Action Dial works but Action Call gives issue and doesn't do what I want

Question

This code works like a charm but at dial screen i want it to auto make call. however i have changed ACTION_DIAL to ACTION CALL and still no luck. I have give full access in manifest but still not doing what i want it to. please help.

EditText firstNumber;
Button btnAdd;
int number = 35;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main23);

    Toast.makeText(Main23Activity.this,
            "Type in your Pin Number", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    btnAdd = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button12);

    btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            try {
                EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText6);
                String text= et.getEditableText().toString();

                String character = Character.toString((char) number);

                Toast.makeText(Main23Activity.this,
                        "Adding Money to your account has never been this easy", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:" + Uri.encode("*221*" + text + "#")));
                startActivity(intent);

            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }
    });

   }
}

Call requires permission which may be rejected by user. Code to explicitly check to see if the permission is available — Shevan Murat, Jul 21 '16 at 15:51

Dial like this below and don't forget to add the relevant permission to your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

    Uri number = Uri.parse("tel:123456789");
    Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, number);
    startActivity(callIntent);

but wont that defeat the purpose of auto calling ? – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 15:59
im trying now one moment – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:01
did same thing actually – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:03
your android OS version is 6.0? – Sohail Zahid Jul 21 '16 at 16:04
let me double check – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:05
phone is 6.0.1 and i set to 5.0.1 and higher on android studio for emulator – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:06
have you get runtime permission of from user? – Sohail Zahid Jul 21 '16 at 16:06
that i havent because im not sure how. – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:07
the phone doesn't prompt at the corrent menu – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:08
hmmm thats the problem your android 6.0 you have to get runtime permission from user otherwise by only declaring them manifest is not enough. Look here in my earlier answer and then try and comment if still have issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38141523/directory-creation-not-working-in-marshmallow-android/38141778#38141778 – Sohail Zahid Jul 21 '16 at 16:10
would it be the same way if i did it for a earlier version ? because now that i think about it i want the app to work for anyone and version 4.0 or higher. also implementing what you have to work with my code will be a challenge. – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:20
Yes runtime permission support backwards too. – Sohail Zahid Jul 21 '16 at 16:22
Ok I'll check your page out again. Thank you – Shevan Murat Jul 21 '16 at 16:40
@ShevanMurat you are welocme. – Sohail Zahid Jul 22 '16 at 10:26

Kotlin code:

fun makeCall(){
       val phoneNumber = "12345678"
       val dialIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL)
       dialIntent.data = 
       Uri.parse("tel:$phoneNumber")
       startActivity(dialIntent)
    }

Then call the function:

binding.buttonCall.setOnClickListener{
  makeCall() }

Add permission in the AndroidManifest.xml

Action Dial works but Action Call gives issue and doesn't do what I want
