How do I make a phone call from listview?

[Aidiel_Iman]

Hi, I want to know how to make make a phone call just by clicking from the listview. I could only try to make a "save contact" function but don't know how to make a call from the list view that I saved

Hello,

You can use the PhoneCall component in the Social category/drawer. It helps you to make phone calls.

I'm aware of that function. The only problem I have right now is that how do I insert the phone call function into the listview so that I can make a phone call just by clicking the contact list that I have inserted. Is going to be like below? (Continuation from the previous one I uploaded)

You can put names and numbers on a csv file, then use a dictionary as shown in these blocks.

Does that mean I have to insert it firsthand on the spreadsheet before converting it to csv file? what if I want to insert the name & number through the app?

You can populate a tinydb, then populate a dictionary from tinydb

Can you check this for me this project and see if it works? I followed what you did but when I wanted to press the entry I have made from the list as a call function, it calls a random number instead of the contact I saved.

You added to listview the entire dict, not only keys

[Aidiel_Iman]

I overlooked that part. got it fixed. Thank you very much

[Aidiel_Iman]

sorry for asking again, what about removing the list from the dictionary? is it going to be like the shown block?

[patel]

Do you want remove all contacts from tinydb or from dictionary ?
It does not make sense removing from dict.

[Aidiel_Iman]

My intention is to remove the entry that I saved like the wrongly saved phone number/contact name. So does that mean I have to remove from tinyDB?

Yes, you have to remove from tinyDB, then populate dict and listview

[Aidiel_Iman]

I can delete the list, but once I enter a new name/phone number to be saved. the list still shows the previous entries I have saved which did not remove the data permanently. This is my blocks:

or maybe should i use this block instead?:

sorry for troubling you and thank you.

[gordonlu310]

Try those.

[patel]

you have to remove first the wrong entry from tinydb, then restart populating dict and listview

[Aidiel_Iman]

this will clear all the data permanently isn't it? what if I wrongly inserted a wrong contact and I want to delete that particular contact name & number only?
