I have several applications that use the Intent and have the
permission specified, they work fine. Putting that permission as a
child of manifest, as you stated you did, works for me.
. . .
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
</manifest>
As to why I recommended one or the other (I did mention both), the
IPhone interface is more difficult to use in my opinion, that's all,
opinion.
Intents are trivial, in this case requires far less code to use an
Intent, and nothing need be hard coded at all:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.DIAL_ACTION, Uri.parse("tel:" +
NUMBER));
startActivity(intent);
IPhone can be handy, but to use it you need to make an IPC call to set
it up, and handle DeadObjectException and so on, certainly not as easy
as just using the built-in Intent (IMO).
