android.permission.CALL_PHONE for tablets

Question

I am developing an app and in the manifest I have:

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

When I click on the button to execute this code:

Intent intentcall = new Intent(); intentcall.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL); intentcall.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phonenumber)); // set the Uri startActivity(intentcall); 

It will run fine on phones, and on tablets it pops up with a display where you can view or add the number to contacts. However, if I keep the permission in the manifest, it isn't available for tablets in the market. How can I keep the code behavior and still have it display in the market for tablets as well as phones?

Answer 1

In the AndroidManifest you need:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" /> 

The CALL_PHONE permission implies telephony is required, but if you specify that is not you won't be filtered.
