Android Making a Call Only Works the Second Time

So I'm making a Speech to Text app using the voice assistant. I'm trying to make a phone call feature so the user can speak a number and it will call it.
I'm almost there but the number only rings the second time I speak it. The first time it says "Call not sent".
I figured out the reason for this is; when the user speaks the number it's not updating the variable first and then calling the "call" function. I've tried almost everything but it doesn't update the variable correctly.
I.e.
private TextView txtSpeechInput;
public String num = "123";
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch (requestCode) {
case REQ_CODE_SPEECH_INPUT: {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
ArrayList<String> result = data
.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
txtSpeechInput.setText(result.get(0).replaceAll("\\s+", ""));
num = txtSpeechInput.getText().toString();
}
break;
}
}
}
public void dialPhoneNumber(String phone) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phone));
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
startActivity(intent);
}
return ;
}
}
private void processResult(String command) {
command = command.toLowerCase();
if(command.indexOf("time") != -1) {
Date now = new Date();
String time = DateUtils.formatDateTime(this, now.getTime(), DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_TIME);
speak("The time is " + time);
}
if(command.indexOf("date") != -1) {
String date = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(new Date());
speak("The date is " + date);
}
else if (command.indexOf("open") != -1) {
if(command.indexOf("browser") != -1) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.google.co.uk/"));
startActivity(intent);
}
}
if(command.indexOf("call") != -1) {
promptSpeechInput();
try {
Thread.sleep(18000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
dialPhoneNumber(num);
}
}
In this code, wen the use says "make a call" it opens another prompt to take the speech input. Stores it in txtSpeechInput (Where it says results.get0) and then at that stage I update the "num" variable and convert it to a string.
It then runs dialPhoneNumber
Now let's say I run it the first time and speak "07123456789", it will say call not sent because its trying to call the default 123, if i speak it again or a different number then it will ring the 07123456789.
How and why does it not update before calling the phone feature?

Based on danny117's comment...
promptSpeechInput();
try {
Thread.sleep(18000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
dialPhoneNumber(num);
promptSpeechInput starts a new activity, and the result from that activity is the spoken text? If that's right, then why are you prompting for input, sleeping for 18 seconds (never sleep on the main thread by the way), and then assuming your input is ready? As danny says, prompting for input should be the last thing that if block does. Dialing the number should be initiated from onActivityResult.
Also, why is there a default phone number of "123"? That will never be correct, so is not a sensible default. And to reiterate, if you are putting the thread to sleep for a fixed amount of time waiting for something else to happen, you're almost certainly approaching it the wrong way. And if you're putting the main thread to sleep in Android you're absolutely doing it the wrong way.

It is possible open s health application from another application and setting data input

I want to know if it is possible to open my s health application (of my android smartphone), from another my application (android) that I'm building now.
But I want besides open the app, also set some data to this app, for example I want to set the aims, or any data. It is possible to do this?

It is possible to do this?
Yes!!
If you know the package name of the other app, here is an example which is tested and working!!!!!
(This demonstrates how to send a simple String value,modify params as you want )
openApp(yourActivity.this,"other.app.package.name","Hey I am coming catch me");
`
public static boolean openApp(Context context, String packageName,String dataNeedToPass) {
PackageManager manager = context.getPackageManager();
try {
Intent i = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
if (i == null) {
return false;
//pkg Name Not Found
}
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
i.putExtra("KEY", dataNeedToPass);
context.startActivity(i);
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
}
and in the launcher activity of the other side/app get the bundle
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if(bundle !=null){
String myString = bundle.getString("KEY");
}
p.s : If you want to send data make sure also the other app is modified and ready to catch!

Android Espresso 2 end phone call

In my app, I have a button that pops up a dialog "Call xxxx-xxxx" Yes / No. After clicking Yes the number shall be called.
This is the test code:
#Test
public void testPhoneButton() {
clickContactTab();
ViewInteraction phoneButtonInteraction = Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withId(R.id.button_phone));
phoneButtonInteraction.perform(ViewActions.scrollTo());
phoneButtonInteraction.perform(ViewActions.click());
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withText(R.string.dialog_phone_title)).inRoot(RootMatchers.isDialog()).check(ViewAssertions.matches(ViewMatchers.isDisplayed()));
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withId(android.R.id.button2)).perform(ViewActions.click());
Intents.assertNoUnverifiedIntents();
phoneButtonInteraction.perform(ViewActions.click());
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withId(android.R.id.button1)).perform(ViewActions.click());
Intents.intended(Matchers.allOf(IntentMatchers.hasAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL), IntentMatchers.hasData(Uri.parse("tel:" + tel))));
}
Everything works fine, but how can I cancel the phone call after the test?
yogurtearls answer works for me, thanks:
#Test
public void testPhoneButton() {
clickContactTab();
ViewInteraction phoneButtonInteraction = Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withId(R.id.button_phone));
phoneButtonInteraction.perform(ViewActions.scrollTo());
phoneButtonInteraction.perform(ViewActions.click());
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withText(R.string.dialog_phone_title)).inRoot(RootMatchers.isDialog()).check(ViewAssertions.matches(ViewMatchers.isDisplayed()));
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withId(android.R.id.button2)).perform(ViewActions.click());
Intents.assertNoUnverifiedIntents();
phoneButtonInteraction.perform(ViewActions.click());
Intent stubIntent = new Intent();
Instrumentation.ActivityResult stubResult = new Instrumentation.ActivityResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, stubIntent);
Intents.intending(IntentMatchers.hasAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL)).respondWith(stubResult);
Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withId(android.R.id.button1)).perform(ViewActions.click());
Intents.intended(Matchers.allOf(IntentMatchers.hasAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL), IntentMatchers.hasData(Uri.parse("tel:" + tel))));
}

