Auto answer voice or whatsapp calls

[Shahab]

Hi guys, I need to either

1. Auto answer video calls on whatsapp automatically or

2. Auto answer regular voice calls (speaker must be turned on + screen as well) automatically

I havet tried a brunch of apps without any luck and realised it has total be automated. It needs to work on "Samsung Tab Active5" tablet.  I need this solution to help a friend whose relative has dementia and forgotten how to answer calls at their nursing home, so at the moment they must call the reception each time to be able to speak with the relative instead of the person directly.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

For #2 try using the Call answer block, e.g. a flow like:

1. Flow beginning
2. Call incoming
3. Delay: 1s
   
4. Call answer
5. (connect #4 OK to #2 IN)

Thanks a lot Henrik!

it works to receive the calls automatically, but how do I turn on the internal speaker ? 
The person has hearing aids and as the screen goes black, wouldn't know how to turn it back on and then press the loudspeaker button.

Hi,

this worked for me:

Use the interact block with

Action: click

Xpath expression: fn:reverse((.//*[@android:id='@com.android.dialer:id/incall_third_button'])[1]/ancestor-or-self::*)

after call incoming and delay.

I don't know if the id is the same on all versions of Android

if not you have to find it out e.g. with the

Inspect layout block

Hope it helps

Regards

Fritz
