle");
    }
    if (TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK.equals(state))
    {
        Log.d("MPR", "Its OffHook");
    }

}

Manifest

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >

    <receiver android:name="MYPhoneStateListener">
        <intent-filter android:priority="999999">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"></action>
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
    <activity
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name=".CallerIDActivity" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:name="CustomCallActivity">
    </activity>

</application>

Answer 1

when defined action is happened android operating system send broadcast to all defined broadcastreceiver for this action. it does this job according to priority order. I can see you have done it. copy that code where you want to cancel broadcast.

abortBroadcast()

Android operating system will stop broadcasting to other broadcastreceivers
