Question: How can I dial a phone number stored in my android database?
Product: Article Number: 377Creation Date: 10/14/2010
Answer:
The HanDBase database format does not have a field type set up for supporting dialing phone numbers other than storing them in a regular text field.  That said, we do have a field type called External which is designed to let us add support for interfacing with external applications such as the phone dialer.
 
Using this field type it's possible for us to create a 'field type' that would support launching the dialer with a phone number stored in a text field.  In fact, on some other platforms like iPhone, iPad, Palm OS and Windows Mobile, this is already available in some form.

At launch, we don't have any External field types designed for HanDBase for Android, but hope to add one for dialing phone numbers in the near future.
