Intent for a Skype call using email information in the datas

I would like to open a Skype Intent (better with a direct call if possible) using the email of the user.

I find this but it seem it work only with the Skype username :

Intent skype = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
skype.setData(Uri.parse("skype:" + "user_name"));            
startActivity(skype);

It is possible to setData with the email of the Skype account? If not, it is possible to get the username thanks to the email ?

Solution

  • It seem it's not possible using email address in the Intent, only using username.
