react-native-phone-call's Introduction

react-native-phone-call

Initiate a phone call in React Native.

react-native-phone-call

Background

This is a small wrapper that allows you to initiate a phone call in React Native.

Running on iOS simulator

When running on the iOS simulator, you will get a the URL is invalid error. This will work on an actual device. The iOS simulator does not have access to the dialer app..

Running on Android SDK 30+

Android SDK 30 introduced changes around how apps can query and interact with other apps. This means Linking.canOpenURL returns false for all links unless a <queries> element is added to AndroidManifest.xml. Adding the following intent to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml should resolve the issue:

<queries>
      <intent>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
      </intent>
</queries>

Limitations

This module only provides a simple wrapper around the Linking API and is thus limited in the functionality it can provide. If you are looking for additional functionality, such as being able to initiate a phone call without user confirmation, please use other packages like react-native-immediate-phone-call.

Install

Install the package locally within you project folder with your package manager:

With npm:

npm install react-native-phone-call

With yarn:

yarn add react-native-phone-call

Usage

To use the module, call the function with an object containing the number to call as a argument.

import call from 'react-native-phone-call'

const args = {
  number: '9093900003', // String value with the number to call
  prompt: false, // Optional boolean property. Determines if the user should be prompted prior to the call 
  skipCanOpen: true // Skip the canOpenURL check
}

call(args).catch(console.error)

Example with phone and extension.

Use commas to add time between pressing different digits. (ex. dial a number and wait to be connected and menu to start being read. Press a number for an extension. Even wait longer for another menus and press another number for another extension.)

const args = {
  number: '9093900003,,,3,,,274', // Use commas to add time between digits.
  prompt: false
}

call(args).catch(console.error)

API

For all configuration options, please see the API docs.

Invalid URL in IOS

Hi, I am getting invalid URL message for IOS.

I want's to hide phone number when calling to any number for my customer because my customer are taxi driver and they can call to the passenger but i want's the taxi driver can not see the passenger phone number when calling to that, is it possible ?

Missing declaration file

I am reporting this, because I was about to use this library in my project and I have just done the npm install --save react-native-phone-call.
When I do import call from 'react-native-phone-call I get a visual studio code error that tells me this:

I think you are missing what is there written in your index.js declaration. I will try to write that and give you a feed back, because the option of npm install @types/react-native-phone-call does not work and returns:
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: @types/react-native-phone-call@latest

If you have any idea why this could be happening, I will be glad to hear it from you.

I can't call Bangla phone number for android 9 but up to android 8 working well.
Still, SMS send in Bangla number. What can I do to fix this problem?

Cannot add # in the phone number

While the number including #, the content after # is not visible in the dial pad.

const args = {

Call kills app

Attempting to make a call from my app kills the app on iOS 12

phone call intent with extension does not work

Calling 'call' method with number '9093900003,,,3,,,274' as provided in readme does not open intent with pauses and extension - those are simply stripped. I am not sure whether RN Linking actually supports uris with extensions.
Do you have any idea how to implement such behaviour or how to make you example working?

Call pop up with Name

Is it possible to add in a string like name, number ontop instead of just a number there?
