Tel: href "Click to call" link does not work in Android
In my Android app from Cordova I have a link like this
<a href = "tel:011123456789">Click to Call</a>
This call link works on IOS as expected, but on Android the click prevents something like
11-26 11:13: 00.565: D / WebCore (18944): uiOverrideUrlLoading: shouldOverrideUrlLoading () returnstrue
this is my log cat result when the phone number link is clicked and the redirect does not work.
Also I tried javascript to override the redirect, but that didn't work either. Please help me find a solution.
I am using Cordova 3.6

These problems can occur due to the codelist access permission. You can specify access in Config.xml file like
<access origin="tel:*" launch-external="yes" />
Cordova 3.6.3 includes some security updates.
Security fixes include creating a new whitelist for protocols other than http / s. If your application uses other protocols besides http: // and https: //, such as sms :, mailto :, geo :, etc., you will need to make some configuration changes to whitelist those protocols.
<access origin="tel:*" launch-external="yes"/>
<access origin="geo:*" launch-external="yes"/>
<access origin="mailto:*" launch-external="yes"/>
<access origin="sms:*" launch-external="yes"/>
<access origin="market:*" launch-external="yes"/>
add the following details to your Config.xml
