        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="New Button"
        android:id="@+id/button4"

Here, you will declare the local variable.

          


Step 6

Here, you will declare the set up buttons and attach click listeners.

 

Step 6

Here, you will declare the launchDialer() method.

 

Step 7

Now, you need to declare the populateArrays() method.

 
Step 8

Here, you will declare onClick() method.

 

Step 9

Now, you will see the full MainActivity.java code. 

package xyz.rvconstructions.www.phonedialerapp;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnClickListener{

    private int entr = 6;
    private String phoneNum[];
    private String buttonLabels[];

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        phoneNum = new String[entr];
        buttonLabels = new String[entr];


        populateArrays();



        Button button1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
        button1.setText(buttonLabels[0]);
        button1.setOnClickListener(this);

        Button button2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
        button2.setText(buttonLabels[1]);
        button2.setOnClickListener(this);

        Button button3 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button3);
        button3.setText(buttonLabels[2]);
        button3.setOnClickListener(this);

        Button button4 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button4);
        button4.setText(buttonLabels[3]);
        button4.setOnClickListener(this);

        Button button5 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button5);
        button5.setText(buttonLabels[4]);
        button5.setOnClickListener(this);

        Button button6 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button6);
        button6.setText(buttonLabels[5]);
        button6.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    public void launchDialer(String number){
        String numberToDial = "tel:"+number;
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(numberToDial)));
    }


    public void populateArrays(){



        phoneNum[0] = "9159490774";
        phoneNum[1] = "8754906484";
        phoneNum[2] = "9944085454";
        phoneNum[3] = "9988776655";
        phoneNum[4] = "9988776644";
        phoneNum[5] = "9988776633";

        buttonLabels[0] = "Muthuram";
        buttonLabels[1] = "Ram";
        buttonLabels[2] = "Santhosh";
        buttonLabels[3] = "Saran";
        buttonLabels[4] = "Harish";
        buttonLabels[5] = "prasath";
    }



    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        switch (v.getId()) {

            case R.id.button:
                launchDialer(phoneNum[0]);
                break;

            case R.id.button2:
                launchDialer(phoneNum[1]);
                break;

            case R.id.button3:
                launchDialer(phoneNum[2]);
                break;

            case R.id.button4:
                launchDialer(phoneNum[3]);
                break;

            case R.id.button5:
                launchDialer(phoneNum[4]);
                break;

            case R.id.button6:
                launchDialer(phoneNum[5]);
                break;
        }

    }
