What is CallWithDoxDialer?

Doximity's Dialer app lets healthcare professionals make phone calls to patients while on the go -- without revealing personal phone numbers. Calls are routed through Doximity's HIPPA-secure platform and relayed to the patient who will see the doctor's office number in the Caller ID. Doximity Dialer is currently available to verified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and pharmacists in the United States.

CallWithDoxDialer is a mobile library for Android that lets 3rd-party apps easily initiate calls through the Doximity Dialer app.

Using CallWithDoxDialer

Core Functionality

To initiate a call using Doximity Dialer, simply call the DoxDialerCaller.dialPhoneNumber(Context context, String phoneNumber) method. If the Doximity Dialer app is not installed, this call will direct the user to Doximity Dialer on the Play Store.

Most reasonable phone number formats are accepted by the dialPhoneNumber method, e.g.:

  • using numbers only: 4151234567
  • formatted: (415)123-4567
  • with a leading international area code: +1(415)123-4567
   DoxDialerCaller.dialPhoneNumber(DialActivity.this, "4151234567");
   DoxDialerCaller.dialPhoneNumber(DialActivity.this, "+1(415)123-4567");

Icons

The library also includes a version of the Doximity Dialer icon appropriate for use inside Button or ImageView. It's available in the /DoxDialerIconDrawables folder.
