MIT's App Inventor can't receive phone calls or show the calling number ... Is it possible?

It's possible to do many things in MIT's app inventor, yet, there is no clear way on how to receive a phone-call/SMS or even showing the calling number ... is that possible?

Solution

  • You can't receive a phone call with App Inventor, there is the PhoneCall component, but you can only Use this component to dial the phone and make a call.

    There is the Texting component, which can send and receive SMS and also display the sending phone number: When a message arrives, the MessageReceived event is raised and provides the sending number and message.
