phonegap-missedcall-plugin

This Android Phonegap plugin will notify your app whenever there is a missed call. This plugin was successfully tested with Phonegap 2.9 and Android 4.2.2 (on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus device).

Adding the plugin to project

• Make sure you are using Phonegap >2.0
• Copy 'assets/www/js/plugin/MissedCallPlugin.js' to your project's www folder.
• Include a reference to your JS file in your index.html. (This must be done after including cordova.js)
• Copy the Java files to your platform's src folder.
• Add reference to the plugin in platform/android/res/xml/config.xml <plugin name="MissedCallPlugin" value="org.apache.cordova.plugin.MissedCallPlugin"/>
• Ensure that the manifest file contains necessary permissions for reading the state of the phone and the call logs.

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />

Using the plugin

To instantiate the plugin object:

var missedCallPlugin = cordova.require('cordova/plugin/missedcallplugin');

startReception

Start the missed call receiver waiting for missed calls The success callback function will be called everytime a call is missed. The callback will receive a JSON object containing the contactName and contactNumber. You can add more fields from MissedCallReceiver.java. The error callback is called if an error occurs.

Example:

  missedCallPlugin.startReception (function(msg) {
    alert(msg);
  }, function() {
    alert("Error while receiving call details");
  });

stopReception

Stop the missed call receiver

Example:

  missedCallPlugin.stopReception (function() {
    alert("Correctly stopped");
  }, function() {
    alert("Error while stopping the call receiver");
  });
