Re: this question, is it possible to escape the # on adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.DIAL -d tel:*#06#?

@AndrewT. when I tried that, the dialpad only dials *, I assumed # is a comment mark?

@AndrewT. put the "tel:*#06#" in single or double inverted commas

@DanHulme I still couldn't get it right, putting -d 'tel:*#06#' or -d "tel:*#06#" still returned * only on Nexus 5, Android 6.0.1, stock Phone app. Perhaps something-dependent related?

Thanks though, perhaps I can't do that :/

@AndrewT. oh wait, from an adb shell command you need to escape twice

so '"tel:*#06#"' will work

sorry

8:14 AM

@DanHulme it didn't work too: Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.action.DIAL dat='tel:* flg=0x10000000 }

But I managed to do it by changing to %23 for # (from comment thread on this article)

ah, because it's an URL, right

It's data for Intent, I guess it's considered as URI

However.... it didn't work just like I expected... dialing/calling *#06# using ADB will return UNKNOWN APPLICATION. It seems the phone app only listening to the input (using input text *#06# worked, but I have to get the focus of the dial input first).

In any case, I don't have simple solution for that question...

At least I learnt something about ADB

Anyway, it'd be good if our chat room's design can be updated to Material design. Probably it's only me, but the current color theme is a bit too unsaturated/pale.

How can I raise the awareness, since there's no bounty on child meta? :)

@AndrewT. Good suggestion about chat room design

There must be a component actively listening to whatever is getting typed into default dialer and whenever the number matches, it shows up that IMEI fragment.

Same as *#*#4636#*#*.

@AndrewT. I don't know. This is something that SE has to do for us, so maybe try and attract the attention of our community manager. It seems to be an oversight that it wasn't updated when the site design was.

one of the easiest way of doing that (put the code in onCreate): EDIT: addied wikipedia free opensearch (if https://en.wikipedia.org doesn't work try http://en.wikipedia.org) AutoCompleteTextView actv = new AutoCompleteTextView(this); actv.setThreshold(1); String[] from = { "name", ...

i use the code on comentary and work well

Q: Is it on topic to ask for help choosing a suitable Android device?

you're confusing us with the Android room on chat.stackoverflow.com

this room is for end-user discussion, not programming

StackExchange

Let's say I'm planning to buy a new Android device. I have a certain list of criteria for the device. I want to know which devices fit most or all of my criteria, and possibly get feedback from users who have already tried the devices in question. Would this be on or off topic here? If it's off...

possible spam

it's spam. also, the other answer

Bye-bye

Yay! :)

@AndrewT. I had figured out how to do this at BlackBerry, if only I still had access to those emails :/

@MatthewRead I'm sure there's a joke in there about BlackBerry and losing emails

4:44 PM

@DanHulme hahaha

@DanHulme Oh, I did write up an answer here! Go me. android.stackexchange.com/a/120378/1465

@MatthewRead 4636 worked, but 06 didn't. I guess because of different format.. hmm, perplexing

Interesting to know, though!

Hmm.

5:06 PM

the DIAL intent works for me

It kind of worked, it displayed *#06# on the dialpad, but nothing happened afterward (no IMEI popup). It's on Nexus 5, stock Android 6.0.1 though, so it might be dependent to something.

what is going on with this antivirus question?
