Android - Make a phone call with speaker on programatically

In this post, I'm sharing with you the Android code to turn on the speaker when making a call in a programatically way .

The idea behind is to place a call and to listen to the phone state change to switch on the speaker when the call is established.

package com.danielthat.loudspeaker;

import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class Loudspeaker extends Activity {

 Button mButton;
 EditText mEdit;
 TelephonyManager manager;
 StatePhoneReceiver myPhoneStateListener;
 boolean callFromApp=false; // To control the call has been made from the application
 boolean callFromOffHook=false; // To control the change to idle state is from the app call


 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.layout_loudspeaker);

  //To be notified of changes of the phone state create an instance
  //of the TelephonyManager class and the StatePhoneReceiver class
  myPhoneStateListener = new StatePhoneReceiver(this);
  manager = ((TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE));

  mEdit   = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
      
  mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
  mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  
   public void onClick(View v) {
  
    String phoneNumber = mEdit.getText().toString();
    manager.listen(myPhoneStateListener,
    PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE); // start listening to the phone changes
    callFromApp=true;
    Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_CALL,
                          Uri.parse("tel:+" + phoneNumber)); // Make the call       
    startActivity(i);   
   } 
  }); 
 }


 // Monitor for changes to the state of the phone
 public class StatePhoneReceiver extends PhoneStateListener {
     Context context;
     public StatePhoneReceiver(Context context) {
         this.context = context;
     }

     @Override
     public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
         super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);
        
         switch (state) {
        
         case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK: //Call is established
          if (callFromApp) {
              callFromApp=false;
              callFromOffHook=true;
                  
              try {
                Thread.sleep(500); // Delay 0,5 seconds to handle better turning on loudspeaker
              } catch (InterruptedException e) {
              }
          
              //Activate loudspeaker
              AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)
                                          getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
              audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);
              audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
           }
           break;
        
        case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE: //Call is finished
          if (callFromOffHook) {
                callFromOffHook=false;
                AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
                audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL); //Deactivate loudspeaker
                manager.listen(myPhoneStateListener, // Remove listener
                      PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_NONE);
             }
          break;
         }
     }
 }
}
