Hello everybody, I am new and I have not find a French forum for Intel XDK and my English is not very good. My question is can I create a phone app that make a dial (call) or send an USSD with Intel XDK? If it is possible, how can I do it easily? Thanks.

Hello,

If you generate a tel: type link, then that will work when your app runs on a mobile device. That's the easiest. ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13662175/how-to-create-hyperlink-to-call-phone-number-on-mobile-devices )

There is a tutorial for placing calls with Cordova/Phonegap here:

The XDK uses Cordova, so any information you find on the internet relative to HTML5 or Cordova (aka Phonegap) will work with the XDK

And, if you really need advanced features, you might need a custom Cordova plugin:

Hope this helps,
