43              accepted. Valid examples include the following:</p>
44              <ul>
45                  <li>tel:2125551212 </li>

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

103x 3 aspect ratio display Android phones in portrait mode will adjust the zoom so
104that the vertical FOV is approximately the same as the landscape vertical FOV.
105This means that the horizontal FOV of an Android phone in portrait mode is much
106narrower than in landscape mode. This is done to minimize the fisheye lens
107effect that would be present if a 90 degree horizontal FOV was used in portrait
108mode.</td></tr>
