I'm trying to write a program that calls numbers by contact or phone number but I dont know what a Uri is or how to get a Uri.

Question

I'm using qpython which is on android and they have a module called androidhelper with all kinds of cool methods you can use. One of them is called phoneDial() and these are the attributes:

PhoneDial()

self,uri

phoneDial(uri) Dials a contact/phone number by URI. uri (String)

But everytime I write
androidhelper.Android.phoneDial("5453421123")
Or
androidhelper.Android.phoneDial("Bobby")

It comes up with something like
result(id = 1, result = none, error = none)

Or sometimes it will give me a longer one.

Can anyone help me out? I know a uri is kinda similar to a url but how do I find the uri for a contact in my phone?

Answer 1

I don't think uri is what you're looking for.
See this question in stackoverflow:

Answer 2

Why don't you use phoneDialNumber()?

phoneDialNumber(phone_numbe) Dials a phone number. phone number (String)

Answer 3

Well when I use phone dial number it only dials the number in but doesnt actually start the call. I was looking for something similar that would but couldnt find it.

Also I want to be able to search for the contact string as well which phoneDialNumber() won't allow me to do... also pretty curious to learn about URI as well
