Make a Phone Call & Dial Number Using Intent

Intent is asynchronous message between components of application or with other application. Here we will call and feed number to dial-pad from our application to the Android System default Calling application using Intent.

Before moving to the code, we need to implement a run-time permission of android.permission.CALL_PHONE. For detail implementation of run-time, read the blog of Run Time Permission in Android.

Make A Phone Call

Intent call = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL); call .setData(Uri.parse("tel:+923145553299")); startActivity(call); //Note: Replace +923145553299 with your own number

Feed Number to Dial-Pad

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:+923145553299")); startActivity(intent); //Note: Replace +923145553299 with your own number
