Why ACTION_CALL not working on Android 11

Why does this sentence ( to place a call enter a valid number ) appear when I run this code?

                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
                intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + "#1234#"));
                startActivity(intent);

But if you change the number from "#1234#" to "123456789" it works without problems Why is the (#) symbol not accepted?

Knowing that I added

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

in AndroidManifest.xml

Note: It still works in versions less than Android 11 and accepts the (#) symbol without problems.

Solution

  • Have you tried replacing "#" with "%"?

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + Uri.encode("#1234#")));
startActivity(intent);

    This should solve your problem.
