+
+<p>Android provides an API that supports the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
+This lets you add SIP-based internet telephony features to your applications.
+Android includes a full SIP protocol stack and integrated call management
+services that let applications easily set up outgoing and incoming voice calls,
+without having to manage sessions, transport-level communication, or audio
+record or playback directly.</p>
+
+<p>Here are examples of the types of applications that might use the SIP API:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Video conferencing.</li>
+ <li>Instant messaging.</li>
+</ul>
+<h2 id="requirements">Requirements and Limitations</h2>
+<p>Here are the requirements for developing a SIP application:</p>
+<ul>
+
+ <li>You must have a mobile device that is running Android 2.3 or higher. </li>
+
+ <li>SIP runs over a wireless data connection, so your device must have a data
+connection (with a mobile data service or Wi-Fi)</span>. This means that you
+can't test on AVD—you can only test on a physical device. For details, see
+<a href="#testing">Testing SIP Applications</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Each participant in the application's communication session must have a
+SIP account. There are many different SIP providers that offer SIP accounts.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="classes">SIP API Classes and Interfaces</h2>
+
+<p>Here is a summary of the classes and one interface
+(<code>SipRegistrationListener</code>) that are included in the Android SIP
+API:</p>

+
+<h2 id="manifest">Creating the Manifest</h2>
+
+<p>If you are developing an application that uses the SIP API, remember that the
+feature is supported only on Android 2.3 (API level 9) and higher versions of
+the platform. Also, among devices running Android 2.3 (API level 9) or higher,
+not all devices will offer SIP support.</p>
+
+<p>To use SIP, add the following permissions to your application's manifest:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><code>android.permission.USE_SIP</code></li>
+ <li><code>android.permission.INTERNET</code></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p> To ensure that your application can only be installed on devices that are
+capable of supporting SIP, add the following to your application's
+manifest:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><code><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" /></code>. This
+ indicates that your application requires Android 2.3 or higher. For more
+information, see <a href="{@docRoot}guide/appendix/api-levels.html">API
+Levels</a> and the documentation for the <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html"><uses-sdk></a
+> element.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To control how your application is filtered from devices that do not support
+SIP (for example, in Android Market), add the following to your application's
+manifest:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li><code><uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sip.voip"
+/></code>. This states that your application uses the SIP API. The
+declaration should include an <code>android:required</code> attribute that
+indicates whether you want the application to be filtered from devices that do
+not offer SIP support. Other <code><uses-feature></code> declarations
+may also be needed, depending on your implementation. For more information,
+see the documentation for the <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html"><uses-
+feature></a> element.</li>
+
+</ul>
+<p>If your application is designed to receive calls, you must also define a receiver ({@link android.content.BroadcastReceiver} subclass) in the application's manifest: </p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><code><receiver android:name=".IncomingCallReceiver" android:label="Call Receiver"/></code></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Here are excerpts from the <strong>SipDemo</strong> manifest:</p>
+
+
+
+<pre><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ package="com.example.android.sip">
+ ...
+ <receiver android:name=".IncomingCallReceiver" android:label="Call Receiver"/>
+ ...
+ <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" />
+ <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_SIP" />
+ <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
+ ...
+ <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sip.voip" android:required="true" />
+ <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi" android:required="true" />
+ <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="true" />
+</manifest>
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="manager">Creating a SipManager</h2>
+
+<p>To use the SIP API, your application must create a {@link
+android.net.sip.SipManager} object. The {@link android.net.sip.SipManager} takes
+care of the following in your application:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Initiating SIP sessions.</li>
+ <li>Initiating and receiving calls.</li>
+ <li>Registering and unregistering with a SIP provider.</li>
+ <li>Verifying session connectivity.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>You instantiate a new {@link android.net.sip.SipManager} as follows:</p>
+<pre>public SipManager mSipManager = null;
+...
+if(mSipManager == null) {
+ mSipManager = SipManager.newInstance(this);
+}</pre>
+<h2 id="profiles">Registering with a SIP Server</h2>
+
+<p>A typical Android SIP application involves one or more users, each of whom
+has a SIP account. In an Android SIP application, each SIP account is
+represented by a {@link android.net.sip.SipProfile} object.</p>
+
+<p>A {@link android.net.sip.SipProfile} defines a SIP profile, including a SIP
+account, and domain and server information. The profile associated with the SIP
+account on the device running the application is called the <em>local
+profile</em>. The profile that the session is connected to is called the
+<em>peer profile</em>. When your SIP application logs into the SIP server with
+the local {@link android.net.sip.SipProfile}, this effectively registers the
+device as the location to send SIP calls to for your SIP address.</p>
+
+<p>This section shows how to create a {@link android.net.sip.SipProfile},
+register it with a SIP server, and track registration events.</p>
+
+<p>You create a {@link android.net.sip.SipProfile} object as follows:</p>
+<pre>
+public SipProfile mSipProfile = null;
+...
