How can we hide call logs of specific contact in android?

Question

I am trying to hide call logs from particular contact. For this I have created broadcast receiver for receive event of incoming / outgoing / missed call / call hangup.

But how can I get call details on call hangup event ?

I know we can get following 2 informations when incoming event occurs :

1) State
2) Phone Number

Now for hide contact, I need to delete entry from defalut call log database which is located in “content://call_log/calls”., and insert it inside my sqlite database.

Is there anybody who faced this kind of issue before ? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Perhaps a better approach would be to register a ContentOberver on the call log table. See this question: How to implement a ContentObserver for call logs

Whenever an update is made to the table, you could query for the phone number in question and delete the record.
