Apps programming help

So, let me provide you more details. I am creating an app which will put your phone in silent mode unless someone from the list in calling ( urgent phones ). So in order to do that, I need the function which will read the real-time call log and depending on who calls, phones rings or not. This should be very easy app, but as I said, I am a newbee.

You might want to start with reading up on the TelephonyManager

No problem!

There are no bad questions Sometimes it helps just to ask to know where to start looking

Ok, I need an advice about storing a list from the phonebook. My app will have a button which will lead to the phonebook. Then I have to select up to 3 numbers to be stored. Now, what is the best way to store this info. I am thinking of having a file inside of the installation folder ( possibly encrypted, for any case) but is this a good practice? Maybe there is something more practical?

If it's just three numbers you could use SharedPreferences

Here are some more data storage options:
