How does the Telecom framework handle call streaming in Android Auto

The Telecom framework handles call streaming in Android Auto through the new Telecom Jetpack library, which allows VoIP apps to stream audio from calls directly to connected devices, such as tablets or wearables. This framework supports seamless audio switching and routing, enabling a consistent call experience across devices.

Key features include:

• Call Streaming: VoIP calls can be streamed while remaining active on the source device, allowing users to manage calls from different devices.
• Integration with Android Auto: Calls can be managed within the Android Auto interface, enhancing safety and usability while driving.
• Capabilities Registration: Apps can register their capabilities, such as supporting call streaming or video calls, ensuring proper integration with the Telecom system[1][3][4].

What are the best practices for making phone calls programmatically in Android

To make phone calls programmatically in Android, follow these best practices:

1. Choose the Right Intent:
   • Use Intent.ACTION_DIAL for opening the dialer without permissions. This allows users to confirm the call.
   • Use Intent.ACTION_CALL for direct calls but ensure you have the CALL_PHONE permission.
2. Handle Permissions:
   • Request runtime permissions for CALL_PHONE if using ACTION_CALL. Utilize libraries like RxPermissions for smoother permission handling.
3. Use Telephone URI Format:
   • Format phone numbers as URIs: tel:+[countrycode][phonenumber]. This ensures compatibility across different devices.
4. Implement ConnectionService:
   • For VoIP apps, implement a ConnectionService to manage calls and audio routing effectively.
5. Provide User Feedback:
   • Inform users about ongoing calls and changes in call state through notifications or UI updates.

By adhering to these practices, you can create a user-friendly calling experience in your Android application[1][4][5].
