@GATHrawn, NO,the suggested solution is related to recording which in fact quite opposite to Answering machine feature. – user12295 Feb 7 '12 at 15:39
The question is about playing back a piece of pre-recorded audio over the phone conversation, which is exactly point 2 of your question. Currently the only answer (which hasn't been accepted) is giving a workaround of playing pre-recorded audio whilst letting the inbuilt microphone pick it up during a call. It's not a good solution, but it is a solution. Things may have changed since that answer was posted June, if so anyone is welcome to post another answer which the OP could accept. Disregarding any answers that question is still very, very similar to this one. – GAThrawn Feb 8 '12 at 9:13

The other question isn't about recording, it's about playing "a recording", i.e., an audio file. You're right that the other question doesn't mention anything about muting the mic, though, so I think they are fine to stay separate. I'd encourage you to answer the other question, since it sounds like you've discovered how to play audio over the call without using the mic. – Matthew Read♦ Feb 9 '12 at 18:06

I have been developing my own answer machine application and hit two major stumbling blocks. One is that setMicrophoneMute(boolean on) simply doesn't work. And the other issue is playing an audio greeting down the phone line. This isn't possible due to hardware restrictions and it doesn't even work if the microphone is switched on and the audio is played through the speakers!!! Bizarre I know. I am hoping the NDK can provide a solution as I have put a lot of work into it already.
