Permissions    lt uses-permission android name  android permission CALL PHONE    gt    Intent   Intent callIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION CALL   callIntent setData Uri parse  tel 0377778888     startActivity callIntent

User · Answer

You can use Intent ACTION DIAL instead of Intent ACTION CALL  This shows the dialer with the number already entered  but allows the user to decide whether to actually make the call or not  ACTION DIAL does not require the CALL PHONE permission

For making a call activity using intents, you should request the proper permissions.

For that you include uses permissions in AndroidManifest.xml file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

Then include the following code in your activity

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mActivity,
        Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    //Creating intents for making a call
    Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:123456789"));
    mActivity.startActivity(callIntent);

}else{
    Toast.makeText(mActivity, "You don't assign permission.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

IMPORTANT NOTE  If you use Intent ACTION CALL you must add CALL PHONE permission  Its okey only if you don t want your app to show up in google play for tablets that doesn t take SIM card or doesn t have GSM  IN YOUR ACTIVITY              Intent callIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION CALL               callIntent setData Uri parse  quot tel  quot    Constants CALL CENTER NUMBER                startActivity callIntent    MANIFEST   lt uses-permission android name  quot android permission CALL PHONE quot    gt   So if it is not critical feature to your app  try to stay away from adding CALL PHONE permission  OTHER SOLUTION  Is to show the Phone app with the number written in on the screen  so user will only need to click call button              Intent dialIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION DIAL               dialIntent setData Uri parse  quot tel  quot    Constants CALL CENTER NUMBER                startActivity dialIntent    No permission needed for this

Use the action ACTION DIAL in your intent  this way you won t need any permission  The reason you need the permission with ACTION CALL is to make a phone call without any action from the user   Intent intent   new Intent Intent ACTION DIAL   intent setData Uri parse  tel 0987654321     startActivity intent

In Android for certain functionalities you need to add the permission to the Manifest file.

Go to the Projects AndroidManifest.xml
Click on the Permissions Tab
Click on Add
Select Uses Permission
See the snapshot below

6.Save the manifest file and then run your project. Your project now should run as expected.

To avoid this - one can use the GUI for entering permissions  Eclipse take care of where to insert the permission tag and more often then not is correct

User · Answer

Just the simple oneliner without any additional permissions needed:

private void dialContactPhone(final String phoneNumber) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.fromParts("tel", phoneNumber, null)));
}
