Question

I want to pass a number include “#” to the Android system’s dialer pad. Like the following code I used:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:#123456#"));
mContext.startActivity(intent);

But actually, the number displayed in the dialer pad is “123456”, the “#” has disappeared.
I can’t find what caused this problem, can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Give this a try

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
intent.setData(Uri.fromParts("tel", "#123456#", "#")); 
startActivity(intent);
