Android Programmers: Problem In ACTION_CALL by chukstem(op): 4:41am On Dec 14, 2015
Plz i am new to android.
I am having prob trying to initiate this as it removes the # from the string.
It will only dial *556.
try { String uri = "tel: *556#";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Exception", e.getMessage()); }
all comments are welcomed
Re: Android Programmers: Problem In ACTION_CALL by Nobody:
private void call() {

Intent phoneIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
phoneIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:05966667888" ));
try{
startActivity(intent);
}

Re: Android Programmers: Problem In ACTION_CALL by Nobody:
@Override
public void onClick( ) {
// TODO Auto-
generated method stub

String ussd = "*556*"
+ Uri.encode("#" ) ;
startActivity(new Intent
(Intent.ACTION_CALL,
Uri.parse("tel:" +
ussd)));
