How do I get access to the phone call log via c# in monoTouch? I want to be able to help my legal clients bill for calls received or made. So I need to be able to see the details of a call and institute a billing procedure soon after the call is made.
Any sample code out there? THANKS!
You can't. Apple doesn't expose any APIs for accessing the Phone logs.
As you can't access the phone logs through the SDK, one thing you could do is recreate the iOS phone app's functionality in your app as well, and have your client use that instead.
1) Your app would show contacts
2) Tap a contact to call
3) (Your app logs the contact and call time)
4) Pass the call off to the actual phone app
For this client project though, it might be easier to have them buy Android phones, and use Xamarin.Android. How do I access call log for android?

I created a smart home action using action-on-google and nodeJs, and it works fine. When you say turn on switch off, it sends MQTT request to my server, means that onExecute function works fine but the problem is that google doesn't respond to my command by OK it says "sorry it looks like your device not available right now", I observed also that my device is always offline in Google home app. Is it required to work with firebase and get device state from there?
Firebase is one of web services allowed to store a device's states. You can feel free to use other web services.
If your device is offline, it may be because your Google Home App hasn't received your device's states.
Here are two paths for Google Home App receiving your device's data:
Google Server will send a action.devices.QUERY intent and callback your function (e.g. onQuery) to get the data of your device through your fulfillment, see action.devices.QUERY.
Thus, please print logs in the onQuery function and make sure that your function works fine.
Your smart home action must use the API of reportStateAndNotification to update your device's data in the Home Graph, see Method: devices.reportStateAndNotification.
If Google Assistant gives you "Sorry, device is not available right now", it probably is because the Google server hasn't received correct information from your fulfillment. Please follow the suggestions above and try it again.
If you're still having issues, check your logs to identify the particular issue for that device.
I am planning to create a mobile application for android and ios users, i think i will take a try with xamarin since i will be alone on this project and i don't have a lots of time.
I want that the mobile app for both platform get datas from the api, then if there is new datas available we notify the user by a notification.
How the mobile will work in that kind of project? I mean should i make a background service then check every x seconds/minutes by http request? In that case which time interval? Should i use websockets instead for this case?
The app might be used by many people, so i would to know the scenario in this kind of project: Getting very fast changes, without overload the server due to too many connects or whatever else.
I'm confused about this and i need some lights around, any mobile application/server experiences related would be apprecied!
EDIT:
As suggered by an user, here additional infos:
The api is homemade, restful using JWT made in NodeJS.
Each users on their device should get messages from server asap, even when the app is in background/closed.
Maybe in the future a way to send messages between users themselves.
You have to implement push notification.
It is quite easy to implement this in xamarin. just send the push notification to the device and on the notification received call back send the API request to retrieve the updated data.
Here is the document for sending push notification from custom API.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/push/pushapi
I'm not a mobile developer, so take this with a grain of salt.
The answer to this really depends on what you're doing, which informs how often to check the API. If it's a messaging app, for example, you could have it check every couple minutes to see if there are undelivered messages, then check more frequently for the next X minutes (to facilitate a conversation in real time).
If it's a GPS navigation app to be used while driving, you'd need much more frequent requests.
As for the API, that also depends on what type of API and the number of requests you can make to it. Is it a commercial API that you get x number of calls per hour on? Is it an API that you built? Etc.
Basically, you need to give more information in order to get more specific answers.
I'm trying to implement some click to dial functionality as follows:
A user finds a number on a webpage (say employee extension)
Clicking that extension will dial a phone number that I've picked
Upon answering that call, I am immediately "conferenced" into
calling the number I actualy wanted to dial.
I've done something very similar using a Twilio API but want to use our corporate Cisco Call Manager capabilities instead of paying per minute for this functionality.
The WebDialerSOAP doesn't seem to be able to give me this functionality. I think doing a conference would work but can't find anything to do that. Possibly an open source call manager wrapper?
why not a FreeSWITCH server alongside the CUCM? It can set up conferences, and it's one of themost programmable products with as much control over API as you want.
It has also an RTMP module, so you can actually run a Flash-based softphone out of your browser
Use TAPI3 or JTAPI
Connect the code using TSP, and Application user
use CreateCall function to the number from HTML page with implementing the trigger.
use CreateCall to the other phone.
use Finish(FINISH_MODE.FM_ASCONFERENCE) to complete conference.
Does anyone know how to send an SMS from the xcode application without using the UI?
I mean I want the SMS to be sent internally from the application. I have seen an app that has this feature.
I have alarm system, the alarm only receive SMS nothing else, I need the user to see the alarm name that is easy, but I want the user to choose the alarm name and control it (close, open) and I need to send command by SMS that the issue, the user should not see the alarm number neither the content which is the command text if you can help me that I will pay anyone that can help me with this.
I'm developing on iOS version 4.2.
no there is no way to do it in background , you have to call the GUI unless you create your api that ask for no & send sms from server.
My idea is to make an application start automatically when a message from a specific user reaches the inbox of the mobile . For example if my friend sends some numbers to my mobile, the sms has to be read and validated first and then calculator ( inbuilt mobile application) has to be triggered and process the numbers from the message. Please help me with the above query.
I am far from convinced you will be able to give the phone user access to the same sms you use to launch your MIDlet.
You may need to use native development on the phones that support it if J2ME can't give you exactly what you need.
In any case, you probably want to try with J2ME first so you need to read the specifications for JSR-118 and its PushRegistry API, along with JSR-120, which interfaces with SMS.
Most current J2ME-enabled phones will support static SMS Push but you will need to send the SMS to a particular port, much like you would data over a standard library socket.
I don't think you can trigger on just any old SMS message arriving.
This is the class you want to look at, in any case:
javax.microedition.io.PushRegistry
