Sending ACTION_CALL Intent in Android containing hash # sign

Question

I am having the problem that the hash sign is truncated. Does anybody know a solution? using unicode or %23 is not working in my case. Now the number that is dialed is *101<

Answer 1

I found a solution for this issue by replacing # in %23

String uri = "tel:" + "*133%23";

Intent intent;
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(uri));
