Question

when user start make call, android propose to choice, which app can be using to make call (like Skype). Simple question – how my app can be in that list and how i can get number, which user was put in system dialer?

i was do a all issues, which suggest in both answers, but still, if customer press call on phone dialpad, i still seen :

make call with:
– skype
– phone

and there is no my app inside list.

EDITED

now problem is solved for that code, now my app in list and opened as well: (was wrong > symbol)

  <activity
        android:name=".PhonePadActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL" />
            <data android:scheme="tel" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />
       </intent-filter>


    </activity>

Second part of problem – get phone number, which user was dial in standard dialpad, still not solved:

that code inside onCreated:

Intent intent = getIntent();

String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
Toast.makeText(this, "Call was made to-->>" + number, 5000).show();

gives null.

SECOND EDITION

Last time i was received from Google notification that they are restrict CALL_PRIVILEGED (bcs we are not support emergency calls for them.) Without CALL_PRIVILEGED my app not in list again. Anybody know a fresh solution for that thing? I’m now discussed with google support regarding that issue, we got some iterations without success for now.

Answer 1

Declare your Activity as to add it in option list for calling application

<activity android:name="Makecall" >
        <intent-filter> 

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL" />
           <data android:scheme="tel" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
           <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED" />

        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

and for calling to any Number use Intent.ACTION_DIAL as :

Uri numberuri = Uri.parse("tel:"  + edit_text_number);
Intent intent_call = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, numberuri);
startActivity(intent_call);