+
+SipProfile.Builder builder = new SipProfile.Builder(username, domain);
+builder.setPassword(password);
+mSipProfile = builder.build();</pre>
+
+<p>The following code excerpt opens the local profile for making calls and/or
+receiving generic SIP calls. The caller can make subsequent calls through
+<code>mSipManager.makeAudioCall</code>. This excerpt also sets the action
+<code>android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL</code>, which will be used by an intent
+filter when the device receives a call (see <a href="#intent_filter">Setting up
+an intent filter to receive calls</a>). This is the registration step:</p>
+
+<pre>Intent intent = new Intent();
+intent.setAction("android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL");
+PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);
+mSipManager.open(mSipProfile, pendingIntent, null);</pre>
+
+<p>Finally, this code sets a <code>SipRegistrationListener</code> on the {@link
+android.net.sip.SipManager}. This tracks whether the {@link
+android.net.sip.SipProfile} was successfully registered with your SIP service
+provider:<br>
+</p>
+
+<pre>mSipManager.setRegistrationListener(mSipProfile.getUriString(), new SipRegistrationListener() {
+
+public void onRegistering(String localProfileUri) {
+ updateStatus("Registering with SIP Server...");
+}
+
+public void onRegistrationDone(String localProfileUri, long expiryTime) {
+ updateStatus("Ready");
+}
+
+public void onRegistrationFailed(String localProfileUri, int errorCode,
+ String errorMessage) {
+ updateStatus("Registration failed. Please check settings.");
+}</pre>
+
+
+<p>When your application is done using a profile, it should close it to free
+associated objects into memory and unregister the device from the server. For
+example:</p>
+
+<pre>public void closeLocalProfile() {
+ if (mSipManager == null) {
+ return;
+ }
+ try {
+ if (mSipProfile != null) {
+ mSipManager.close(mSipProfile.getUriString());
+ }
+ } catch (Exception ee) {
+ Log.d("WalkieTalkieActivity/onDestroy", "Failed to close local profile.", ee);
+ }
+}</pre>
+
+<h2 id="audio">Making an Audio Call</h2>
+<p>To make an audio call, you must have the following in place:</p>
+<ul>
+
+ <li>A {@link android.net.sip.SipProfile} that is making the call (the
+"local profile"), and a valid SIP address to receive the call (the
+"peer profile").
+
+ <li>A {@link android.net.sip.SipManager} object. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To make an audio call, you should set up a {@link
+android.net.sip.SipAudioCall.Listener}. Much of the client's interaction with
+the SIP stack happens through listeners. In this snippet, you see how the {@link
+android.net.sip.SipAudioCall.Listener} sets things up after the call is
+established:</p>
+
+<pre>
+SipAudioCall.Listener listener = new SipAudioCall.Listener() {
+
+ @Override
+ public void onCallEstablished(SipAudioCall call) {
+ call.startAudio();
+ call.setSpeakerMode(true);
+ call.toggleMute();
+ ...
+ }
+
+ @Override
+ public void onCallEnded(SipAudioCall call) {
+ // Do something.
+ }
+};</pre>
+
+<p>Once you've set up the {@link android.net.sip.SipAudioCall.Listener}, you can
+make the call. The {@link android.net.sip.SipManager} method
+<code>makeAudioCall</code> takes the following parameters:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>A local SIP profile (the caller).</li>
+ <li>A peer SIP profile (the user being called).</li>
+
+ <li>A {@link android.net.sip.SipAudioCall.Listener} to listen to the call
+events from {@link android.net.sip.SipAudioCall}. This can be <code>null</code>,
+but as shown above, the listener is used to set things up once the call is
+established.</li>
+
+ <li>The timeout value, in seconds.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For example:</p>
+<pre> call = mSipManager.makeAudioCall(mSipProfile.getUriString(), sipAddress, listener, 30);</pre>
+
+<h2 id="receiving">Receiving Calls</h2>
+
+<p>To receive calls, a SIP application must include a subclass of {@link
+android.content.BroadcastReceiver} that has the ability to respond to an intent
+indicating that there is an incoming call. Thus, you must do the following in
+your application:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>In <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code>, declare a
+<code><receiver></code>. In <strong>SipDemo</strong>, this is
+<code><receiver android:name=".IncomingCallReceiver"
+android:label="Call Receiver"/></code>.</li>
+
+ <li>Implement the receiver, which is a subclass of {@link
+android.content.BroadcastReceiver}. In <strong>SipDemo</strong>, this is
+<code>IncomingCallReceiver</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>Initialize the local profile ({@link android.net.sip.SipProfile}) with a
+pending intent that fires your receiver when someone calls the local profile.
