Answer 1

For ACTION_DIAL you just need to create Intent object with that action as a first argument and Uri object as a second argument built from phone number written as a string. After that just call startActivity() method and pass previously created intent object as an argument. For example:

private String phoneNumber = "123456";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Button dial_number = findViewById(R.id.button);
    dial_number.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber));
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });
}
