Package names for Phone app on Huawei phones

Question

I am developing android app and want to launch Phone app from one of my dashboard screen. But Phone app is merged with contacts app, and when I open it opening contacts app by default,instead it should open Phone app. I have set , intent.setClassName( "com.android.contacts", "com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity") and starting activity, but its opening contacts screen instead of phone.

Can anyone suggest?

I think in most (if not all) Huawei devices the package responsible for the phone app is com.android.phone

From within an activity you can use the following intent to open the dialer:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); 
startActivity(intent);
