Answer 1

you will need the permission

in your AndroidManifest.xml

in java you would then do:

Intent dialIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:+1123123"));
startActivity(dialIntent);

the equivalent Qt code is something like:

QAndroidJniObject action    = QAndroidJniObject::fromString("android.intent.action.CALL");
QAndroidJniObject uriString = QAndroidJniObject::fromString("tel:+1123123");
QAndroidJniObject uri       = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("android/net/Uri", "parse", "(Ljava/lang/String)V", uriString);


QAndroidJniObject intent("android/content/Intent","(Ljava/lang/String, Landroid/net/Uri)V", action, uri);


QAndroidJniObject activity = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("org/qtproject/qt5/android/QtNative", "activity", "()Landroid/app/Activity;");
activity.callObjectMethod("startActivity","(Landroid/content/Intent;)V",intent.object());

however, note that using ACTION_CALL may get you reject from the appstore, and google advises to use ACTION_DIAL, which opens the dialer instead of doing a direct call.
