I don't need to call the phone number, I just need the dialer to open with the phone number already displayed. What Intent should I use to achieve this?

phone-number android-intent android

Okay, it is going to be extremely late answer to this question. But here is just one sample if you want to do it in Kotlin.

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL)
intent.data = Uri.parse("tel:<number>")
startActivity(intent)

Thought it might help someone.

<TextView
 android:id="@+id/phoneNumber"
 android:autoLink="phone"
 android:linksClickable="true"
 android:text="+91 22 2222 2222"
 />

This is how you can open EditText label assigned number on dialer directly.

You can call Intent following this:

String number = "0123456789";
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + number));
        startActivity(intent);

A helper function for someone using kotlin:

fun openDialPad(context: Context, phoneNum: String) {
    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL)
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:$phoneNum"))
    context.startActivity(intent)
}
