Nothing happening when calling RNImmediatePhoneCall.immediatePhoneCall() about react-native-immediate-phone-call HOT 16 OPEN

is there a way to do it directly in expo?

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Same here
ran the following commands on a freshly opened react-native project:

`npm install react-native-immediate-phone-call --save

react-native link react-native-immediate-phone-call`

Then when using the following, nothing happens

import RNImmediatePhoneCall from 'react-native-immediate-phone-call'; .... RNImmediatePhoneCall.immediatePhoneCall('0123456789'); ...

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Confirmed, nothing happens...

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Well, do you guys use the latest RN version? Linking has changed for ios and I did not use or test this myself... that might be the issue...

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

@wumke
I was using android, but maybe that's the issue, cause I was using the latest RN
I'll try downgrading and will update on the results

Thanks for replying

If you find the solution feel free to send a pull request for the README !

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Have you managed to get it working @R44J / @jonybar9 / @Sidharth1999 ?
I am trying to make it work with latest RN and no success :(

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

@murbanowicz try wrap the call in try catch block

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Ok I think I figured it out, I'll upload later what I did differently
@wumke could you contact me at [email protected] about making a pull request?

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Ok so @wumke didn't contact me so I'll just post my solution here and if one of you has the time make a pull request

First do react-link
Then add the following lines:

In settings.gradle:
after rootProject.name = 'YOUR_PROJ_NAME'
add the following line: include ':react-native-immediate-phone-call', ':app'

In build.gradle:
Inside the dependencies section insert the following line:
implementation project(':react-native-immediate-phone-call')

In AndroidManifest.xml:
add the following line with all other user-permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

In MainActivity.java:
inside the class MainActivity add the following override:
(include the "@OverRide" for some reason it's not in the same block with the rest of the code)
`@Override

public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    
    RNImmediatePhoneCallPackage.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); // very important event callback
    
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

}

@jonybar9, Thanks. It works. But I think you have missed importing this
import com.github.wumke.RNImmediatePhoneCall.RNImmediatePhoneCallPackage;
in MainActivity.java

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Hello @wumke, and @jonybar9, using the same way it's not working as expected

• In the emulator, it's not doing anything but only requesting user permissions for calls
• In a real android device after getting permissions, it directs to the phone dialer which is not what I want

Here are some details on my project

• React-native version: 0.68.0
• React-native-immediate-phone-call version: ^2.0.0

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

@Habinezajanvier Sorry to hear that.
You're right that directing you to the dialer is not the expected behavior, it should make a direct call.
Sadly I won't have the time to dive deeper into it anytime soon

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Maybe the newer Android versions also blocked direct calling, and forward us to the dailer now (just like Apple did before, see readme). It is possible that there is no longer an option to immediately start a call without an intermediate action/confirmation.

If someone knows a solution, feel free to create a pull request.
Also, pull requests for the Readme with exact Android/iOS versions that are reported to work are very welcome!

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

I've experienced the same in expo once I built the .apk using eas build. When I tap the button that should start the phone call, nothing happens. @wumke would you know what the issue is and how to fix it?

I followed the readme by adding "permissions": [ "android.permission.CALL_PHONE" ] to my app.json then calling RNImmediatePhoneCall.immediatePhoneCall(phoneNumber) where phoneNumber is the number the user wants to call.

from react-native-immediate-phone-call.

I managed to make this work but had to use React Native CLI instead of expo. After doing some research on the expo icebox and the expo intent launcher package it seems that at the moment expo has no way for us to ask the user for the CALL_PHONE permission. Nevertheless, the API is still supported by Android so, if you install the package through RN CLI, the functionality works.
