Android Client and Caller ID on screen!

[typeiionair]

Somethings are easier shown then explained...

so pretty much i want this to be able to grab the phone number off the actual event so i can display the CID information on the OSD

One possible way to do it (Copy & paste into EG.)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="918">
    <Macro Name="AndroidPhoneRinging" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="Main.Android.PhoneState.RINGING.*" />
        <Action>
            EventGhost.PythonCommand(u"eg.result=eg.event.string.split('.')[-1]")
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.ShowOSD(u'{eg.result}', u'0;-24;0;0;0;700;0;0;0;1;0;0;2;32;Arial', (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 3.0, False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

Trigger the event with a wildcard * (so all phone numbers will match this event, then split the event string from the '.' character and store the last one into the eg.result variable, and finally show the number with the osd. If you want to make it more complex than this it might be easier to make it as a python script instead of separate actions.

I don't know if the android client sets the eg.event.payload variable to contain the phone number when it triggers the event or not, but that would sound like an obvious thing to do. It's upto the android client though.

Hi typeiionair,

Future versions of the Android client will have some improvements to help with this. It currently doesn't make use of payloads.. mainly because I don't fully understand how they work, but that is a high priority for me. For now, with incoming calls, it generates two events - one generic, that the phone is ringing, and one with the specific phone number. The odd character issue is also corrected in the newer version of the client, I believe.

Feel free to give me any suggestions that would help to simplify this.. what your doing is the reason why I created the Android client.

Thanks for the tips, jinxdone!
