Spam Call Blocker App
Call Blocker App helps you manage and block unwanted incoming calls while maintaining a whitelist of approved contacts. It uses web scraping to enhance the call-blocking experience by integrating real-time data from popular spam-detection Spanish websites.
Features:
- Block and Unblock Numbers: Easily block or unblock specific phone numbers.
- Whitelist Management: Maintain a whitelist of phone numbers that are always allowed to reach you.
- Web-Based Number Lookup: Automatically look up phone numbers using two trusted Spanish websites:
- www.listaspam.com
- www.responderono.es
- Real-Time Web Scraping: Leverage web scraping techniques to gather real-time information on whether a number should be blocked.
How It Works
The app uses the JSoup library for web scraping, which allows it to retrieve and parse HTML data from www.listaspam.com and www.responderono.es. This data is then processed to determine whether an incoming call should be blocked or not.
Data Management
- Export: Users can export all their preferences, including settings and black/white lists of numbers, to a file for backup or transfer to another device.
- Import: Previously exported data can be imported, allowing users to quickly set up the app on a new device or restore settings after a reset.
Privacy and Security
This app is designed with user privacy in mind. All data is stored locally on the device, and the app only accesses the internet to perform web scraping for number lookup. No personal data is shared with external servers.