+</li>
+
+ <li>Set up an intent filter that filters by the action that represents an
+incoming call. In <strong>SipDemo</strong>, this action is
+<code>android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL</code>. </li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="BroadcastReceiver">Subclassing BroadcastReceiver</h4>
+
+<p>To receive calls, your SIP application must subclass {@link
+android.content.BroadcastReceiver}. <span id="internal-source-marker_0.">The
+Android system handles incoming SIP calls and broadcasts an "incoming
+call"<code></code> intent (as defined by the application) when it receives
+a call.</span> Here is the subclassed {@link android.content.BroadcastReceiver}
+code from <strong>SipDemo</strong>. To see the full example, go to <a
+href="{@docRoot}resources/samples/SipDemo/index.html">SipDemo sample</a>, which
+is included in the SDK samples. For information on downloading and installing
+the SDK samples, see <a
+href="{@docRoot}resources/samples/get.html">
+Getting the Samples</a>. </p>
+
+<pre>/*** Listens for incoming SIP calls, intercepts and hands them off to WalkieTalkieActivity.
+ */
+public class IncomingCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
+ /**
+ * Processes the incoming call, answers it, and hands it over to the
+ * WalkieTalkieActivity.
+ * @param context The context under which the receiver is running.
+ * @param intent The intent being received.
+ */
+ @Override
+ public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
+ SipAudioCall incomingCall = null;
+ try {
+ SipAudioCall.Listener listener = new SipAudioCall.Listener() {
+ @Override
+ public void onRinging(SipAudioCall call, SipProfile caller) {
+ try {
+ call.answerCall(30);
+ } catch (Exception e) {
+ e.printStackTrace();
+ }
+ }
+ };
+ WalkieTalkieActivity wtActivity = (WalkieTalkieActivity) context;
+ incomingCall = wtActivity.mSipManager.takeAudioCall(intent, listener);
+ incomingCall.answerCall(30);
+ incomingCall.startAudio();
+ incomingCall.setSpeakerMode(true);
+ if(incomingCall.isMuted()) {
+ incomingCall.toggleMute();
+ }
+ wtActivity.call = incomingCall;
+ wtActivity.updateStatus(incomingCall);
+ } catch (Exception e) {
+ if (incomingCall != null) {
+ incomingCall.close();
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+
+<h4 id="intent_filter">Setting up an intent filter to receive calls</h4>
+
+<p>When the SIP service receives a new call, it sends out an intent with the
+action string provided by the application. In SipDemo, this action string is
+<code>android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL</code>. </p>
+<p>This code excerpt from <strong>SipDemo</strong> shows how the {@link
+android.net.sip.SipProfile} object gets created with a pending intent based on
+the action string <code>android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL</code>. The
+<code>PendingIntent</code> object will perform a broadcast when the {@link
+android.net.sip.SipProfile} receives a call:</p>
+
+<pre>
+public SipManager mSipManager = null;
+public SipProfile mSipProfile = null;
+...
+
+Intent intent = new Intent();
+intent.setAction("android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL");
+PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);
+mSipManager.open(mSipProfile, pendingIntent, null);</pre>
+
+<p>The broadcast will be intercepted by the intent filter, which will then fire
+the receiver (<code>IncomingCallReceiver</code>). You can specify an intent
+filter in your application's manifest file, or do it in code as in the <strong>SipDemo</strong>
+sample application's <code>onCreate()</code> method
+of the application's <code>Activity</code>:</p>
+
+<pre>
+public class WalkieTalkieActivity extends Activity implements View.OnTouchListener {
+...
+ public IncomingCallReceiver callReceiver;
+ ...
+
+ @Override
+ public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+
+ IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
+ filter.addAction("android.SipDemo.INCOMING_CALL");
+ callReceiver = new IncomingCallReceiver();
+ this.registerReceiver(callReceiver, filter);
+ ...
+ }
+ ...
+}
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="testing">Testing SIP Applications</h2>
+
+<p>To test SIP applications, you need the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>A mobile device that is running Android 2.3 or higher. SIP runs over
+wireless, so you must test on an actual device. Testing on AVD won't work.</li>
+<li>A SIP account. There are many different SIP providers that offer SIP accounts.</li>
+<li>If you are placing a call, it must also be to a valid SIP account. </li>
+</ul>
+<p>To test a SIP application:</p>
+<ol>
+
+<li>On your device, connect to wireless (<strong>Settings > Wireless & networks
+> Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi settings</strong>)</li>
+<li>Set up your mobile device for testing, as described in <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/device.html">Developing on a Device</a>.</li>
+<li>Run your application on your mobile device, as described in <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/device.html">Developing on a Device</a>.</li>
+
+<li>If you are using Eclipse, you can view the application log output in Eclipse
+using LogCat (<strong>Window > Show View > Other > Android >
+LogCat</strong>).</li>
+</ol>
+
