Call intent in Android

Question

How can I make call by pressing button? I get my number as a string from EditText. Here is my sample code:

String phone = editPhone.getText().toString();
btnPhone.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {

                call();
            }
        });
public void call() {
    try {
        Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
        callIntent.setData(Uri.parse(phone));
        startActivity(callIntent);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityException) {
         Log.e("myphone dialer", "Call failed", e);
    }
}

I added all permissions to manifest file.

but I am getting NullPointerexception

I think you missed the "tel:" part in the URI.

Replace the following..

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
        callIntent.setData(Uri.parse(phone));
        startActivity(callIntent);

with

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,Uri.parse("tel:"+phone));
       startActivity(callIntent);

or

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
            callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+phone));
            startActivity(callIntent);