You should use Intent stubbing.
You can avoid actually bringing up the dialer, and instead check that the right intent was sent.
Before you click the yes button, call intendING .

Make phone call without getting phone number (click icon to call) in android?

I'm currently working on my 2nd program and stuck with phone calling, sending SMS, emailing, and showing location using Google Map. I'm using ImageButtons for all of these. User doesn't need to type any numbers or addresses (not using EditText to get user input). However, it doesn't work.
For example, when user click on Phone icon, it will make a call. However, I still need a user input (the actual message, not the destination number or email address) for sending SMS and email. I can do it if I use EditText. However, without using EditText, I cannot do it. How do I do this? I've added users permission in manifest file.
PhoneActivity .java
public class PhoneActivity extends Activity {
ImageButton btnphonecall;
String phoneNumber = "091111111";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_phone);
btnphonecall=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
btnphonecall.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
i.setData(Uri.parse("091111111"));
PhoneActivity.this.startActivity(i);
//I've tried startActivity(i) along but still doesn't work
}
});
}

Use this:
Uri number = Uri.parse("tel:"+091111111 );
Intent dial = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,
number);
dial.setPackage("com.android.phone");
PhoneActivity.this.startActivity(dial);

Try this:
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:"+phoneNumber));
startActivity(callIntent);

How to Make a Call directly in Android

I know it was very simple to do it but I come across a very strange issue. I have to call Police in danger Situation by just tapping a button. So I have used following code to call.
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:100"));
callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
ctx.startActivity(callIntent);
Added CALL_PHONE permission in AndroidManifest.xml. The Issue is that it is opening the 100 on Dial Pad but not making call directly. I want that to happen immediately when user clicks on the button.
When I tried to to put +91 before 100 it is calling the number automatically but why plus is required for such numbers. So Someone help me how to solve this issue

From the documentation of ACTION_CALL:
Note: there will be restrictions on which applications can initiate a call; most applications should use the ACTION_DIAL.
Note: this Intent cannot be used to call emergency numbers. Applications can dial emergency numbers using ACTION_DIAL, however.
So it seems this behavior is on purpose.

There could be a problem that the android system doesnt recognize 100 as a valid phone number, instead if you put the country code before it then it works fine. TO solve such issue take a look at this library libnhonenumber. You could use it something like this
public static ArrayList<String> extractPhoneNumber(String content) {
ArrayList<String> numbers = new ArrayList<String>(0);
PhoneNumberUtil instance = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
//Change IT with your contry code
Iterable<PhoneNumberMatch> matches = instance.findNumbers(content, "IT");
Iterator<PhoneNumberMatch> iterator = matches.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
numbers.add(instance.format(iterator.next().number(), PhoneNumberFormat.INTERNATIONAL));
}
return numbers;
}

private void phoneCall()
{
String phoneCallUri = "tel:91";
Intent phoneCallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
phoneCallIntent.setData(Uri.parse(phoneCallUri));
startActivity(phoneCallIntent);
}

Best way to directly call without user intervention..
String uri = "tel:" + num.trim();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(intent);

There are two intents to call/start calling: ACTION_CALL and ACTION_DIAL.
ACTION_DIAL will only open the dialer with the number filled in, but allows the user to actually call or reject the call. ACTION_CALL will immediately call the number and requires an extra permission.
So make sure you have the permission

A Long time passed. But may help someone else.
If you want to call directly, you should use requestPermissions method.
1. Add this line to your manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
2. Define a class variable in the activity class:
private static Intent phoneCallIntent; //If use don't need a member variable is good to use a static variable for memory performance.
3. Add these lines to the onCreate method of the activity:
final String permissionToCall = Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE;
//Assume that you have a phone icon.
(findViewById(R.id.menuBarPhone)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View view) {
phoneCallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
phoneCallIntent.setData(Uri.parse(getString(R.string.callNumber))); //Uri.parse("tel:your number")
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainFrame.this, permissionToCall) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainFrame.this, new String[]{permissionToCall}, 1);
return;
}
startActivity(phoneCallIntent);
}
});
4. And for making a call immediately after clicking on Allow button, override onRequestPermissionsResult method:
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults){
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if(requestCode == 1){
final int permissionsLength = permissions.length;
for (int i = 0; i < permissionsLength; i++) {
if(grantResults[i] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
startActivity(phoneCallIntent);
}
}
}
When a user give the permission, next time there will be no dialogue box and call will be make directly.
