Remarks

Activity Action: Perform a call to someone specified by the data.

Input: If nothing, an empty dialer is started; else #getData is URI of a phone number to be dialed or a tel: URI of an explicit phone number.

Output: nothing.

Note: there will be restrictions on which applications can initiate a call; most applications should use the #ACTION_DIAL.

Note: this Intent <strong>cannot</strong> be used to call emergency numbers. Applications can <strong>dial</strong> emergency numbers using #ACTION_DIAL, however.

Note: An app filling the android.app.role.RoleManager#ROLE_DIALER role should use android.telecom.TelecomManager#placeCall(Uri, Bundle) to place calls rather than relying on this intent.

Note: if you app targets android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#M M and above and declares as using the android.Manifest.permission#CALL_PHONE permission which is not granted, then attempting to use this action will result in a java.lang.SecurityException.
