VoicemailContract

---

Kotlin |Java

public class VoicemailContract
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.provider.VoicemailContract

---

The contract between the voicemail provider and applications. Contains definitions for the supported URIs and columns.

The content providers exposes two tables through this interface:

• Voicemails table: This stores the actual voicemail records. The columns and URIs for accessing this table are defined by the Voicemails class.
• Status table: This provides a way for the voicemail source application to convey its current state to the system. The columns and URIS for accessing this table are defined by the Status class.

The minimum permission needed to access this content provider is Manifest.permission.ADD_VOICEMAIL or carrier privileges (see TelephonyManager.hasCarrierPrivileges()).

Voicemails are inserted by what is called as a "voicemail source" application, which is responsible for syncing voicemail data between a remote server and the local voicemail content provider. "voicemail source" application should always set the PARAM_KEY_SOURCE_PACKAGE in the URI to identify its package.

In addition to the ContentObserver notifications the voicemail provider also generates broadcast intents to notify change for applications that are not active and therefore cannot listen to ContentObserver notifications. Broadcast intents with following actions are generated:

• ACTION_NEW_VOICEMAIL is generated for each new voicemail inserted.
• Intent#ACTION_PROVIDER_CHANGED is generated for any change made into the database, including new voicemail.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeoutMillis) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Constants

ACTION_FETCH_VOICEMAIL

Added in API level 14

public static final String ACTION_FETCH_VOICEMAIL

Constant Value: "android.provider.extra.PHONE_ACCOUNT_HANDLE"

EXTRA_SELF_CHANGE

Added in API level 14

public static final String EXTRA_SELF_CHANGE

Extra included in Intent#ACTION_PROVIDER_CHANGED broadcast intents to indicate if the receiving package made this change.
