Get Phone Number in Android using TelephonyManager

Android Phone number

1. Android Phone number

android.telephony.TelephonyManager class provides information regarding telephony services such as ID, EMEI Number, SIM Serial Number, Phone Network Type, etc. In addition, it also provides the information about the phone status.

In this article, I'm going to guide you to use TelephonyManager in order to get the phone number information of the Android device, and a few pieces of other common information.

It is required that the application is given permission to view phone status information, so you need to add the following permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="org.o7planning.getphonenumberexample">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Note: From Android 6.0 (API Level 23) onwards, an application wants to know the status of the phone it needs to ask to get user permission.

Here is the interface of the example app:

main_activity.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button_getInfo"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:text="Get Phone Infos"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/editText_infos" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText_infos"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:gravity="top|left"
        android:hint="Phone Number"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
