Android Intent call number

Question

I have my phone number at TextView and want to open "Intent-picker" to choose application that I want to call with(Skype, Viber...) or just dial to call it.

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL); calls instantly so it doesn't help me.

"want to open "Intent-picker" to choose application or just dial to call it" -- choose what? "...calls instantly so it doesn't help me" -- use `ACTION_DIAL`. — CommonsWare, Jan 04 '16 at 17:36
There are lots of apps that provide calls. So want to choose from them and basic calling function. — Kyryl Zotov, Jan 04 '16 at 17:39

I think you are looking for something like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:0123456789"));
startActivity(intent);

This opens the dialer (or creates a chooser dialog if there are multiple apps installed which can place a phone call) with the number filled in, but does not actually start the call. See this answer for more info.

Official Solution

Example intent:

public void dialPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber));
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

For kotlin

    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL)
    intent.data = Uri.parse("tel:0123456789")
    startActivity(intent)
