What I have in my app is an emergency number[911] button, which the
users can click. So when they click on it I want to show them the dial
menu with that number in it.
new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL,Uri.parse("tel://911")) is doing that
for me. So I implemented it in this way. I also have a few other pages
which have other phone numbers and I am just replacing 911 with that
phone#.
I did what you said regarding removing intent filter and it is looking
fine. This is what I did not understand though.

Can you tell me how I can replace [ new
Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL,Uri.parse("tel://911") ], with what you have
suggested to show the dial screen to the user with the number entered.
Thank you Mark.
