Android 4.4 problem with start dial from background
I have app what makes calls in some cases(this logic works).
But some time ago I found what on devices with android 4.4 there is issue.
When my app in background and some other app(for instance Chrome) in foreground my app can't make call. After I resume my app it start dialer.
If my app only in background works like a charm.
Other versions works fine(tested on android 5.1.1, 7, 8), only problem with 4.4.
Checked what happens in the ADM, it seems when app in background and other app in foreground my intents are not handling.
I think it is some kind of limitations, but i didnt find any proof of this.
this is my code for calling
public void Call(string phoneNumber)
{
var intent = new Intent();
intent.SetData(Android.Net.Uri.Parse("tel:" + Uri.EscapeDataString(phoneNumber)));
intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionCall);
intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.FromBackground);
if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt < BuildVersionCodes.Lollipop)
intent.SetPackage("com.android.phone");
else
intent.SetPackage("com.android.server.telecom");
getContext.StartActivity(intent);
}
May be somebody have any idia why it is like this.
