Methods

setActive

This feature is available only on Android.

Tell ConnectionService that the device is ready to accept outgoing calls. If not the user will be stuck in the build UI screen without any actions. Eg: Call it with false when disconnected from the sip client, when your token expires ...

RNCallKeep.setActive(true);

• active: boolean
  • Tell whenever the app is ready or not

displayIncomingCall

Display system UI for incoming call

RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall(uuid, handle);

• uuid: string
  • An uuid that should be stored and re-used for stopCall.
• handle: string
  • Phone number of the caller
• localizedCallerName: string (optional, iOS only)
  • Name of the caller to be displayed on the native UI
• handleType: string (optional, iOS only)
  • generic
  • number (default)
  • email
• hasVideo: boolean (optional, iOS only)
  • false (default)
  • true (you know... when not false)

startCall

When you make an outgoing call, tell the device that a call is occurring. This feature is available only on iOs.

RNCallKeep.startCall(uuid, number);

• uuid: string
  • An uuid that should be stored and re-used for stopCall.
• handle: string
  • Phone number of the callee
• handleType: string (optional, iOS only)
  • generic
  • number (default)
  • email
• hasVideo: boolean (optional, iOS only)
  • false (default)
  • true (you know... when not false)
• contactIdentifier: string (optional)
  • The identifier is displayed in the native call UI, and is typically the name of the call recipient.

endCall

When you finish an incoming/outgoing call.

RNCallKeep.endCall(uuid);

• uuid: string
  • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall

setMutedCall

Switch the mic on/off. This feature is available only on iOs.

RNCallKeep.setMutedCall(uuid, true);

• uuid: string
  • uuid of the current call.
• muted: boolean

checkIfBusy

Checks if there are any active calls on the device and returns a promise with a boolean value (true if there're active calls, false otherwise). This feature is available only on iOs.

RNCallKeep.checkIfBusy();

checkSpeaker

Checks if the device speaker is on and returns a promise with a boolean value (true if speaker is on, false otherwise). This feature is available only on iOs.

RNCallKeep.checkSpeaker();

supportConnectionService (async)

Tells if ConnectionService is available on the device (returns a boolean).

This feature is available only on Android.

RNCallKeep.supportConnectionService();

hasPhoneAccount (async)

Checks if the user has enabled the phone account for your application. A phone account must be enable to be able to display UI screen on incoming call and make outgoing calls from native Contact application.

Returns a promise of a boolean.

This feature is available only on Android.

await RNCallKeep.hasPhoneAccount();

Events

Try to start your call action from here (e.g. get credentials of the user by data.handle and/or send INVITE to your SIP server)

After all works are done, remember to call RNCallKeep.startCall(uuid, calleeNumber)

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didReceiveStartCallAction', ({ handle }) => {
  
});

• handle (string)
  • The number/name got from Recents in built-in Phone app

- answerCall

  // - Start playing ringback if it is an outgoing call
});

- didDisplayIncomingCall

Callback for RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didDisplayIncomingCall', ({ error }) => {

Example

A full example is available in the wazo-react-native-demo repository.

import React from 'react';
import RNCallKeep from 'react-native-callkeep';
import uuid from 'uuid';

class RNCallKeepExample extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    
    this.currentCallId = null;
    
    // Initialise RNCallKeep
    const options = {
      ios: {
        appName: 'WazoReactNativeDemo',
      },
      android: {
        alertTitle: 'Permissions required',
        alertDescription: 'This application needs to access your phone accounts',
        cancelButton: 'Cancel',
        okButton: 'ok',
      }
    };
    

    try {
      RNCallKeep.setup(options);
      RNCallKeep.setActive(true); // Only used for Android, see doc above.
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('initializeCallKeep error:', err.message);
    }

    // Add RNCallKeep Events
    RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didReceiveStartCallAction', this.onNativeCall);
    RNCallKeep.addEventListener('answerCall', this.onAnswerCallAction);
    RNCallKeep.addEventListener('endCall', this.onEndCallAction);
    RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didDisplayIncomingCall', this.onIncomingCallDisplayed);
    RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didPerformSetMutedCallAction', this.onToggleMute);
    RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didActivateAudioSession', this.audioSessionActivated);
  }

  onNativeCall = ({ handle }) => {
    // Your normal start call action

    RNCallKeep.startCall(this.getCurrentCallId(), handle);
  };

  onAnswerCallAction = ({ callUUID }) => {
    // called when the user answer the incoming call
  };
  
  onEndCallAction = ({ callUUID }) => {
    RNCallKeep.endCall(this.getCurrentCallId());
    
    this.currentCallId = null;
  };
  
  onIncomingCallDisplayed = error => {
    // You will get this event after RNCallKeep finishes showing incoming call UI
    // You can check if there was an error while displaying
  };

  onToggleMute = (muted) => {
    // Called when the system or the user mutes a call
  };

  audioSessionActivated = (data) => {
    // you might want to do following things when receiving this event:
    // - Start playing ringback if it is an outgoing call
  };
  
  getCurrentCallId = () => {
    if (!this.currentCallId) {
      this.currentCallId = uuid.v4();
    }

    return this.currentCallId;
  };

  render() {
  }
