Voxeet Cordova Plugin

cordova-plugin-voxeet

This plugin is bridging the Voxeet's Toolkit/ConferenceKit calls. You can interacting with the plugin after the Cordova's deviceReady event.

It is mandatory that you added:

• the iOS platform cordova platform add ios
• the Android platform cordova platform add android

Installation

`cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-voxeet`

Note: in some cases, it is needed to initialize the SDK beforehand. Especially in cases a plugin used by the application is delaying the onDeviceReady event.

`cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-voxeet --variable VOXEET_CORDOVA_CONSUMER_KEY="your key" --variable VOXEET_CORDOVA_CONSUMER_SECRET="your secret"`

iOS

• after cordova platform add ios in the project root folder
• set ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES in Xcode build settings to true

To enable VoIP notification, follow https://github.com/voxeet/voxeet-ios-conferencekit#project-setup

Android

To enable push notification, follow the steps in the app, for push notification, follow https://github.com/voxeet/android-sdk-sample

• Verify that the Voxeet Push Notification services's tags are before the other services registered in the AndroidManifest with the proper priority to prevent Cordova's FCM issues

• You also need to make a modification in the generated MainActivity. Using Android Studio or any other IDE :

right before the call to super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); :

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON |
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
);

This call use the following import : import android.view.WindowManager;

• in order to implement properly the push notification, you also need to register the default accepted view if you changed its name. Edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and put this xml node in the :

<meta-data android:name="voxeet_incoming_accepted_class" android:value="fully.qualified.package.name.to.the.default.cordova.activity" />

Implementation

Usage

The project is now exporting various elements to help integrate calls into your app

Before using the Voxeet singleton, you must use projection to have access to it :

const { Voxeet, UserType } = VoxeetSDK;

Import

You can use the Voxeet and UserInfo classes using the following :

• Voxeet is a singleton from which you will interact with the SDK
• UserInfo is a class :
  • constructor : (externalId: string, name: string, avatarUrl: string)
  • json() : return the corresponding json

Initialize

Voxeet.initialize(<consumer_key>: string , <secret_key>: string)
.then(() => {
  //if the initialization is ok
})
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

Initialize with OAuth2

Voxeet.initializeWithRefresh(accessToken: string , refreshToken: () => Promise<boolean>)

//the refresh token callback to be used
const refreshToken = () => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    cordovaHTTP.get("https://YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_URL", null, {}, function(response) {
      var json = undefined;
      try { json = JSON.parse(response.data); } catch(e) { json = response; };
      resolve(json.access_token) //return your access token
    }, function(response) {
      alert('error ' + response.error);
    });
  });
}

//the actual call to the SDK initialization
refreshToken()
.then(result => Voxeet.initializeToken(result, refreshToken))
.then(() => {
  //if the initialization is ok
})
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

Connect/disconnect a session

var user = new UserInfo(<externalId>: string, <name>: string, <avatarUrl>: string);

Voxeet.connect(user)
.then(() => {
  //if the session is connected
})
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

Voxeet.disconnect()
.then(() => {
  //if the session is disconnected
})
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

Create/join/invite/leave a conference

You can create a conference with a custom alias (optional). You can also invite others to join the current conference by using the invite method.

var user1 = new UserInfo(<externalId>: string, <name>: string, <avatarUrl>: string);
var user2 = new UserInfo(<externalId>: string, <name>: string, <avatarUrl>: string);
var user3 = new UserInfo(<externalId>: string, <name>: string, <avatarUrl>: string);

Voxeet.create({conferenceAlias: 'YOUR_CONFERENCE_ALIAS'})
.then(result => Promise.all([
  Voxeet.join(result.conferenceId),
  result.isNew ? Voxeet.invite(result.conferenceId, [user1, user2, user3]) : null
]))
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

An other example if you don't want to invite anyone and a conference alias isn't needed.

Voxeet.create({})
.then(result => Promise.all([
  Voxeet.join(result.conferenceId),
]))
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

You can also stop a given conference using the following method which will leave the conference.

Voxeet.leave()
.then(() => {
  //call made and everything is ok
})
.catch(err => {
  //in case of error
});

Broadcast a message

Voxeet.sendBroadcastMessage('YOUR_MESSAGE')
.then(() => {
  //message sent
})
.catch(err => {
  //error while sending the message
});

Useful methods

By default, conference appears maximized. If false, the conference will appear minimized.

Voxeet.appearMaximized(true)

By default, conference starts on the built in receiver. If true, it will start on the built in speaker.

Voxeet.defaultBuiltInSpeaker(true)

By default, conference starts without video. If true, it will enable the video at conference start.

Voxeet.defaultVideo(true)

Cordova example

var user1 = new UserInfo('0', 'Benoit', 'https://cdn.voxeet.com/images/team-benoit-senard.png');
var user2 = new UserInfo('1', 'Stephane', 'https://cdn.voxeet.com/images/team-stephane-giraudie.png');
var user3 = new UserInfo('2', 'Thomas', 'https://cdn.voxeet.com/images/team-thomas.png');

Voxeet.initialize('YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY', 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET')
.then(() => Voxeet.appearMaximized(true))
.then(() => Voxeet.defaultBuiltInSpeaker(true))
.then(() => Voxeet.defaultVideo(true))
.then(() => Voxeet.connect(user1))
.then(() => Voxeet.create({conferenceAlias: 'YOUR_CONFERENCE_ALIAS', params: {videoCodec: 'H264'}}))
.then(result => Promise.all([
  Voxeet.join(result.conferenceId),
  result.isNew ? Voxeet.invite(result.conferenceId, [user2, user3]) : null
]))
.then(() => Voxeet.sendBroadcastMessage('Hello world'))
.then(() => Voxeet.leave())
.then(() => Voxeet.disconnect())
.then(() => alert("done"))
.error(err => alert(err));

Example starting Broadcasting/Webinar mode

To start a webinar or broadcast mode conference,

Conference creation

const options:  = {
  alias: "some_alias",
  params: {
    liveRecording: true
  }
}

const promise = Voxeet.create(options);
//resolving

Joining it

const promise = Voxeet.broadcast(conferenceId);
//resolving

Enabling Android push notification

Inside your project's config.xml

add the following preference at the end :

<widget>
  <every other="tags" />
  <preference name="VOXEET_CORDOVA_USE_PUSH" value="true" />
</widget>

Android Q breaking changes

Previously given as an option, due to new mechanisms preventing standard behaviour, Android Q+ needs the following modification done :

<config-file parent="./application" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
  <meta-data android:name="voxeet_incoming_accepted_class" android:value="fully.qualified.package.name.to.the.default.cordova.activity" />
</config-file>

If this is not set, a caught-exception will be set in the logs.
