• http://tizen.org/api/call.history.read: Using this feature, we are able to read access to call history.

Call Details

By using tizen.call.history.find method you can fetch details of activities performed on a contact number from the Call logs. This is an asynchronous method and accepts following parameters:

• successCallback:

  This parameter is used as a Handler for query result set.

• errorCallback :

  Error Handler.

• filter:

  Search Criteria. This example retrieves details of activities performed using “1122334455” contact number.

• sortMode:

  The sortMode parameter manages the order preferences of the result set. In this example calls are sorted in descending order of thier start time.

• limit:

  Limits the query result set to maximum number given in the parameter.If 0, there is no limit set.

• offset:

  Specifies the offset in the result set, from where the results are listed.

$ var sortMode = new tizen.SortMode("startTime", "DESC");

$ var numberfilter = new tizen.AttributeFilter("remoteParties.remoteParty",
                                             "EXACTLY",
                                             "1122334455");

$ function onError(error) {
    console.log ("Query is failed" + error.name);
}

$ function onSuccess(results) {
    for (var i=0; i<results.length;i++) {   // process the CallHistoryEntry
        //Voice or VOIP call
        console.log(CallType + ". " + results[i].callType);
        //Start Time
        console.log(startTime + ". " + results[i].startTime);
        // Duration
        console.log(duration + ". " + results[i].duration);
        //Outgoing or incoming
        console.log(direction + ". " + results[i].direction);
        //Call Cost
        console.log(cost + ". " + results[i].cost);
    }
}

//Make the query and wire up the callbacks.

$ tizen.call.history.find(onSuccess, onError, numberfilter, sortMode);
