Hi Star-Dust,
may not be able

What do you mean?

Have you tried that?

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Dim PE As PhoneEvents
    Dim PhoneId As PhoneId
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
    PE.InitializeWithPhoneState("PE", PhoneId)
End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)

End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy

End Sub

Sub PE_PhoneStateChanged (State As String, IncomingNumber As String, Intent1 As Intent)
      
    If State="RINGING" Then
        'Squillo
        if IncomingNumber ="0039333xxxx" then KillCall 
    Else If State="OFFHOOK" Then
        ' OFF Hook
    else If State="IDLE" Then
        'IDEL
      
    End If
End Sub

Sub KillCall
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.GetContext
   Dim TelephonyManager, TelephonyInterface As Object
   TelephonyManager = r.RunMethod2("getSystemService", "phone", "java.lang.String")
   r.Target = TelephonyManager
   TelephonyInterface = r.RunMethod("getITelephony")
   r.Target = TelephonyInterface
   r.RunMethod("endCall")
End Sub

Update: For newer versions of android (12+) there is another method (TelecomManager rather TelephonyManager)

you can try this Lib. It is a short and incomplete wrap.
Most of the methods are not working for me as my app is not the default sms or default dialer app. Only these apps are allowed to block, unblock

Even querying the list is not allowed. I always run into this exception

Hi Star-Dust,

Thanks for your help !

Yes. It is my solution currently. But, It may be change on the next android version.
