Call answered?

[Mark Ford]

Is there a way to determine the state of a call e.g. the other person has answered the phone / hung up etc.

You can't (easily) find when the call is answered, but hung up is the Phone Idle event.

With AutoInput, you can use UI query and get it. I've tried to make below profile to perform the same.


Profile: Test (82)
State: Call [ Type:Any Number:* ]
Enter: Test (29)
A1: AutoInput UI Query [ Configuration:Variables: duration Package:com.joaomgcd.autoinput Name:AutoInput UI Query Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
A2: If [ %duration ~R (\d\d:\d\d) ]
A3: Flash [ Text:Connected Long:Off ]
A4: Else If [ %PACTIVE ~ *,Test,* ]
A5: Goto [ Type:Action Number Number:1 Label: ]
A6: End If

Another way to check phone/call state.  Maybe this thead remind me of another feature-request now. 

You can't (easily) find when the call is answered, but hung up is the Phone Idle event.

Yes, currently we can use "Phone Idle" event  to trigger a task to set a variable which will be represented as phone/call state. Then we can use the former variable in our other tasks. But it's not that convenient for us. So I think Tasker should implement a "Phone/Call state" function in the category of "Phone ---> Test Phone".

In fact, we can check phone/call state at any time with some internal classes in android(I mean "com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony"). See here and here for reference.

I made a task using "Java Function" of Tasker. It works very well. Xml file attached. 

Note: The Java lines below is unusable in Tasker. I use reflection instead.

 ITelephony phone = ITelephony.Stub.asInterface(ServiceManager.checkService("phone"));

It will be much better if Tasker intergrate the same function into "Test Phone---> Phone State". Just my brainstorm. :-)

Using that logic, there should be a test for every possible profile condition...

Great code example though!
