Answer 1

You can send an Intent which will open de phone dialer with supplied phonenumber.

String url = "tel:1234";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(url));

Don't forget to add the permission to your manifest

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

You could try to send Intent with this action Intent.ACTION_DIAL(android.intent.action.DIAL) to see if it works. ACTION_DIAL tel:123 -- Display the phone dialler with the given number filled in.
