Question

I am trying to make a call with a long number that looks something like this.

tel:[phone],,,32343#,,,#

with code that looks like this.

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(number);
        intent.setData(uri);
        startActivity(intent);

What I see is that, the phone does not dial after the first ‘#’ sigh. Any one knows how to make this to work.

Thanks.

How I got this to work was to use ‘;’ (semicolon) for the hard wait instead of the ‘w’, and ‘,’ (comma) for the pause, and then encode the phone number first, like this –

Uri.parse(String.format("tel:%s", Uri.encode(number)))
