You Make the Call!

You Make the Call!

You can also initiate a call from your application, such as from a phone number you obtained through your own Web service. To do this, simply craft an ACTION_DIAL Intent with a Uri of the form tel:NNNNN (where NNNNN is the phone number to dial) and use that Intent with startActivity(). This will not actually dial the phone; rather, it activates the dialer activity, from which the user can then press a button to place the call.

For example, let’s look at the Phone/Dialer sample application. Here’s the crude-but-effective layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
 <LinearLayout
  android:orientation="horizontal"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 >
  <TextView
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="Number to dial:"
  />
  <EditText android:id="@+id/number"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:cursorVisible="true"
   android:editable="true"
   android:singleLine="true"
  />
 </LinearLayout>
 <Button android:id="@+id/dial"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  android:text="Dial It!"
 />
</LinearLayout>

We have a labeled field for typing in a phone number, plus a button for dialing said number.

The Java code simply launches the dialer using the phone number from the field:

package com.commonsware.android.dialer;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class DialerDemo extends Activity {
 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
  super.onCreate(icicle);
  setContentView(R.layout.main);
  final EditText number = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.number);
  Button dial = (Button)findViewById(R.id.dial);
  dial.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View v) {
    String toDial = "tel:" + number.getText().toString();
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL,
     Uri.parse(toDial)));
   }
  });
 }
}

The activity’s own UI is not that impressive as shown in Figure 35-1.

However, the dialer you get from clicking the dial button is better, showing you the number you are about to dial in Figure 35-2.
