Answer 4

Add this attribute to your textview component within the XML layout file like this:

<TextView 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:autoLink="phone"
    android:text="123 123 1234" />

Answer 5

this work for me :)

<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:autoLink="phone" android:background="#ADD8E6" android:text="555-468-0602" />

Answer 6

Add permission to call in AndroidManifest.xml file.

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

In your textview of your layout.xml file

<TextView
        android:clickable="true"
        android:autoLink="phone"
        ...
        ...
        .../>

In your activity class. Run-time permission check added.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 22) {

            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MoreProgramDetailActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, 101);

                return;
            }
            Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
            callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:+" + phoneTV.getText().toString().trim()));
            startActivity(callIntent);
 } else {

            Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
            callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:+" + phoneTV.getText().toString().trim()));
            startActivity(callIntent);
 }
