Call intent in Android

Question

How can I make call by pressing button? I get my number as a string from EditText. Here is my sample code:

String phone = editPhone         


        

Answer 1

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse(phone));
startActivity(callIntent);

above is the only method you use for calling a phone number in android, when you click on the call button a 'dilerpad' activty is started with perpopulated phone number, and the call will go if you press the call button on the dialer pad.
