I am trying to get the user's phone number but the problem is that I am getting null response based on my research so far we can get the same by using the object of TelePhony Manager and calling function getLine1Number()

but I am not getting any response,somebody suggested that this is because the service provider is not providing the same in my country I am in India but for blackberry it's providing the phone number so what could be the possible problem please suggest my whole algo depends on this.

Have you added the permission

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

to your AndroidManifest.xml file?

  • Retrieving the device's associated phone number isn't an exact art - some sim cards do not readily provide it how Android wants it, so you may be having issues obtaining it because of this – biddulph.r Jul 25 '12 at 10:54

have you tried using

String phoneNumber = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);

If you have already used this, I will recommend that you elaborate your question in a more specific way.

Add this permission to your android manifest file 

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

use following code to get number

number = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
