If it is a non-Google Play app then you can intercept incoming calls and send a SMS message. Answering phone calls is more difficult.

Check PhoneEvents and PhoneSMS. Note that for PhoneEvents to work in the background, you need a foreground service.

Better to create a static intent filter.

See this tutorial about static intent filters: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/20103/#content

The action should be: android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE

You also need to add this permission:

B4X:

AddPermission(android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)

And request it at runtime.
