Hello guys, Today we will learn about the Dialer with a phone number functionality.

Overview To Implement Dialer with a phone number:-

In this blog, we are going to learn about how to implement the Dialer with a phone number method.

Nowadays, you have seen several apps which are open a dialer with a specific number, and also we can make direct calls to them. This functionality is very useful and easy to implement.

For the dialer code, you need to add some program that is used to call the dialer method in your phone –

        if let url = URL(string: "tel://\(phoneTextField.text!)"),
        UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)

if let url = URL(string: "tel://\(phoneTextField.text!)"),

UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {

UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)

Firstly create an XCode project and make a screen, in it we take a textField and a call button

Now create a viewController.swift file and add the dialer code to it.

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var phoneTextField: UITextField!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }


    @IBAction func callButtonTap(_ sender: Any) {
    
        if let url = URL(string: "tel://\(phoneTextField.text!)"),
        UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    
    }
}

}

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var phoneTextField: UITextField!

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()

// Do any additional setup after loading the view.

}

@IBAction func callButtonTap(_ sender: Any) {

if let url = URL(string: "tel://\(phoneTextField.text!)"),

UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {

UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)

}

Now run the code on a real device call method is not work on the simulator

After running the code we got the result-

Enter your phone number in phone text
Click to call button
An alert box will open on your phone screen
Click on the call option
you will see that dialer of the phone will open

Conclusion:-

In this blog, we have discussed how to call dialer function
