How to make a phone call in android and come back to my activity when the call is done?

Question

I am launching an activity to make a phone call, but when I pressed the \'end call\' button, it does not go back to my activity. Can you please tell me how can I launch a c

Answer 1

Here is my example, first the user gets to write in the number he/she wants to dial and then presses a call button and gets directed to the phone. After call cancelation the user gets sent back to the application. In order to this the button needs to have a onClick method ('makePhoneCall' in this example) in the xml. You also need to register the permission in the manifest.

Manifest

Activity

import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class PhoneCall extends Activity {

    EditText phoneTo;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_phone_call);

        phoneTo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.phoneNumber);

    }
    public void makePhoneCall(View view) {




        try {
            String number = phoneTo.getText().toString();
            Intent phoneIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
            phoneIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+ number));
            startActivity(phoneIntent);


        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            Toast.makeText(PhoneCall.this,
                    "Call failed, please try again later!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

}
