Customize iPhone Dialer

Is there a way to customize the calling dialer interface of iphone to make calls and everything as that the iphone dialer supports by using a public API reference. If there is a way then can anyone please direct me to a proper link where I can read about it. I know

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://8005551212"]];

this helps to make a开发者_C百科 call but I want to not open the default interface which I don't want to open. I will appreciate if anyone can help me with this.

Regards, Ankur

No, there's no public interface for that. If you really need that feature you can try to send bug report to Apple with a request for it.

As @Vladimir says, this is not built in, so you'll need to build your own.

To do so is pretty easy:

1. Create a xib file with a set of UIButtons (for #s 1-9), a UILabel to show the currently entered number, and a "Call" button.
   • Hook up the presses on the number UIButtons and add the digit to a local variable NSString on your ViewController. Update the UILabel with this number.
   • When the call UIButton is pressed, take the locally stored # and place the aforementioned method call with it.
