Fake Incoming Call Android

Fake call in android

Android is open source. Use it!

In the Phone app on the git repository you can find call_card.xml and CallCard.java, which are used to display the incoming call screen. Especially the java file is quite long and complex, but the layout (combined, of course, with the resources it references) should give you a fairly accurate copy of the default Android call screen.

How to send fake call broadcast on android

I may be wrong as I can't find anything in the docs but I'd say it's not possible to 'spoof' a call ringing broadcast. It's almost certainly reserved as 'system only'.

Think about it - if apps could do this, it may simply result in 'mischief' rather than anything malicious but it isn't something that I'd like to happen on my phone.

Create your own 'phone ringing' action to use for testing purposes and have your BroadcastReceiver listen for it. When you come to release the app then simply change the BroadcastReceiver's intent filter to listen for the real one.
