Hi,
I need to invoke skype application and make a call from skype when a 'skype me' link (eg: skype://1866012345) is clicked from a webview. Can someone help how to do this?
I tried the following:
Downloaded skype application from market (in my driod 2.2). When launching skype, the package invoked is 'skype.android.raider' - as per ADB logs. So I tried invoking a ACTION_VIEW intent with cmp=com.skype.raider/.ui.call.SplashScreenActivity or cmp=com.skype.raider/.ui.call.SkypeOutCallActivity and data=Uri.parse("skype://1866012345"). These did not work.
(I also did find a few posts suggesting to use skypelite component, but I guess I should ve skype lite installed for that, which could not find in the market. I assume skype lite is not in market anymore.)
(Also, i have to be able to make a phone call or email when corresponding links are clicked from WebView. As of now, I have added custom handling for each of these, but wondering if webview by default would not support it. Is there any webview setting to be enabled t do this? Any idea??)
thanks!
