Code to initiate call from WebEx app not working with WebEx Intune app

[thomas-w]

Hello,

The following code can be used to initiate a call from a bot in the WebEx app:

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
    data = Uri.parse("tel:1234567890")
}
startActivity(intent)

However, it doesn't work with the WebEx Intune app.

Can anyone tell me what needs to change to make this work with WebEx Intune? Or should this work?

Thanks,

Thomas

@thomas-w thanks for clarifying. On this forum we mainly help with SDK and API related queries, for generic Webex App questions, you might be better off with contacting TAC here https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html .

@thomas-w can you please specify what Webex SDK you are using? You only mentioned Webex App, but not sure which one this means:

This is on Android but it's not using the SDK. The code is part of a support chatbot that should give the user the option to call a number through the WebEx Intune app.
