Question

My droid app has a button on the main page that gives you an dialogue popup page and asks within the dialogue page whether you want to make a phone call or not

Ive tried and over and over and haven’t quite figured out how to get the button to make a phone call

My opening java page
package your.package2.phonecalls;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class ButtonphonecallsActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Button TheCallButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.phonecallbutton);  
    TheCallButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  

        public void onClick(View v) {
            final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(ButtonphonecallsActivity.this);
            dialog.setContentView(R.layout.alertphonecall);
            dialog.setTitle("Zohan contact number");

            Button Nosir = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.nobutton);  
            Nosir.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  
                @Override               
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    dialog.cancel();
                    } 
            });   

            Button Yessir = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.yesbutton);
            Yessir.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                @Override               
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    dialog.cancel();
                    startActivity(new Intent(ButtonphonecallsActivity.this, makingaphonecall.class));        
                }
            });

            dialog.show();
        }
    });
}
}

The phone call activity

package your.package2.phonecalls;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ActivityNotFoundException;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class makingaphonecall extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    call();
}

private void call() {
try {
    Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:[phone]"));
    startActivity(callIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityException) {
     Log.e("helloandroid dialing example", "Call failed");
}
}

}

android manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name=".makeaphonecall"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
    </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

Why r u making a separate activity to make a phone call? Simply add below two lines into your onclick.

Intent dialer = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,Uri.parse("tel:[phone]"));
startActivity(dialer);
