Covid-19 response - Need Android code

[wisem2540]

Hello all,

I have some experience with Autoit, but almost none for Android. I work for a healthcare organization and as part of their Covid response, we are attempting to check on patients remotely.

The idea here is that we would put android tablets in the rooms and use Cisco Jabber to call into the room. I would like to deliver an APK to the tablet that could detect an incoming call from Cisco Jabber, and then tap the answer button.

I realize this is probably not the appropriate use for this forum, so I apologize in advance. However, if someone would be willing to help with this code, we could save lives.

Thanks

I don't have much experience automating Android, but i've used MacroDroid to automate some things on my personal phone. (It's free if you don't use more than 5 "macros") It's something to check out at least. It has some triggers (like notifications being created) that might be helpful. There is one called an intent that looks like it might be useful, but I don't know anything about it.

Edit: Page 54 of this document seems to indicate that you select particular groups to always answer  Let me know if this works!

Thanks.  That guide is for Cisco UCM.  Cisco Jabber is a business messaging client and doesn't support auto answer on Android natively.

Tasker is great for automating android, it also has a plugin called AutoInput by same developer Joaomgcd for clicking on things. Tasker costs 3.49 USD and AutoInput is free for limited use or pay to unlock is less than Tasker if i recall. you only need to purchase once to install on as many devices you want so long as the devices are signed into the same Google account. Tasker has a learning curve and is difficult to have someone do it for you unless they have access to the same app you are trying to automate, but for just a couple of functions you should be able to sort it out pretty quick.

the Tasker subreddit is the best place to find help.

Update on this.  In record time, Cisco released a custom version of the client for us that will auto-answer every call.

 

Thanks - this can be closed.  Stay safe everyone
