Hi, anybody.

My question is

How can i dial an emergency number, for example 911?

i made applciation, that can dial number, but not "emergency" one.

if change it to "9111", all works fine, but not "911".

i've found following permissions:
String CALL_PHONE Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call being placed.
String CALL_PRIVILEGED Allows an application to call any phone number, including emergency numbers, without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call being placed.

i tried to use CALL_PRIVILEGED, nothing helps. Also, somewhere i've found following line:
dialling emergency services isn’t available to third party applications

I need to call emergency numbers too, or how can i get denied phone numbers and show a messagebox to say:
"thanks to android developers. you can't use emergancy numbers in this application" ?

sorry for my poor english

hi eugeniuskr,

Did you have any look with this?

As far as I know Android deals with emergency calls itself, you can call an emergency number from your application but it will have to go through the native dialler.

You cant trap and block an emergency number as this would be deemed malicious as the phone being able to dial emergency numbers is important, blocking them would in fact be illegal in some countries.

You also cant call an emergency number with the user knowing as this would also be deemed malicious, for example an app could re ring emergency numbers without the user knowing and get the user in trouble with emergency services

I was trying to call from my application through native dialer, it doesn't allow. I didn't find any solution.
