Starting a call with intent, without user confirmation

NDZL — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 11:55:31 GMT

Hi, I need to start a call with the Webex android client (app id "com.cisco.wx2.android") via the android intent "android.intent.action.CALL"

The user experience, unfortunately, is not the same as for the default Android call manager, since with Webex the user needs to press a button to start the call (either voice or video).

Can anyone advise how to get the call started right away?

thanks,

nik

I think for other calls, only the phone app will open and you also have to press the dial button, don't you?

Personally, I think that's good as I do not want to have an app to automatically dial any expensive number without my confirmation withing the known app.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but I know my use case and I need to place a call to well-known number without confirmation.

FYI adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:555123 starts the call right away using the Android call manager. Can you do the same with Webex?
