CallGuardR — Call Blocker for Android

CallGuardR is an Android application for blocking unwanted incoming and outgoing calls based on number masks and contact list. The app uses Android system APIs (Call Screening and Call Redirection) for efficient call filtering.

📱 Features

🔒 Incoming Call Blocking

• Number masks — Set masks (e.g., +7900*, 8495*) to block entire number ranges
• Block unknown callers — Reject calls from numbers not in your address book
• Automatic filtering — Uses system CallScreeningService to block calls before your phone rings

🛡️ Outgoing Call Protection

• Outgoing call verification — Control outgoing calls to numbers outside your contacts
• Protection modes:
  • Off — no restrictions
  • Warning — shows notification before calling
  • Block — completely blocks the call

📝 Event Log

• Logging — All incoming and outgoing calls are recorded with details
• Decision history — See which calls were blocked and why

🔐 App Lock

• Password protection — Set a password to protect settings and blocking rules
• Privacy — No one can change your rules without authorization

🌐 Multilingual Support

• Russian — Full Russian language support
• English — Full English translation
• Switching — Change language directly within the app

📋 Requirements

• Android 7.0+ (API 24)
• Android 10+ for outgoing call protection (API 29)
• Device with telephony support (not a tablet without SIM)
• Contacts permission (optional, for blocking unknown callers)

❓ FAQ

Why isn't the app blocking calls?

Make sure that:

1. You have activated the service and obtained ROLE_CALL_SCREENING
2. The mask is configured correctly
3. Call Screening is supported on your device (Android 7.0+)

Can I use it on a tablet?

Call Screening requires a device with telephony support (with SIM card). The feature may not be available on tablets without SIM.

Where is data stored?

All data (masks, password, log) is stored locally in the app's SharedPreferences. No data is sent to any server.

How do I reset the password?

If you forgot your password, clear the app data in Android settings: Settings > Apps > CallGuard > Storage > Clear Data.
