I have a strange problem. I am not able to open either dial pad with pre defined number or mail intent from app.
I am using netbeans 8.0.1 for creating cordova apps. My Cordova version is 4.0.0.
I created an app following the steps and selected a template of HelloWorld Cordova. I modified its html file to something as below:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
<meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />
<!--WARNING: for iOS 7, remove the width=device-width and height=device-height attributes. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4323-->
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><a href="tel:+919685968574" >call</a></h1><br>
<h1><a href="mailto:abc@gmail.com?subject=Hello" >Send Mail</a></h1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Strange thing is that, I at last tried, installing all the core plugins of Cordova, but still it didn't work.
Please help me out... Thanks...
Edit: I refered these links, but it didnt help:

Yes.. I too was trapped with this error for 3 days... and after that I found a solution. I dont remember the URL from which i found it, but I remember the solution.
First of all, You need to install In-App browser plugin of Cordova into your app.
and then, with just a little modification to your html you will get what you want.
Hope you get what you want. The above was just an example. You can modify it as per your requirements.
For Call:
The only solution which worked for me is:
navigator.app.loadUrl('tel:+919999999999', { openExternal:true });
I tried on android its working. Cordova -v 4.1.2
