Bring users back to app after using native dialer

How do you bring users back to the app after they launch the native dialer and end the call? Thanks.

For example:

Run JavaScript:

window.open(("tel:" + $(this).text()), '_system');

Then:?

Hello Jiber,

Could you please clarify how it works for you now and what device with what OS are you using?

Bring users back to app after using native dialer

I’m trying to create an in app click to call feature for an in app contact list.
Currently:

  1. User clicks button in Appery app to make a call.
    Javascript: window.open(("tel:" + $(this).text()), '_system');

  2. The native dialer is launched and the user can make a call outside of the Appery app.

  3. After making the call the only way the user can return back to the Appery app is by pressing the back button on their native device. (Example Windows Phone HTC One M8)

  4. How can the user automatically return back to the Appery app without pressing the back button on their native device?

There is no easy way for that, unfortunately. Dialer is a native component, so solution should be within native API, you can't do this in hybrid apps.
