Is it possible to make a direct call?

We know you can open a call application using this code:

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:0377778888")));

Is it possible to make a direct call without having to go through the default application of the device?

Yes, You can do it by just replacing Intent.ACTION_DIAL with Intent.ACTION_CALL in your code. And you must need the CALL permission to the app. For below Marshmallow devices you can make it by simply placing the below line in your manifest under manifest tag

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />.

But for Marshmallow or above OS devices you need to declare the permission in manifest like below

<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

And you need to ask the user Runtime permission for CALL_PHONE access. To request permission

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHPNE})

To check permission

ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
                Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)
        != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED

This code snippet makes the direct call:

// Check the SDK version and whether the permission is already granted or not.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_PHONE_CALL);
} else {
    //Open call function
    String phone = "7769942159";
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:+91" + phone));
    startActivity(intent);
}

Use this permission in manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

 Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,Uri.parse("tel:"+phno);
 startActivity(intent);

Android Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>
