Skype Starts Dialing and Hangs Up After 2 Seconds - Android

Question

I have Skype (2.8.0.920) installed on two Android devices. The first device comes with Android 2.2, second with 4.04.

when I initiate a call by executing the following code...

Intent skype_intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED"); 
skype_intent.setClassName("com.skype.raider", "com.skype.raider.Main");   
skype_intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);                  
skype_intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:PassportCard"));                 
act.startActivity(skype_intent);

...Skype starts dialing and hangs up after 2 sec.

However, the code works fine if I replace the current (2.8.0.920) Skype version by the previous.

Why is this? Any help?

Answer 1

This is the solution I found ;

In Java file:
Intent iskype = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW"); 
iskype.setData(Uri.parse("skype:PassportCard")); 
act.startActivity(iskype);

In AndroidManifast.xml
<intent-filter> 
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />                     
      <data android:scheme="skype" /> 
</intent-filter>
