Failure to pass # as input in dialer application

I am building an android dialer application, but when my input contains string of form *123# the number which gets dialed is *123.
How can I pass # also in the dialer application?
Below is the code:
public void onDial(View v) {
if (input.getText().length() <3) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Please Enter the Valid Number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
String hash = input.getText().toString();
if (hash.contains("#")) {
hash.replace("#", "%23");
}
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + hash));
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
startActivity(intent);
}else{
requestCallPermission();
}
}
}

You where close! Encoding will work, but the replace method returns a new string! :-)
if (hash.contains("#")) {
hash = hash.replace("#", "%23"); // Need to set the hash reference to the new string generated by replace()!
}
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + hash));

A user is somehow accessing Pro features in the Free version

I have constants set up for my Flavor names:
public static final String FLAVOR_NAME_PRO = "pro";
public static final String FLAVOR_NAME_FREE = "free";
Inside my Activity's onCreate() I assign the boolean mUsingProFlavor a value:
mUsingProFlavor = BuildConfig.FLAVOR.equals(FLAVOR_NAME_PRO);
In a clickListener created later on I have this:
if (mUsingProFlavor) {
customerId = getCustomerId();
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CustomerProfileActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("customerId", customerId);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
showProOnlyFeatureAlertDialog(MainActivity.this, mAlertDialog);
}
This is the only way for the user to access CustomerProfileActivity, and yet somehow I'm getting crash reports indicating that one of my Free users is crashing inside of CustomerProfileActivity.
Any idea how this could happen?

if (mUsingProFlavor) {
customerId = getCustomerId();
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CustomerProfileActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("customerId", customerId);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
showProOnlyFeatureAlertDialog(MainActivity.this, mAlertDialog);
}
Your -> if(mUsingProFlavor) is the issue here.
Since mUsingProFlavor is a String, you have to modify your if-check. Currently it is acting as boolean.
if (mUsingProFlavor.equals("pro")) {
customerId = getCustomerId();
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CustomerProfileActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("customerId", customerId);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
showProOnlyFeatureAlertDialog(MainActivity.this, mAlertDialog);
}

How to open maps and calls using ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH

I am developing a code in which the app takes input as speech and does the specific tasks.
I have got the code from changing speech to text but I am not able to put a if condition to create calls or open maps
here is a piece of code after getting text
case RESULT_SPEECH: {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
ArrayList<String> text = data
.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
Text.setText(text.get(0));
String check = text.get(0);
if(check.equals("call")){
System.out.println("yes calling");
}
}
break;
}
Here I am performing if condition if he says call it should print "yes calling" but its not printing. what should I do?

Okay you can do it.
case RESULT_SPEECH: {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
ArrayList<String> text = data
.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
Text.setText(text.get(0));
String check = text.get(0);
if(check.equals("call")){
Intent intent = new Intent(package name for app);
try{
startActivity(intent);
}catch(ActivityNotFoundException e){
}
}
}
break;
}

Value in JSON Object not being accessed

I have JSON Object contacts which Looks like so {"email":"Mark#HookahStationBCS.com","phone":"+19796918899"}In my code I grab the phone key and am able to get it's value, but then when I print out the email value it says it's null, and in my code below it doesn't actually pass the termination case. Does anyone know why?
if(nextActivityObject.getJSONObject("contacts") != null){
Log.d("NEXT ACTIVITY OBJECT NOT EMPTY", "NOT EMPTY");
contacts = nextActivityObject.getJSONObject("contacts");
if(contacts.getString("phone") != null){
phone = contacts.getString("phone");
Log.d("PHONE PASSED", phone.toString());
intent.putExtra("phone",phone);
} else if(contacts.getString("email") != null){
email = contacts.getString("email");
Log.d("THIS IS THE EMAIL PASS", email.toString());
intent.putExtra("email", email);
}
}

I think your code should be something like this:
if (nextActivityObject.getJSONObject("contacts") != null){
Log.d("NEXT ACTIVITY OBJECT NOT EMPTY", "NOT EMPTY");
contacts = nextActivityObject.getJSONObject("contacts");
if(contacts.getString("phone") != null && contacts.getString("email") != null){
phone = contacts.getString("phone");
email = contacts.getString("email");
intent.putExtra("phone",phone);
intent.putExtra("email",email);
}
else if (contacts.getString("phone") != null){
phone= contacts.getString("phone");
intent.putExtra("phone", phone);
}
else if (contacts.getString("email") != null){
email = contacts.getString("email");
intent.putExtra("email", email);
}
}

You have an elseif condition.. You have to have 2 if conditions. I am pretty much saying what the previous poster said, just wording it differently.

Android SMS Broadcast Receiver checking message format

Iam building Android application that checks the format of the received message
if it starts with $A its starts Activity A and send the content of the message to Activity A
if it starts with $B it starts Activity B and send the content of the message to Activity B
Please Any help

You can do it like this
if(messages.getMessageBody().contains("$A")) {
//Write your code here
}
else if(messages.getMessageBody().contains("$B")) {
//Write your code here
}
And to pass data to the next activity,do it like this,,
Intent i = new Intent(FirstScreen.this, SecondScreen.class);
i.putExtra("STRING_I_NEED", strName);
Then, to retrieve the value try something like:
String newString;
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if(extras == null) {
newString= null;
} else {
newString= extras.getString("STRING_I_NEED");
}
} else {
newString= (String) savedInstanceState.getSerializable("STRING_I_NEED");
}
