Alternative to play audio during call in android - java

I am implementing automatic call response application in android.In my application the call is respond by the audio file which is recorded by user and that file will play when incoming call is answered automatically by program.I have searched for it to know how to do this but all are saying that this is not possible in android to play audio file during call.So, I want to know what are the alternatives that can be used for doing the same thing.

According to android official docs, it is not possible to play audio while a call.
See the docs here :https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html
Note: You can play back the audio data only to the standard output
device. Currently, that is the mobile device speaker or a Bluetooth
headset. You cannot play sound files in the conversation audio during
a call.
As an alternative you can use Twilio : https://www.ipragmatech.com/play-audio-file-android-call-using-twilio/

Turn on mobile earpiece forcefully

Following is the scenario:
Headphones with mic are connected to a mobile device.
What i want to achieve programmatically:
After a call is been initiated, audio from 3.5mm jack should (forcefully) be routed to mobile earpiece rather then headphone speakers, while the mic should be used of the headphones.
I have searched a lot on google but found methods only to forcefully turn on mobile external speakers.
Reference : how to turn speaker on/off programmatically in android 4.0
While, my goal is to turn on earpiece forcefully.
My research from google:
To achieve this there might be possibilities of system (root) permissions, which a third party application might need.
You may have to write a modified audio driver from sources ? As the functionality is based on the operating system.
If it is possible, can any one guide me on this ?
UPDATE
One more reference: Android - Getting audio to play through earpiece
But the above code does not work on all phones.

Live-stream video from one android phone to another via bluetooth

I am intended to make an app that stream live videos from one android phone to other one via Bluetooth,i need a simple player and there is no need to save the file,just play it.
My knowledge about stream in java is not enough and I really don't know where to start!
Please help me in finding any solution. Any help will be appreciated.
There is a sample android project to do streaming live video and allows you take photos and record videos from remote phone via bluetooth.

Android allows you to get frames as byte array using camera, you can use that api to get frames and send it across. But the problem is throttling the sending rate. That also has been handled in that project.
In marshmallow and above devices, you have to give permissions
manually in settings. This project does not include runtime
permissions

Android Studio - Route all audio from phone (calls, music player, etc.) through App

I've made an app in Android Studio which is essentially a parametric EQ with some additional features.
The app takes signal from the microphone source (whether the built-in mic or external mic). The signal is then passed through biquad filters and out to the speakers/earphones. I used LibPb to handle the signal processing.
Now, I want all the audio that would be coming out the speakers to be routed through the app.
In other words, any music playing or calls, I want the audio to also be passed through the filters in my app.
I have tried to find articles/resources on this topic but haven't found much.
I'm guessing that it can be done via Audio Focus or Media Router or something along those lines, but I cant figure it out!!
Firstly, is this possible?
Secondly, any code or hints as to how to go about it?
Any help is much appreciated!!

Editing Voice while calling - Android

I am newbie in android developing, I have searched for this question but i didn't find my answer.
I want to know is there any ability to edit the sound calls in android?
I mean i want to add noise or change sounds of caller, Is it possible to change the sound in calls or adding a new sound to it?
TL DR : The answer is not yet.
And it's not like we've been waiting. The first entry i can find is from July 31 of 2009, the issue #3434 and, as of today (May 13 of 2015) it's still has not been assigned.
It's really hard to actually work on low-latency project, audio recording and of course, voices changers when you can't do low latency.
Not to say there's hasn't been any workarounds, you could emulate yourself the call, and add the voice effect sure (build your own dialer, and work with that), but let me warn you : you probably won't have any good perfs when it comes to real-time appliucations. No low-latency means no efficiency when it comes to audio recording.
You'll have to wait then.
Your question can be resolved partially depending your using model. the premises are :
you just want to eject some noise into your outgoing audio stream,
not into the incoming audio stream.
you may use a third-party VoIP application to make the phone call.
or simply say, you just want the peer to hear some modified voice. it is feasible.
Normal a native phone application on Android platform uses "Android audio system module" in the framework, the vendor provided audio libraries and Linux ALSA audio libraries to transmit/receive the audio data. These .so and .a files are under the read-only mode normally and could not be overwritten by user, so you can not inject data into this data chain.
But you have more capability to manipulate the data if you use a VoIP application to make the phone call, some VoIP applications can give a real phone number, like Fongo, you can receive a phone call to that number, the caller does not know you are using a VoIP application to speak.
So if I was assigned to do this project, here are my steps:
find a usable and open sourced VoIP client on Android.
find the code to sample the audio data from microphone ,add the code
to manipulate the raw PCM data and send the result to audio encoder.
build and run it on Android
register or apply a phone number for this VoIP client.
done.
Hope it help

Route phone audio call to a custom sound service in android?

I have implemented my custom audio interface which is derived from AudioHardwareBase, and I have initialized it in AudioFlinger constructor class. This class will stream the audio through network.
This work fine when I play sound from a file, but not when make phone call.
The problem is due probably because the audio of phone call come from hardware unlike audio file (which come from software).
I'm willing to modify basic android library/driver in order to get this work.
Any idea how can I overcome this issue?
Thanks
