how to turn speaker on/off programmatically in android Pie and UP

Same as this question and many others from a few years ago: how to turn speaker on/off programmatically in android 4.0

It seems that Android has changed the way it handles this.

here are the things I tried to make an Outgoing call to have a speakerphone programmatically. None of these solutions worked for me on Android Pie. while they seem to work well on Android Nougat and Oreo

Solution 1.

final static int FOR_MEDIA = 1;
final static int FORCE_NONE = 0;
final static int FORCE_SPEAKER = 1;

Class audioSystemClass = Class.forName("android.media.AudioSystem");
Method setForceUse = audioSystemClass.getMethod("setForceUse", int.class, int.class);
setForceUse.invoke(null, FOR_MEDIA, FORCE_SPEAKER);

2.

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if (audioManager != null) {
   audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION);
   audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);

3.

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if (audioManager != null) {
   audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);
   audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);

4.

Thread thread = new Thread() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            while(true) {
                sleep(1000);
                audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);
                if (!audioManager.isSpeakerphoneOn())
                    audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
};
thread.start();

the app has the following permissions granted among many others:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />

I have also tried the following solution only for outgoing calls. and it also didn't work.

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.putExtra("speaker", true);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + number));
context.startActivity(callIntent);
