Android Question Phonecall issue

[tigrot]

Hi Everybody,
my testers told me that my APP (using StartActivity(pc.Call(ntel))) asks to chose between Whatsapp and the Dialer. Is there a way to instruct the phone to use the standard Dialer, instead of showing the selection screen and bypass it?

Thank you
Mauro

To better explain: How to "set default stock dialer programmatically" I have already done manually, but it's not easy to explain to customers!

This code will print the component names of all dialers:

Dim pm As PackageManager
Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize(in.ACTION_CALL, "tel:")
Dim dialers As List = pm.QueryIntentActivities(in)
Log(dialers)

The first one is considered the best match, so there is no guarantee that it is the stock dialer.

Thank you very much. Happy Christmas, if you celebrate...

By the way. This is a useful way to know if there are multiple dialers. Is There a way to set the default one instead of asking the customer?

Thank you
Mauro

No. It´s the users device and HE may asked. And he need to set another one if he prefer. Or even not.
It is a Android decision.

Nothing dramatic as Apple "drastic" decisions... I have almost stopped developing on IOS 'cause amost nothing is feasable...
