Hi all, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I "think" I understand intents and BRs, however what I am trying to achieve is when a user clicks a phone number link in chrome, I want my app to appear as a possible dialer. At this stage no matter what I do, it goes straight to the default Android dialer. Any help (if it is at all possible) would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone else run into this. I fixed it with this in the manifest. Not sure if all is needed. But it works.

B4X: 
AddActivityText(Main,
<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="softphone.ACTION_CALL"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/>
