I am using the codes below but my app force closes independently which one use. These are from several examples found on the net but none of them is working:

The semes2 variable is a phone number retrieved from the ContactsContract and is not null (verified by Toast msg).

Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("tel", semes2, null);
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, uri);
callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(callIntent);

or

Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:6365551212"));
startActivity(dialIntent);

or

Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel://" + semes2)); 
dialIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(dialIntent);

In the manifest i have <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>

What am i missing?

Edit: logcat:

    Found the solution. Instead of ACTION_CALL i should have used ACTION_DIAL. I can also remove the // after tel:, it doesn’t matter. So e.g.

    Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + semes2));
startActivity(intent);

    However, the 2nd example is still force closes even though it has ACTION DIAL.
