    in their standard Android implementation. </p>
<h3>Intents handled by Google Android applications<a name="googleintents" id="googleintents"></a></h3>
 <p> Android ships with Activities that handle the following Intent URI/Action pairs. </p>

              in <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3966">the IETF RFC 3966</a> are
              accepted. Valid examples include the following:</p>
              <ul>
                  <li>tel:2125551212 </li>
                  <li>tel:

              </ul>
              <p>The dialer is good at normalizing some kinds of schemes: for example
                  telephone numbers, so the schema described isn't strictly required
                  in the {@link android.net.Uri#parse(java.lang.String)
                  Uri(URI string)} factory. However, if you have not tried a
                  schema or are unsure whether it can be handled, use the {@link
                  android.net.Uri#fromParts(java.lang.String, java.lang.String,
                  java.lang.String) Uri.fromParts(scheme, ssp, fragment)} factory
              instead.</p>
              <p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This requires your
              application to request the following permission in your manifest: <code>&lt;uses-permission
              id=&quot;android.permission.CALL_PHONE&quot; /&gt;</code></p></td>

              zoom level is 23. A larger zoom level will be clamped to 23.

       A zoom of 1.0 is 90 degree horizontal FOV for a nominal                                             
       landscape mode 4 x 3 aspect ratio display.                                                          
       Android phones in portrait mode will adjust the zoom so that                                        
       the vertical FOV is approximately the same as the landscape vertical                                
       FOV. This means that the horizontal FOV of an Android phone in portrait                             
       mode is much narrower than in landscape mode. This is done to minimize                              
       the fisheye lens effect that would be present if a 90 degree horizontal                             
       FOV was used in portrait mode.</td></tr>
