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

This would be easier;

String no = textview.getText().toString();
if(no.contains("#")){
no = no.replace("#","%23");
}
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL)
.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" no)));
