Android CallScreeningService provide Caller Id

452 Views Asked by At

In the Android CallScreeningService docs it states that the CallScreeningService class should be implemented for two purposes as seen below, Call blocking/screening and Call identification (display a user-interface of their choosing which contains identifying information for a call).

I have implemented the class CallScreeningService and am able to block incoming or outgoing calls, however in the class CallScreeningService or any of its utilised classes (Call.Details, Call.Response) I cannot find any methods or documentations on how to provide Caller Id as the docs outline. The role required by the application to implement CallScreeningService is ROLE_CALL_SCREENING which also notes providing caller id in its docs:

To qualify for this role, an application needs to implement CallScreeningService. The application will be able to screen calls and provide call identification

So 2 years after the question was asked, I ran into the same confusion. The crux is in these 2 lines (not sure if they were present 2 years ago):

If your app provides a caller ID experience, it should launch an activity to show the caller ID information from onScreenCall(android.telecom.Call.Details).
