Can I send and receive a response to USSD requests? I asked this question and found that this problem has not yet been implemented:

Is there a way to handle USSD requests for Android apps?

Answer 1

Android currently lacks developer support for interacting with USSD / MMI. Sending a USSD request is simple, as Terence suggested, but there is no easy way to handle an incoming USSD response.

As far as I know, there are currently two approaches if you want to interact with the answer.

• Extract from magazines
• or using the hidden interface - "com.android.internal.telephony.IExtendedNetworkService".

The interface is hidden in the telephony package, and you need to create it and include it in your project.

here is an example to get you started ..

Answer 2

Use this USSD Interceptor found on GitHub .

The project description states that it is:

USSD Interceptor is an Android service that allows you to intercept and receive USSD calls text results and relay them to any listeners.

Answer 3

Sending USSD is easy

startActivityForResult(new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL", Uri.parse("tel:*123" + Uri.encode("#"))), 1); 

Here is a piece of code that should help you with the answer. He reads magazines to get an answer. From http://codepaste.ru/7545/#
