Dial without dialer?

[xyphocles]

I am trying to write a little intercom application that will let a user press a button to be automatically connected to a number in an online phonebook.

The number being dialed number is NOT public - I do not want the user to see the number being dialed.

I am making the call using

StartActivity(PhoneCalls.Call(PhNumber))

But I still have the issue that the number dialed is visible while the dialer is onscreen making the call.

Any ideas?

PS: I already used someone's code to remove the call log thanks.

Thanks for any advice...

Hi Erel, and thanks for the lightning reply! The problem is not that the app does not have Permission to dial but that the dialer widow pops up and it shows the number being dialed.
Is there a way to dial without using the dial intent any having to use the android dialer?
Note that by using ther phonecall object call function it is dialling automatically which is great, I just need to avoid the user seeing the number being connected to.
Thanks!

Yes. The code in the above link should work (after you change the action to CALL instead of VIEW).
