Cordova-CallLog-Plugin

Android only (help with IOS welcome) cordova plugin to access the call history on a device.

Installation

cordova plugins add "https://github.com/dalyc/Cordova-CallLog-Plugin"

Usage

I've only used this in an Ionic application so this usage is AngularJS based. Here is my CallLogService accessing the plugin (window.plugins.calllog)

.factory('CallLogService', ['$q', function($q) {
    return {

        list : function(days) {
            var q = $q.defer();
            // days is how many days back to go
            window.plugins.calllog.list(days, function (response) {
                q.resolve(response.rows);
            }, function (error) {
                q.reject(error)
            });
            return q.promise;
        },

        contact : function(phoneNumber) {
            var q = $q.defer();
            window.plugins.calllog.contact(phoneNumber, function (response) {
                q.resolve(response);
            }, function (error) {
                q.reject(error)
            });
            return q.promise;
        },

        show : function(phoneNumber) {
            var q = $q.defer();
            window.plugins.calllog.show(phoneNumber, function (response) {
                q.resolve(response);
            }, function (error) {
                q.reject(error)
            });
            return q.promise;
        }

        delete : function(phoneNumber) {
            var q = $q.defer();
            window.plugins.calllog.delete(id, function (response) {
                q.resolve(response);
            }, function (error) {
                q.reject(error)
            });
            return q.promise;
        }
    }
}])

Here is a controller using the above service

.controller('DebugCtrl', ['$scope', 'CallLogService', 'LocalStorage',
    function ($scope, CallLogService, LocalStorage) {

        $scope.data = {};
        $scope.callTypeDisplay = function(type) {
            switch(type) {
                case 1:
                    return 'Incoming';
                case 2:
                    return 'Outgoing';
                case 3:
                    return 'Missed';
                default:
                    return 'Unknown';
            }
        };

        CallLogService.list(1).then(
            function(callLog) {
                console.log(callLog);
                $scope.data.lastCall = callLog[0];
            },
            function(error) {
                console.error(error);
            });
    }]);

Here is my debug.html view that calls the above controller.

<ion-view class="h6" title="Debug">
    <ion-content class="has-header">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col">Last Call</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col col-30 col-offset-10">Name</div>
            <div class="col">{{data.lastCall.cachedName}}</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col col-30 col-offset-10">Number</div>
            <div class="col">{{data.lastCall.number}}</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col col-30 col-offset-10">Type</div>
            <div class="col">{{callTypeDisplay(data.lastCall.type)}}</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col col-30 col-offset-10">Date</div>
            <div class="col">{{data.lastCall.date | date}}</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col col-30 col-offset-10">Duration</div>
            <div class="col">{{data.lastCall.duration}} seconds</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col col-30 col-offset-10">Acknowledged</div>
            <div class="col">{{(data.lastCall.new == 1 ? 'yes' : 'no')}}</div>
        </div>
    </ion-content>
</ion-view>

Note that I also have a decorator in app.js to allow my app to continue working when testing in a browser

$provide.decorator('CallLogService', ['$delegate', '$q', function ($delegate, $q) {
  if (window.plugins && window.plugins.calllog) {
    return $delegate;
} else {
    return {
      list : function() {
        var lastCall = {
          cachedName: 'Joe Blow',
          cachedNumberType: 2,
          date: 1406720317112,
          duration: 2224,
          new: 1,
          number: '0428889999',
          type: 1
        };
        return $q.when([lastCall]);
      },
      contact : function() {
        return $q.when({});
      },
      show : function() {
        return $q.when(true);
      }
    };
  }
}]);
