Re: [android-developers] How to call from Android Native Dialers, ignore other dialers
Although i agree with your statement that such an app can be really annoying, depending on what needs to be done. this might be mandatory.
-- A good example of that is a number verification process, where the app needs to verify the phone number used on the device. The best way to avoid getting the 1 star rating is explain to the user that the outgoing call with be through the native dialer and that this is mandatory for the app to operate. A reasonable user shouldn't get pissed over that :)

While that package name may be correct on the devices you tested, there is no guarantee that it will be correct on ALL Android devices. Here is an example from StackOverflow where the OP was having a problem using the "com.android.phone" package:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11038286/android- phone-application-intent Hardware manufacturers can modify the Android OS pretty much however they want. If they happen to use the com.android.phone package name then that is merely a coincidence... nothing is stopping them from changing it to something else should they choose to do so.
I understand that there are product requirements that sometimes tie your hands... However, in general I have found that when I receive a product requirement that goes against Android best practices I am usually able to explain why it isn't a good idea and am able to get the product requirement changed. Sometimes I am successful but there have been times it didn't work... it would be worth a try.

I think the package name (com.android.phone) is same on all devices as I checked or debug but the dialer package names are different. As I got this package name have one OutgoingCallBroadcast class which broadcast the Intent.ACTION_CALL and android system find the dialers which implement this Intent as per my Knowledge, If I am saying anything wrong please correct me.
And I hardcoded the package name because I did not get any option to do this task so I used this way. Actually call from the native dialer is a product requirement. So I have to implement. If you have any sample code related to this, please share with me

You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.Perhaps you should rethink forcing the user to use the native dialer... especially where you are hard-coding the package name. Not only is that just plain bad practice and really annoying for your end user, but the native dialer may not have the same package name on all devices...Here is a real-world example: I used to use Google Voice as my default option for making phone calls. I explicitly set it up that way. If I ever came across an app that didn't respect the way I wanted to use my phone it was immediately uninstalled and I gave the app an automatic 1 star rating.

Target: Call from native dialer only , bypass all dialers.
This is my method to call from Native Dialer , this method bypass the chooser dialog as I experienced.
Intent i = CallUtils.callfromDefaultDialer(ctxt, dat[1]);
ctxt.startActivity(i);
public static Intent callfromDefaultDialer(Context ctxt, String no) {
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
i.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + no));
PackageManager pm = ctxt.getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> list = pm.queryIntentActivities(i, 0);
for (ResolveInfo info : list) {
String pkgnam = info.activityInfo.packageName;
if (pkgnam.toLowerCase().equals("com.android.phone")) {
i.setClassName(pkgnam, info.activityInfo.name);
return i;
}
}
return i;
}
But some time it gives me option to choose . It gives me two dialog two choose, you can see the images in attachment.But second dialog (chooser_win.png) I bypass using above code. but when when i get the first dialog(call_win.png) then the second dialog(chooser_win.png) auto come up(you can say its root of chooser dialog).
But using below code I bypass the first dialog (call_win.png). But not second dialog(chooser_win.png)
public static Intent callfromDefaultDialer(Context ctxt, String no) {
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
//i.addCategory(Intent.ACTION_DEFAULT);
i.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + no));
PackageManager pm = ctxt.getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> list = pm.queryIntentActivities(i, 0);
for (ResolveInfo info : list) {
String pkgnam = info.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent targetedShareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
if (pkgnam.toLowerCase().equals("com.android.phone")) {
targetedShareIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + no));
targetedShareIntent.setClassName(pkgnam, info.activityInfo.name);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
//return targetedShareIntent;
//i.setClassName(pkgnam, info.activityInfo.name);
//return i;
}
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0) , "Select app to Call");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray( new Parcelable[ targetedShareIntents.size()])) ;
return chooserIntent;
}
I tried this code to get Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS . but not got success. its giving always blank parcelable list.
Intent intent = CallUtils.callfromDefaultDialer(ctxt, dat[1]);
Parcelable[] pa = intent.getParcelableArrayExtra (Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS );
Intent[] initialIntents = null;
if (pa != null) {initialIntents = new Intent[pa.length];
for (int i=0; i<pa.length; i++) { if (!(pa[i] instanceof Intent)) {
Log.w("ChooseActivity", "Initial intent #" + i
+ " not an Intent: " + pa[i]);}initialIntents[i] = (Intent)pa[i];
}}
