Answer 1

This is how you call a number ending with '#' using android dialer. You need to encode and then parse.

Try the below code,

String text = et.getText().toString();

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:" + Uri.encode("*221*" + text + "#")));
startActivity(intent);
