Answer 1

@Dmitri Novikov, FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP clears any active instance on top of the new one. So, it may end the old instance before it completes the process.

Answer 2

When PhoneStateListener is used, one need to make sure PHONE_STATE_IDLE following a PHONE_STATE_OFFHOOK is used to trigger the action to be done after the call. If the trigger happens upon seeing PHONE_STATE_IDLE, you will end up doing it before the call. Because you will see the state change PHONE_STATE_IDLE -> PHONE_STATE_OFFHOOK -> PHONE_STATE_IDLE.

Answer 3

you can use startActivityForResult()

Answer 4

Try using:

finish();

at the end of activity. It will redirect you to your previous activity.

Answer 5

Add this is your xml: android:autoLink="phone"

Answer 6

This is regarding the question asked by Starter.

The problem with your code is that you are not passing the number properly.

The code should be:

private OnClickListener next = new OnClickListener() {

     public void onClick(View v) {
        EditText num=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText01); 
        String number = "tel:" + num.getText().toString().trim();
        Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(number)); 
        startActivity(callIntent);
    }
};

Do not forget to add the permission in manifest file.

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

or

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

for emergency number in case DIAL is used.
