In some of the apps that we develop we may need to make a call through it. This could easily be done by using implicit Intent with appropriate actions.We can use Android Intent to make phone call by calling built-in Phone Call functionality of the Android.In my code i will be using ACTION_DIAL where we will be having option to modify hard coded phone number before making a call instead of making direct call.
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, number);
Following code snippet shows how to use Android Intent to make phone call to the given mobile number.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Button callbutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.callbtn);
callbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Uri number = Uri.parse("tel:0123456789");
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, number);
startActivity(callIntent);
}
});
}
We need to add the following button code in xml:
<Button
android:id="@+id/callbtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="130dp"
android:text="0123456789"
/>
