I am trying to develop an application which would add 1800+ numbers to the phone and mark them as blocked.
These are spam calls and few scam calls that we as a group received and would like to share this app within our group to not receive the calls.
Any help is much appreciated.
I am able to add the contacts from a file to the contacts app but not able to mark them as blocked.
Below is the code snippet for adding the contacts
import android.Manifest;
import android.content.ContentProviderOperation;
import android.content.ContentValues;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.BlockedNumberContract;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final int READ_CONTACTS_PERMISSION_REQUEST = 1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Request READ_CONTACTS and WRITE_CONTACTS permissions if not granted
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ||
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS},
READ_CONTACTS_PERMISSION_REQUEST);
} else {
addBlockedNumbersToContacts();
}
}
private void addBlockedNumbersToContacts() {
try {
InputStream inputStream = getAssets().open("numbers.txt");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
ArrayList<String> blockedNumbers = new ArrayList<>();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
String normalizedNumber = line.trim();
if (!normalizedNumber.isEmpty()) {
blockedNumbers.add(normalizedNumber);
}
}
reader.close();
for (String number : blockedNumbers) {
// Add the number to contacts with a custom label "Blocked"
addNumberToContacts(number, "Blocked");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void addNumberToContacts(String phoneNumber, String label) {
// Prepare the contact values
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<>();
int rawContactInsertIndex = ops.size();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null)
.build());
// Add the phone number to the contact data with the custom label
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, phoneNumber)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL, label)
.build());
try {
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
Log.d("Contact", "Number added to contacts: " + phoneNumber);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if (requestCode == READ_CONTACTS_PERMISSION_REQUEST) {
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& grantResults[1] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
addBlockedNumbersToContacts();
} else {
}
}
}
}
Now how do I mark the numbers as blocked ?
