I am developing a simple android application for my job
There is a button that when clicked fires an ACTION_CALL intent to a series of phone numbers. the problem is, my phone is opening skype to try and make the call and I want it to use the built in native phone app. this is the code that runs the intent call:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:989653523"));
startActivity(intent);
I realize that "tel:" protocol can work for both Skype and the native Phone app but how can I make it so the app can always open it using the native phone app?
Well, you need to make an explicit intent call.
Intent i=new Intent (this,theActivityYouWantToStart.class);

Hi I want with the press of the button to either call a phone number or make a Skype call.
To make the call I use:
Intent phone= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + "+30 6********7"));
startActivity(phone);
Which pops a Window and let me choose from phone app or Skype. When I choose Skype it tries to make a call with Skype founds and not VoIP Skype call.
I found out that for Skype I need to use :
Intent skype = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
skype.setData(Uri.parse("skype:" + "user_name"));
startActivity(skype);
Is there a way to chain those two intents and whenever I choose phone app to run phone Intent and whenever I choose Skype to run Skype Intent ?
I know I can make a custom dialog to choose Intent to run and exclude Skype app from Intent phone
But I was wondering if there is a more elegant way built in android or even if I can make the VoIp call from the number it self (finding the user from phone).
Thank you in advance
I have implemented how to make a call in android, it working now but I need choose option before making call if any third party dials app is available in my phone, is it possible do this,
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + "mobilePhone"));
context.startActivity(intent);
As a measure of security android does not allow dialing app, i mean you can design your own dialing app and contacts etc but you can only go as far as "dialing the number", all calling etc is done by the system own app
if you want to build the app you need only call this
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:The telephone number to call"));
startActivity(callIntent);
After this android will take over control and make the call
Do not forget the permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE">
I am creating an application from which the user can call people. In this application I would like to give the option of using either the phone's dialer or other VOIP applications such as Skype or Lync (which incidentally are both Microsoft software). My only problem is that they don't seem to be registered to listen for android.intent.action.CALL (this gives me the phone), but only for android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED - via which I cannot reach the phone's dialer (I'm guessing that's the privileged part). I'm developing on a stock Nexus 4 btw.
Is there a pretty way that I can launch my intent and be given the option of both the dialer and also Skype/Lync?
Right now my calling the intent looks like this:
Uri numberUri = Uri.parse("tel:" + number);
final Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED");
intent.setData(numberUri);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
Feel free exchange the contents of the intent for Intent.ACTION_CALL - I'm doing it all the time at the moment.
Sorry Dear this cannot be possible.
I am developing an Answering Machine application.
Basically it has to automatically accept the call, give a voice message and start recording the call.
I have designed an application to automatically answer to calls and another application to record calls. Individually both the apps work fine. But after i merged them the application crashes.
I saw a an example here :Combine 2 android apps. I merged the apps same way but still the application crashes.
How can I properly merge my apps?
Try
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setClassName("com.example.package", "com.example.package.ActivityToStart");
startActivity(intent);
or
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
Intent intent = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.example.package");
startActivity(intent);
to invoke 2 apps. And retrieve files from their default save location.
I'm trying to make a call from my android app using the code below
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:123456789"));
startActivity(callIntent);
Now i'm able to make a call from my device successfully but my requirement is that when the receiver of call (i.e. phone with number 123456789 )....picks the call he should be able to hear some custom message.....this custom message i should be able to give from my andriod app .....is it possible ?...any ideas ?
