If you want to open the phone dialer in Android without making an actual call, you can use an Intent
with the ACTION_DIAL
action. This way, the user can review and modify the number before making the call, or even decide not to proceed with the call.
Here's how you can open the dialer:
Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); startActivity(dialIntent);
If you want to open the dialer with a specific number already filled in, you can pass a tel:
URI to the Intent
:
Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber)); startActivity(dialIntent);
Replace phoneNumber
with the actual number you want to dial.
You don't need any special permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml
to use ACTION_DIAL
.
How to launch the phone dialer in Android programmatically:
// Inside your activity or fragment String phoneNumber = "tel:" + "123456789"; // Replace with the desired phone number Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(phoneNumber)); startActivity(dialIntent);
Opening dialer app using Intent in Android:
Intent
. This approach provides a user-friendly way to allow users to make calls without directly initiating them.// Inside your activity or fragment String phoneNumber = "tel:" + "123456789"; // Replace with the desired phone number Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(phoneNumber)); startActivity(dialIntent);
Make sure to replace "123456789"
with the actual phone number you want to pre-fill in the dialer.
