Error While Enabling Speaker on Outgoing Call in Oreo/Nougat

Question

I need to turn on loudspeaker during outgoing calls but its throwing exception Below is the code snippet i have used:

audioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
                    audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);
                    if (!audioManager.isSpeakerphoneOn())
                        audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
                    audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL);

It is working good from devices below 6.0, but not working in 8.0 and 7.0.

are you connected with bluetooth or earphones with same time? — Rahul Khurana, Feb 22 '19 at 06:51

Found the answer.

You are trying to use AudioManager during a call, and Android Systems forbids it. The way to achieve setting on the speaker is by replacing the Phone behaviour and implementing InCallService.

Then you may call setAudioRoute(CallAudioState.ROUTE_SPEAKER) and be capable of handling different devices (as such as Bluetooth or wired earphones).

You can see API definition here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telecom/InCallService#setAudioRoute(int)

Is it possible to use setAudioRoute function in TelephonyManager events? — Sandeep, Oct 18 '19 at 17:21
