Rantrile 0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 When I have a phone number 56246779 its not being highlighted. But if I have it with a prefix ie: 02056246779 it is being highlighted. I use Evernote android and the benefit of having highlighted numbers is that I can touch it to dial it. I would like to have a setting that would highlight any 8 digit number, or any other solution.

Level 5* gazumped 11,661 Posted April 21, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi. There are protocols baked into your OS to handle phone calls, so it should be possible to create a link which will dial, but you'll (probably) need to format your numbers correctly in international dialing format if you want them to work. The magic link in Android is: tel:<phone number>. Sadly you can't create a link in EN mobile, so you'd have to set up your links on desktop first. Check out these links for some explanations - (or Goo search-engine-of-choice your own)http://www.mobilexweb.com/blog/click-to-call-links-mobile-browsershttps://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/device-access/click-to-call/click-to-call?hl=enhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/1608548/how-to-trigger-a-phone-call-when-clicking-a-link-in-a-web-page-on-mobile-phone Link to comment
Rantrile 0 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 The notes in this format 02056246779 are being highlighted automatically by Evernote on android. I assume Evernote does the highlighting and not the android. However, I would like it to handle 56246779 as well. In Laos both of the numbers are the same and one can dial both with 020 prefix as well as without. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,661 Posted April 21, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted April 21, 2015 Dialling a phone number requires a lot of input to the phone systems, which are Android processes. Evernote can use system 'keys' to link a number to those processes, but one of the requirements in Android is that the number have an international dialling format. If you type your number as +856 20 56246779 you may see it highlighted. See the links I posted for more background. Link to comment
PanApple 0 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I could not get it to work on my iPhone, but after I let evernote access my contacts on my phone it worked - General - Privacy - Contacts Link to comment
Jon lowbank 32 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 In the past I have always been able to click on a phone number on Android and get the dialer to come up. Unwisely I have built a system around this and now with the last update it has stopped working Has anybody had the same expirance. Looks like Gazumped had this back in 2013 , My life just got harder https://app.box.com/s/vh5e0adr1el1selsbhpls8p3o1twbaz5 Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,954 Posted May 25, 2016 Level 5 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hmm, I just tested this on Android v. 7.8.2, and found that I could enter a U.S. 10-digit phone number (including area code, but without +1 at the start), and when I saved the note the number was highlighted as a link that could be tapped to put it into the dialer. What's your phone model and Android version? (However, there are some kinks in my 7.8.2. update, it seems, and it's possible that the fact that this still works is one of them!) Link to comment

UPDATE: I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Evernote app on my phone. It fixed the other issues I was having; but it did in fact take away the highlighting of phone numbers. So, as Jon learned, this is a real problem. Link to comment

I upgraded to Android v. 7.9.2 yesterday. I find that phone and e-mail links now seem to work, putting phone numbers into the dialer and starting e-mails. So this got fixed. Link to comment

Matt W. 174 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hello @Jon lowbank, Let us know if you run into this again in any future update. The release of 7.9.2 corrected a lot of formatting issues that were being reported. Link to comment
virtualo 0 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I am having an issue where random numbers are being linkafied on evernote for android. I have approx 600 memos saved, each with either phone numbers, serial numbers, server hostnames, anything really. Evernote seems to be linkifying every series of numbers even if it is not a phone number. Can you change it to please only linkafy a phone number if it is in this format 123-456-7890. Or at least provide some sort of options in the app to disable this undesirable behavior. Here in America, 10 digit dialing is standard, and so is writing a phone number in a format such as 123-456-7890 or (123)456-7890 Here are examples of number sequences in my notes that are getting linkafied but should not be: 1234-567-8901 123-4567 1234-567 Some-name-12-3456789 1234567890123 12345678 Please advise on the fix.

Level 5* gazumped 11,661 Posted July 22, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi. Speaking for the rest of the world, we like our phone numbers in different formats so this feature would be good provided it's optional. However I don't get those digits linkified when I set up a note on my Android. Do you have any other phone/ calling apps running that might be affecting the display, like Skype? Link to comment
virtualo 0 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 No skype. Also tried on a virgin CM load with same result. I believe this is an app programming issue. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,661 Posted July 24, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted July 24, 2016 Still not a problem on my Android with your, or my local number formats. Just no links. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your app? Link to comment
