Calling Value Of EditText From Different Activity

Question

I have two activities in my project in the first activity I have 1 Edittext , and from the second activity I want to dial (Call) the number that was written in the first activity.

Answer 1

If you want to create an EditText, which will call the value in the EditText, use an intent with ACTION_DIAL, to handle the call, in place of opening a new activity.

Answer 2

Ben S's answer is the right answer if you want to use the default Dialer app on the phone.

But if you want to pass the value of the EditText to your own Activity, just launch an Intent and pass the number as an extra of this Intent:

intent.putExtra("EXTRA_NUMBER", numberAsAString);

Answer 3

To transfer data from activity1 to activity2, you need to add it as an extra in the intent object.

Do this in activity1 to start activity2 :

final Intent intent = new Intent(this, myActivity2.class);
intent.putExtra("phone_number",((EditText)findViewById(R.id.edttxt_input)).getText().toString());
startActivity(intent);

Then in activity2's onCreate(), do this :

String phoneNumber = getIntent().getStringExtra("phone_number");
String uri = "tel:" + phoneNumber;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(intent);
