Android - How to activate calling Emergency numbers using Intent.ACTION_CALL?

Question

I am developing an Android application in which there is an Emergency numbers calling functionality. I am using the call code below:

private void call(String pnum) {
    private TelephonyManager telephone;
    private PhoneListener phList;
    telephone = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    phList = new PhoneListener(this);
    telephone.listen(phList, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

    Intent call = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    call.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + pnum));
    call.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    startActivity(call);
    finish();
}

and the PhoneListener class is as below:

public class PhoneListener extends PhoneStateListener {
   boolean called = false;
   TelephonyManager mTelMgr;
   InitiateScreen m;

   public PhoneListener(InitiateScreen activity) {
       mTelMgr = (TelephonyManager) activity
            .getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
       m = activity;
    }

   @Override
   public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String inNum) {
       super.onCallStateChanged(state, inNum);

       // Don't fire before the call was made
       if (state == TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK)
        called = true;

       // Call has ended -- now bring the activity back to front
       if (called && state == TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE) {
        called = false;
        mTelMgr.listen(this, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_NONE);
       }
    }
   }

As i am using INTENT.ACTION_CALL , the call should be automatically happened. But for Emergency numbers Dial Pad showing( ACTION_DIAL ). I have verified the same code with non-emergency numbers. Call is automatically going. So, Doesn't Android supports calling the Emergency numbers directly. Can't we invoke ACTION.CALL for Emergency numbers in Android. Please help me with your inputs.

Answer 1

Call this in your activity

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + "911")); startActivity(intent);

Add this permission to your manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

Answer 2

try this

 private void phoneCall()
{


   Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);

   callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+txtPhn.getText().toString().trim()));
   callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); 


   startActivity(callIntent);



}
