Can a program answer an incomming call instead of the user having to click "Answer"

[pirateman1966]

Last time I checked 2 years ago, the android telephony sdk did not have a way for a program to take control of the phone functions like answer and hang up without the user interaction! is this still true? I need to be able to read the incoming call's number (Caller ID) and answer with a prerecorded message or let the phone ring for the user to answer.
Is that possible with Android?
Thanks.

Is this a platform question or an app question? If an app question, the answer is no and you are asking in the wrong forum. If a platform question, could you provide us more details, are you trying to create your own build of Android to overcome the issue or something?

You may try this ( we did this few years back probably in ICS, not sure if it still works)

Get reference to windowManagerservice

create a KeyEvent with keycode KEYCODE_CALL and injectKeyEvent using windowManager .

Note: above things are not exposed to developers , this is a kind of hack, also with every new release of android u may have to check if ur code still works.
