SIP Credentials

In order to start making and receiving calls using the TelnyxRTC SDK you will need to get SIP Credentials:

1. Access to https://portal.telnyx.com/
2. Sign up for a Telnyx Account.
3. Create a Credential Connection to configure how you connect your calls.
4. Create an Outbound Voice Profile to configure your outbound call settings and assign it to your Credential Connection.

For more information on how to generate SIP credentials check the Telnyx WebRTC quickstart guide.

Usage

Telnyx Client

NOTE: Remember to add and handle INTERNET, RECORD_AUDIO and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions

To initialize the TelnyxClient you will have to provide the application context. Once an instance is created, you can call the .connect() method to connect to the socket. An error will appear as a socket response if there is no network available:

  telnyxClient = TelnyxClient(context)
  telnyxClient.connect()

Logging into Telnyx Client

To log into the Telnyx WebRTC client, you'll need to authenticate using a Telnyx SIP Connection. Follow our quickstart guide to create JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) to authenticate. To log in with a token we use the tokinLogin() method. You can also authenticate directly with the SIP Connection username and password with the credentialLogin() method:

 telnyxClient.tokenLogin(tokenConfig)
                //OR
 telnyxClient.credentialLogin(credentialConfig)             

Note: tokenConfig and credentialConfig are data classes that represent login settings for the client to use. They look like this:

sealed class TelnyxConfig

/**
 * Represents a SIP user for login - Credential based
 *
 * @property sipUser The SIP username of the user logging in
 * @property sipPassword The SIP password of the user logging in
 * @property sipCallerIDName The user's chosen Caller ID Name
 * @property sipCallerIDNumber The user's Caller ID Number
 * @property fcmToken The user's Firebase Cloud Messaging device ID
 * @property ringtone The integer raw value or uri of the audio file to use as a ringtone. Supports only raw file or uri
 * @property ringBackTone The integer raw value of the audio file to use as a ringback tone
 * @property logLevel The log level that the SDK should use - default value is none.
 * @property autoReconnect whether or not to reattempt (3 times) the login in the instance of a failure to connect and register to the gateway with valid credentials
 */
data class CredentialConfig(
    val sipUser: String,
    val sipPassword: String,
    val sipCallerIDName: String?,
    val sipCallerIDNumber: String?,
    val fcmToken: String?,
    val ringtone: Any?,
    val ringBackTone: Int?,
    val logLevel: LogLevel = LogLevel.NONE,
    val autoReconnect : Boolean = true
    ) : TelnyxConfig()

/**
 * Represents a SIP user for login - Token based
 *
 * @property sipToken The JWT token for the SIP user.
 * @property sipCallerIDName The user's chosen Caller ID Name
 * @property sipCallerIDNumber The user's Caller ID Number
 * @property fcmToken The user's Firebase Cloud Messaging device ID

 */
data class TokenConfig(
    val sipToken: String,
    val sipCallerIDName: String?,
    val sipCallerIDNumber: String?,
    val fcmToken: String?,
    val ringtone: Any?,
    val ringBackTone: Int?,
    val logLevel: LogLevel = LogLevel.NONE,
    val autoReconnect : Boolean = true,
    ) : TelnyxConfig()

Creating a call invitation

In order to make a call invitation, you need to provide your callerName, callerNumber, the destinationNumber (or SIP credential), and your clientState (any String value).

   telnyxClient.call.newInvite(callerName, callerNumber, destinationNumber, clientState)

Accepting a call

In order to be able to accept a call, we first need to listen for invitations. We do this by getting the Telnyx Socket Response as LiveData:

  fun getSocketResponse(): LiveData<SocketResponse<ReceivedMessageBody>>? =
        telnyxClient.getSocketResponse()

We can then use this method to create a listener that listens for an invitation - in this example we assume getSocketResponse is a method within a ViewModel.

 mainViewModel.getSocketResponse()
            ?.observe(this, object : SocketObserver<ReceivedMessageBody>() {
                override fun onConnectionEstablished() {
                    // Handle a succesfully established connection 
                }
                
                override fun onMessageReceived(data: ReceivedMessageBody?) {
                    when (data?.method) {
                        SocketMethod.CLIENT_READY.methodName -> {
                            // Fires once client has correctly been setup and logged into, you can now make calls. 
                        }

                        SocketMethod.LOGIN.methodName -> {
                           // Handle a successful login - Update UI or Navigate to new screen, etc.
                        }

                        SocketMethod.INVITE.methodName -> {
                           // Handle an invitation Update UI or Navigate to new screen, etc. 
                           // Then, through an answer button of some kind we can accept the call with:
                            val inviteResponse = data.result as InviteResponse
                            mainViewModel.acceptCall(inviteResponse.callId,  inviteResponse.callerIdNumber)
                        }

                        SocketMethod.ANSWER.methodName -> {
                            //Handle a received call answer - Update UI or Navigate to new screen, etc.
                        }

                        SocketMethod.BYE.methodName -> {
                           // Handle a call rejection or ending - Update UI or Navigate to new screen, etc.
                        }
                    }
                }
                
                override fun onLoading() {
                    // Show loading dialog
                }

                override fun onError(message: String?) {
                   // Handle errors - Update UI or Navigate to new screen, etc.
                }

                override fun onSocketDisconnect() {
                    // Handle disconnect - Update UI or Navigate to login screen, etc.
                }

            })

When we receive a call we will receive an InviteResponse data class that contains the details we need to accept the call. We can then call the acceptCall method in TelnyxClient from our ViewModel:

Handling Multiple Calls

The Telnyx WebRTC SDK allows for multiple calls to be handled at once. You can use the callId to differentiate the calls..

import java.util.UUID
// Retrieve all calls from the TelnyxClient
val calls: Map<UUID,Call> = telnyxClient.calls 

// Retrieve a specific call by callId
val currentCall: Call? = calls[callId]

With the current call object, you can perform actions such as:

1. Hold/UnHold currentCall.onHoldUnholdPressed(callId: UUID)
2. Mute/UnMute currentCall.onMuteUnmutePressed()
3. AcceptCall currentCall.acceptCall(...)
4. EndCall currentCall.endCall(callId: UUID)

Adding push notifications

The Telnyx Android Client WebRTC SDK makes use of Firebase Cloud Messaging in order to deliver push notifications. If you want to receive notifications for incoming calls on your Android mobile device you have to enable Firebase Cloud Messaging within your application.

In order to do this you need to:

   1. Set up a Firebase console account
   2. Create a Firebase project
   3. Add Firebase to your Android Application
   4. Setup a Push Credential within the Telnyx Portal
   5. Generate a Firebase Cloud Messaging instance token
   6. Send the token with your login message

Finally, you will need to provide the connect(..) method with a txPushMetaData value retrieved from push notification. The txPushMetaData is neccessary for push notifications to work.

  telnyxClient = TelnyxClient(context)
  telnyxClient.connect(txPushMetaData)

For a detailed tutorial, please visit our official Push Notification Docs

ProGuard changes

NOTE: In the case that you need to modify your application's proguard settings in order to obfuscate your code, such as we have done below:

app/build.gradle

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            shrinkResources true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            jniDebuggable true
        }
        debug {
            minifyEnabled true
            shrinkResources true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            debuggable true
            jniDebuggable true
        }
    }

please keep in mind that you will need to add the following rules to the proguard-rules.pro file in your app in order for the SDK to continue functioning

app/proguard-rules.pro

-keep class org.webrtc.** { *; }
-keep class com.telnyx.webrtc.sdk.** { *; }
