With the Gruveo SDK, you can add video and voice calling support to your Android app, quickly. The SDK provides a ready-to-use, white-label screen with a video and voice calling interface that you can use right away.
Include JitPack by adding the following in your project build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
Add Gruveo SDK in your module build.gradle dependencies:
compile 'org.bitbucket.gruveo:gruveo-sdk-android:{latest version}'
Add the following activity in your manifest file:
<activity
android:name="com.gruveo.sdk.ui.CallActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"/>
The snippet below showcases launching a Gruveo call screen using the demo
client ID that limits all calls to 5 minutes. The snippet uses a token signing endpoint provided by us; you will need your own server-side signing implementation in production. See SDK Authentication for details.
private static final String SIGNER_URL = "https://api-demo.gruveo.com/signer";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
new Gruveo.Builder(this)
.callCode("gruveorocks")
.clientId("demo")
.eventsListener(eventsListener)
.build();
}
private Gruveo.EventsListener eventsListener = new Gruveo.EventsListener() {
@Override
public void requestToSignApiAuthToken(String token) {
try {
Gruveo.Companion.authorize(signToken(token));
} catch (IOException ignored) {
}
}
...
};
private String signToken(String token) throws IOException {
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), token);
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(SIGNER_URL)
.post(body)
.build();
Response response = new OkHttpClient().newCall(request).execute();
return response.body().string();
}
For more advanced configuration and options, check the sample file and the SDK documentation.

At least Android 4.2.x (API 17).
The Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO permission is mandatory for making calls, Manifest.permission.CAMERA is needed only for video calls. However, it is all handled by the SDK, so you do not have to bother with it.
The SDK manifest file contains the following features and permisions, so you do not have to add them in your project.
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
The SDK is minified with self-contained proguard rules, so you do not have to add any.
