I have following simple method in my main activity.
private void showMap(String name ) {
String thePlace = name.replaceAll(" ", "+");
Intent intent= new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=" + thePlace+ "" ));
startActivity(intent);
}
And in my manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
But when I run the app in emulator, it crashed and according to Log, it says
No activity found to handle the intent
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Is geolocation enabled in emulator settings?
Well, the Maps app isn't installed on the emulator, so the message that it's giving you pretty much explains the problem. There isn't anything setup on the emulator to handle that kind of intent...

hello i have this link in my website <a href='tel: 123456789'>1234</a> and i am converting the website into android APP everything works fine but this tel link gives me webpage not available how can i make this to call the phone instead of treating this as a link in android app.
i have already added
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
i dont know how to fix this link issue should i use any javascript or something ??
With what I understand, you want to call the number when someone clicks it, you can use this code:
String uri = "tel:" + "NUMBER-GOES-HERE" ;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(intent);
Don't forget to add permission before the <application /> tag:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
This is an example of a code for creating a direct shortcut that calls a specific number and which works on Android M and below.
public void installShortcutGetId(){
Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME,"MyCallShortcut");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:77777777")));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(context, android.R.drawable.sym_def_app_icon));
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
The same code doesn't work anymore on Android N, I can see in the logcat the following:
/com.android.launcher3 E/InstallShortcutReceiver: Ignoring malicious intent tel:77777777#Intent;action=android.intent.action.CALL;end
If I change ACTION_CALL to ACTION_DIAL, it works on Android N but that's not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to make a direct call through the shortcut.
In terms of permissions, I have these 2 included and CALL_PHONE requested at run-time.
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
Just because your app has the CALL_PHONE permission doesn't mean the launcher has that permission: that's why your shortcut cannot be created.
You could instead create a shortcut to an empty activity of your own and start the ACTION_CALL Intent from that activity.
I tried to make a call when I click on Android Mobile field with this code
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+contactNo));
startActivity(callIntent);
And added these in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="packagename.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
And finally I am getting **java.lang.SecurityException** exception.
Why it Happens? and What is the Correct Procedure to Make a Call when click on Contact field?
use Intent.ACTION_DIAL instead of Intent.ACTION_CALL
And action_dial does not need permission, and it will show dialed phone number to user on dialer and then it will be users wish to place a call or not. This will be better approach to give user a control of what they wants to do.
hope that will help you
In order to use Intent.ACTION_CALL you have to add a permission to your manifest.
Add this permission to your manifest and it should be ok
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
I want to show place picker so that user can choose location of his/her own choice. But place picker child activity automatically closes after launch. I've check the API key multiple times and other permissions, everything is correct. Here is all the code. Please help!
task_location.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
PlacePicker.IntentBuilder intentBuilder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();
Intent intent = intentBuilder.build(NewTaskActivity.this);
// Start the Intent by requesting a result, identified by a request code.
startActivityForResult(intent, 123);
} catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {
GooglePlayServicesUtil
.getErrorDialog(e.getConnectionStatusCode(), NewTaskActivity.this, 0);
} catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
Toast.makeText(NewTaskActivity.this, "Google Play Services is not available.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
}
});
And here is the menifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
tools:replace="android:icon">

android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data

android:value="AIzaSyAjM9hWUXm8vlABqFbM_fJfQgIFli8HP1E"/>
Please check the logcat of your app for 'PLACES_API_ACCESS_NOT_CONFIGURED' message. If this is the case, enabling the Google Places API for Android in your Google Developer Console for this project should solve your problem.
After A lot of debugging i solved it myself. The problem was package name..Android studio manage package name by itself on project creation. I change the package name in manifest and it was working perfectly fine. but when i get API key from google developers console for place picker, place picker automatically closes without a single character of error.
Then I change the package name by going into -> Module Settings -> Flavors and change the Application ID and it fix the problem.
Make sure that Google Places API is enabled for the API key that you are using in Google API console. For me, I am using the same API key that I use for maps. I just enabled the same key for places api also. That solved my problem.
Use this link to access the Google console: https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=placesandroid&reusekey=true
Solved problem by just changing the API key
You can create a new key from here
Instead of enabling the places API, Enable the places SDK for android. Worked for me.
Good Luck :)
Enable both places API as well as Places sdk
I am developing an app and in the manifest I have:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>
When I click on the button to execute this code:
Intent intentcall = new Intent();
intentcall.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intentcall.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phonenumber)); // set the Uri
startActivity(intentcall);
It will run fine on phones, and on tablets it pops up with a display where you can view or add the number to contacts. However, if I keep the permission in the manifest, it isn't available for tablets in the market. How can I keep the code behavior and still have it display in the market for tablets as well as phones?
In the AndroidManifest you need:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />
The CALL_PHONE permission implies telephony is required, but if you specify that is not you won't be filtered.
Try to use Intent.ACTION_DIAL instead Intent.ACTION_CALL.
For example:
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phone_number));
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
//TODO smth
}
And in this case you can completely remove these tags from AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />
Regarding "uses-feature" and it crashing - are you checking that telephony is available before actually making the call? It might be you need to do that extra step for the case when the app is on tablets. All you are saying in the manifest is that the feature is not required. It probably relies on you to actually implement the logic around that.
Instead of adding a user with the ACTION_CALL identifier, change it to ACTION_INSERT_OR_EDIT.
You'll need these permissions too, instead of the CALL_PHONE permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"></uses-permission>
Take a look at this related question:
can't find app on market
From google docs:
Declared elements are informational only, meaning that
the Android system itself does not check for matching feature support
on the device before installing an application
usage is only for google play
