There is a simple solution to this problem using this library. I store an instance of the CallRecord class in MyService.class. When the service is first initialized, the following code is executed:
public class MyService extends Service {
public static CallRecord callRecord;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
callRecord = new CallRecord.Builder(this)
.setRecordFileName("test")
.setRecordDirName("Download")
.setRecordDirPath(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()) // optional & default value
.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB) // optional & default value
.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.AMR_NB) // optional & default value
.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_COMMUNICATION) // optional & default value
.setShowSeed(false) // optional, default=true ->Ex: RecordFileName_incoming.amr || RecordFileName_outgoing.amr
.build();
callRecord.enableSaveFile();
callRecord.startCallReceiver();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
callRecord.stopCallReceiver();
}
}
Next, do not forget to specify permissions in the manifest. (I may have some extras here, but keep in mind that some of them are necessary only for newer versions of Android)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_INCOMING_CALLS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Also it is crucial to request some permissions at the first start of the application. A guide is provided here.
If my code doesn't work, alternative code can be found here. I hope I helped you.
