In android programming, is it possible to make a phone call within a service without showing the 'phone call screen'? Any example would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

That depends on what you consider the "phone call screen" to be.
If you mean the dialer, then, yes, you can use an ACTION_CALL Intent to bypass that, assuming that you hold the CALL_PHONE permission.
If you mean the in-call screen then, no, AFAIK there is no way to avoid that screen. That screen is rather important for the user.

I am starting the work on the application where one of the functionalities is let's say, "context call", so app will let the user call someone on the fly.
Due to the nature of the app (used on car holder mostly), it would be nice to not leave the application (to not loose map view etc) while calling.
Is it possible at all? If so, how?
All that I am finding is triggering "normal" call which of course, leaves the app in the background.
I am not sure but maybe this package can help https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_callkeep.
Is there a way to use default incoming call screen with its functionality (answer and reject) from inside my application.
I want to make fake call from inside my application and i don't want to create custom incoming screen but use default incoming call screen on device because different devices have different incoming screens.
No, this can't be done using the standard SDK. First, the call screen activity can only be launched by the system. Second, vendor-specific skins of Android often replace the default phone app with a custom one, so it's unlikely you'd be able to do this on all devices with just a single piece of code even if it were possible.
Your best bet would be to try to recreate the incoming call screen for the most popular devices and detect which device the user is running, which I know isn't what you wanted to hear. Sorry.
I need to figure out how to harness the power of the CALL_PRIVILEGED Permission in my app.
The basic layout is that when I activate the code it just goes to the Dialer with the number preloaded.
How do i bypass the dialer and just make the call?
You want your app to make a direct call?
Take a look at Intent.ACTION_CALL (ACTION_DAIL will show the number before calling).
EDIT: ACTION_CALL won't call emergency numbers.
Actually this changed from version to version of Android, so it could be that it works with 2.1 but not with 4.0.

I am working on android. when a calls comes in, I want to replace the default android call screen with a new screen that has answer and deny call options. How can I do that? Need some help. Any help appreciated.
Do I have to use a toast message for this?
I do have the incoming and outgoing classes.
As far as my understanding goes it is not possible to replace the call screen with an App that is installed over the Marketplace.
To do this you would at least require root permissions. Maybe you also need to reconfigure the Android Version installed on the phone.
Currently creating a VOIP application for Android and I was wondering is there any possible way to supress the In Call Dialog when sending a call over GSM and use our own 3rd party In Call Dialog or screen instead?
At the minute when we switch from our VOIP call and send it over GSM via the ACTION_CALL intent it does everything we want except it brings up the native In Call screen whereas we want our own In Call screen to display here.
So I was wondering what kind of options we would have on this?
What would you reccomend we look into doing?
Thanks in advance
Unless you are running your app on a rooted device, you cannot supress the native in call screen, nor the native calling screen.
