Apps Application that starts working during call

[uaeHamed]

Hi all,

If I would like to have an application(background or active) to start working when an incoming or outgoing call is started, how do I go about that?
I just need the basic idea no need for specifics(also it would be greatly appreciated). So basically does this application need to be a server that has a broadcast reciever or something?

It needs to be a service to be able to work in the background. And to start the service on incomming or outgoing calls, you can use broadcasts.

So my service needs to catch the broadcast that informs all that a call is starting. Thanks!

You can have a broadcast start the service via startService(), do the work and shut down the service.
