I know there has been a lot of discussion already on the subject of abortBroadcast for incomming calls. Is their anyone who has found a way around this problem. I'm trying to create an app that when an incoming phonecall is answered the native incallscreen does not show.
For the moment the he only solution I have found is to create your own custom ROM, but that seems is bit much for just one app.
thanx
Since there's no proper way of using abortBroadcast(), as android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE is not being received via an ordered broadcast (no sendOrderedBroadcast() call, but sendBroadcast() instead – I've simply checked this by calling isOrderedBroadcast() in my receiver), all receivers must receive this intent "at the same time". But things start happening even before the broadcast.
Furthermore, nothing "legally receivable" happens before the call to sendBroadcast(), as thoroughly yet briefly described in this blog post. And that, unfortunately, means we'd have to go down to system level and, among other tasks, "abort broadcast before broadcast", either by applying a custom ROM, or otherwise modifying the device.
If you still want to do this, I believe custom ROM may be the way to go. And I so hope to be corrected. Only possible solution and that for rooted devices, in my opinion, lies in finding anything "legally receivable" that comes in time.
