I am trying to capture call recordings of both caller and called persons so far it can only capture one side in devices above android 7.0.0 .Altough this question has been asked many times such as here, here , and here .I did not find any working code and i am getting the impression it's impossible. I keep asking myself a simple question. Why at least 3 apps app1 ,app2,app3in google play has this functionality working great in android 7.0.0 and above. And how do they make it work?

    "And how do they make it work?" -> most likely they use a (very) low targetSdk, so either they don't have to ask permissions explicitly, or they use old code which would allow that. Very soon such apps won't be able to update to new versions until they will increase the (low) targetSdk, but when they'll do so they'll loose their functionalities. Android is becoming more and more strict, accept it and embrace it – Alessio Oct 26 '18 at 07:14
  • You can't do it anymore by targeting latest SDK. See the new restrictions https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/permissions/ – Naveen Oct 26 '18 at 07:17
  • But i found apps that record calls for android 8 and 8.1.1 flawlessly (api 24+). How do you explain that? – MIKE PERETZ Oct 26 '18 at 07:19
  • please link the apps so they can be analyzed. alternatively do it yourself using apktool – Karan Harsh Wardhan Oct 26 '18 at 07:46
  • @KaranHarshWardhan I would really appreciate if you could help me analyze those apps. I added links. thanks in advance! – MIKE PERETZ Oct 26 '18 at 08:08
  • I spent few months to disassemble those Apps where this feature is working and THERE IS a solution (I never tried on Android Pie 9 yet) but it uses a bug/forgotten_opened_hole in Android, so I think it will be fixed/changed in future resulting in a not-more-working method. Obliviously I prefer to keep my knowledge as PRIVATE, but I don't understand why Android never supported developers on voicecall recording making the things easier for us........ – emandt Oct 26 '18 at 10:17
