Hi folks,
I was studying how to process a call internally in android. I found that in android 2.3 Google blocked some 'background' API that developers used to answer and decline calls.
But, i found that some apps around web have functionality of blocking or answering calls. But i didn't found how to make a specific action that is just ignore some call, without user interaction.
What is ignoring a call?
Let the incoming call ringing for the other-side caller, but doesn't display nothing on my android phone.
I know some developers around here know how to do that, so please, give me some tip. I want to know how to do that programmatically.
PS: I don't know if i'm asking in the correct forum, please say yes
Thanks and Peace.

Hello Guys,
Quite a while ago I used a Symbian app as an answerphone on my Nokia N96. I believe it was called Advanced Call Manager.
The question is: Are there any apps out there that will allow me to use my Samsung Galaxy SII to answer incoming calls and record messages.
These were the features of ACM for the N95:
More efficient call-handling options you can assign to different contacts
ACM gives you five more ways to subtly escape calls without having to hang up:
Busy tone – send a busy tone to callers. Avoid acting rude by hanging up.
Busy tone and SMS – add a personal touch to sending a busy tone: inform your callers with pre-assigned SMS replies.
Mute the ringer – let the calls through with a muted ringer. More discrete, and keeps you undisturbed.
Divert calls – forward incoming calls when you are unavailable.
Play a personal greeting (Nokia devices only) – set your own answering machine and record the caller’s message straight onto your phone, avoiding having to call your operator to check voice messages.
Handle groups of contacts by creating lists
The easiest way to handle your calls is to divide callers into lists such as “Friends,” “Family,” “Work” and assign blocking rules for each. ACM gives you several handy list options:
Work with blacklists and whitelists – block or allow calls from people included in a list.
Import contacts from your phonebook – simplified list creation.
Individual settings allowed – personalize how ACM handles an individual caller included in a list (for example, send a specific SMS auto-reply to your mother while the default blocking action for list “Family” is to send busy tone).

The closest thing I have come across is Hullomail but this has to have all calls forwarded to there answer service. I'd prefer to simply handle all calls on my SGS2
Cheers.
This is the exact same app for android

Yes I've seen that one, but... It does not record or answer incoming calls on the Android platform.
Does anyone have experience of any apps along these lines?
I saw a pretty interesting topic at the SGS2 forum, where users complain that after removing the Name id application they cannot add call, create conference call, or put call on hold. They dont specifically mention ecid.apk by name, but i believe this is the apk for this application, so can anyone who have it removed tell if he or she has experienced the same issues after its uninstall?
Thanks
Yes, This is a known issue. There is something within the apk that allows you to make and receive multiple calls. If you do not have it installed your calls will fail.
Dear users,
i'm a new junior developer with no experience on Android.
I would like to ask you (skilled developers) if you think is possible to find a way to develop an app to intercept incoming calls and forward/divert them to another a Google talk, Skype etc. or voip extension through a phone's internet connection (wifi, hsdpa..).
In case is not possible with the official functions, can be done on rooted phones?
[In case there is not chance It maybe possible using a trick/automation like intercept the incoming calls and use the installed app (skype..) to call another contact and forward the voice]
Thanks in advance and sorry if i missed some already present similar thread (i didn t find any)
Hi,
First off I'd like to say that I get a lot of calls from customers and I have no efficient way to store their numbers and collect information about them. The phone's log only stores some of the the latest incoming numbers and I do not have the time to write everything down once a client calls.
Once a client calls I ask him ~1-5 yes/no boiler-plate questions about his needs and situation.
I'd like you to ask whether you have heard of such an app/program which would do the following:
- a unknown number calls, you answer, talk then you hang up
- a window pops up whether you want to input info about the client who just called. you can choose to enter info or not
- if you want to collect info you get asked these pre-set questions to which you can answer yes/no or input your own answer
- after you are done answering questions the info is stored to some XLS file or something like that.
It's like a client info database creator on a phone so you can later access them, filter them by different questions, etc. and then MASS SMS them by criteria selected.
If there anything like what I have just described for Android? If not on perhaps on iPhone? Any info would be appreciated.

Don't know of anything like it. But it would not be very create, perhaps consider teaming up with a dev and have the app made

Idk where to post this, but I'll pay for someone to create a custom call screening app that anyone (most likely rooted) can use instead of Google's call screener.
The call screener should be able to answer all calls that aren't from numbers in your contacts. And it simply and respectfully asks who's calling, and gives you a transcription of what they said and an option to send to VM or answer the call.
