Initiate call activity in android without dialing

Question

I've been searching how to do this in Android and I found this question:

How to make a phone call in android and come back to my activity when the call is done?

Which contatins this piece of code:

String url = "tel:3334444";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(url));

Which opens the dialing activity and dials to the number specified in the second parameter. The problem is the I need to open the dial activity without start to dial immediately, but with the number in the second parameter already inserted into the number textbox.

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phone_number));
startActivity(callIntent);

How's setting the same parameter after it's creation instead of setting it in the constructor making any difference? – UnTraDe Apr 09 '14 at 10:28
Difference in Intent.ACTION_CALL and Intent.ACTION_DIAL, other code same – user2474486 Apr 09 '14 at 15:07
