termux
termux-telephony-call not working.
Hi,
Im trying to perform a call from termux to a phone number, i did install termux-api-package in termux terminal, and then installed termux api from the app store (add on for termux), when i execute termux-telephony-call [phone number] in termux terminal, no feedback is provided, command seems to keep working but the other phone did not receive call.
package termux-api 0.28 installed (stable) in termux.
Termux-telephony-call opens your default phone-call app and makes a call so termux should open another app if it works.
Which android version are you on?
Im in version 5.1, kernel version 3.10...
im searching my phone info, in sim state says "phone number: unknown", ¿maybe that is the problem? i can make calls with it without problems, in service state says "in service"
im searching my phone info, in sim state says "phone number: unknown"
This is bug of some SIM cards. On my device even system information shows that number unknown, however on different SIM card it is shown correctly.
I am having the same issue, after executing the command i am getting nothing.
Device Info : OS: Android 13 aarch64 Host: google Pixel 4 XL Kernel: 4.14.276
Please give any leads to solve this issue
I am also having issues starting a call using termux-telephony-call via sshd but only prior to opening the Termux activity. My setup is such that on boot, termux-boot will start sshd. I am then able to login via ssh after around a minute of settling. But, after I login via ssh if I try termux-telephony-call XXXXXXX it just returns a 0 and the phone call is not initiated. If I then start the Termux activity and after that try the same termux-telephony-call XXXXXXXX via ssh now it will work both via ssh and directly in the Termux activity. These are the access denied messages that occur after termux-telephony-call via ssh prior to opening the Termux activity:

ACTION_CALL -> Note: there will be restrictions on which applications can initiate a call; most applications should use the ACTION_DIAL
Android doesn't list which restrictions apply there, but I am assuming a service started from background isn't allowed to do it. Similar restrictions exist for microphone/camera. It won't be denied by SeLinux but by a framework component, there should be other log entries that you need to look for. You can also start termux activity via ssh with am start -n com.termux/.app.TermuxActivity after granting termux Draw over apps permissions, once started, you can start the call and hopefully it should work.
Would be good for termux to add ACTION_DIAL support in future, which shouldn't have this restriction, technically can be done with am command though.
