Android Calendar Dialer (v. 1.7.1) Разработано Andro Caldissian |
Now it is possible to dial directly from the built-in Calendar application on some devices.
The Android Calendar Dialer is a utility for processing the data in the built-in Calendar's event location field. It permits telephone numbers with extensions, conference bridge numbers, passcodes, DTMF menu entry, etc. to be dialed with no text entry and very few clicks. See the Known Issues section and check out the screen shots to see just how simple it will make dialing into your next conference call!
Android Calendar Dialer also filters out superfluous text from the event location, such as conference room locations, so that it's possible to just dial the number. It's not a replacement calendar - it's an intuitive app that handles numerous types of entries encountered in the Calendar's location field and let's you dial the phone number and extensions.
Supported formats will typically have the dial-in number followed by any of the letters 'p' 'w' 'x', comma (,), semi-colon (;), or character strings such as "ext", or just about any other text. Pauses are automatically inserted between the number to dial and the digits to enter after the call has been answered.
*** READ THIS - If your Calendar app does not allow you to select both the number to dial and the extension _simultaneously_ (both number and extension must be in a single link!), this app will NOT work on your device unless you a) launch the app from the (included) ACD-Today's Events icon, b) install a third-party Calendar app which does (see support site). or c) rely on the favorites feature by clicking on the passcode but then inserting the dial-in number from a stored favorite ***
To make your life just a bit simpler, please explain to your meeting organizers that they must put the conference call dial-in numbers and passcodes in the meeting event location field because you are using the Android Calendar Dialer.
Please submit comments, issues, or recommended language translations, to the developers. Use the "Diag Report" menu option to submit to the developer's email address directly from the application.
Thanks and enjoy!
Please also see Recent Changes.
Known Issues:
- User's Calendar should select all the necessary digits to dial (common on all Motorola devices encountered) OR the user must install an alternate calendar which does (our support site lists a couple of free ones that work). If it does not, store your dial-in number info as a favorite and prepend it to the passcode which you may click as a link in your calendar
- Specific device support - see FAQ at developer site to learn how some devices are supported (via third-party calendar or favorites)
- no support for devices running older versions of Android (pre-2.0)
- the formats people are using for setting up meeting notices in Outlook/Google Calendar are like snowflakes, generally many formats have been tested and validated but numerous unknown combinations of letters/numbers/characters have not been validated. Contact the developer if you find one.

[2012-05-22] Dominic: Works on S2 and Droid X Tested this on both a Samsung S2 and a Droid X. Works on both. I agree that this app may not be as slick as the BB dialer but, its good enough. Thank you for this app. |

[2012-03-05] Paul: Needs a lot of work to = the BB Conf. dialer Running this on an HTC incredible 2 (built-in calendar app. separates the bridge & passcode #s) 1)Annoyance: for ADC, all #s must appear as a LOCATION (this is stated by the developer, but I found a work-around). For me, 50% of the meeting invites I have already appear as strings of digits to dial by my calendar app...I'd have to edit them to look like a location....no time to do so. So, if the bridge or passcode gets identified as a real number or separate real numbers (example: bridge #s by country and passcode) by your calendar app, this app. won't present all the numbers for you to select. As a workaround, I made a 1-time fix for this by selecting the main # (bridge #, not the passcode) and then long pressing on the bridge # in the list to store it as a favorite in the app. Once done, you can select just the passcode from the calendar entry. When this app. displays just the passcode, on the next screen, tapping it will automatically add the stored bridge number and dial the complete string. All in all, a few taps on the app. are better then memorizing strings of passcodes!!! 2)Issue: The ACD today companion app does not show any of my appointments - completely blank!! |

[2012-03-02] Daniel K.: Finally! Thank you. Since moving to Android the only frustrating piece has been all the meetings I need to dial into daily, I get redirected to MAPS - when the location is a phone number, in the car, having to go back and manually type this in at the last minute, if not dangerous in the car, is more an issue that it's become almost expected that I will be the late caller to join. Never looks good. Problem resolved. Thank you!!! |

[2012-02-09] Guy: Doesn't Work It doesn't detect the phone numbers correctly and basically unusable. Developer support is really bad... Don't waster you money on this... |

[2012-02-01] Jeremy: LoL If I could get anyone to put the dial in # and code in the right place and the proper format this app would really be necessary, now would it. I'm sorry but it can't even handle the standard blackberry format. I'm using the stock HTC calendar app. I gave 2 stars, since It's better then the stock dialer I guess, which just errors out completely, but it still fails to actually dial you in. |

[2011-12-22] Samuel: lifesaver Works for me when dialing from this application. when dialing from calendar, behavior is the same. |

[2011-12-18] Keith: Makes Android do what a BB does When you need to dial complex conference numbers straight from calendar appointments, this is the app that makes it easy. |
