Type a phone number intent

Question

How can I make my app type a given phone number without calling? I use:

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phone));
startActivity(callIntent);

But that statement makes a call too.

Answer 1

You're using ACTION_CALL. You need to use ACTION_DIAL instead.

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phone));
startActivity(callIntent);

Answer 2

Replace Intent.ACTION_CALL with Intent.ACTION_DIAL
