react-native-incall-manager

Handling media-routes/sensors/events during a audio/video chat on React Native

Purpose:

The purpose of this module is to handle actions/events during a phone call (audio/video) on react-native, ex:

• manage devices events like wired-headset plugged, proximity sensors and expose to javascript.
• automatically route audio to proper device based on events and platform API.
• toggle speaker or microphone on/off, toggle flash light on/off (not implemented yes)
• play ringtone/ringback/dtmftone

basically, it is a telecommunication module which handle most of requirements when making/receiving/talking to a call.

This module is desinged to work with react-native-webrtc you can find demo here: https://github.com/oney/RCTWebRTCDemo

Installation:

from npm package: npm install react-native-incall-manager
from git package: npm install git://github.com/zxcpoiu/react-native-incall-manager.git

=================================================== ####android:

After install, you can use rnpm (npm install rnpm -g) to link android.
use rnpm link react-native-incall-manager to link or manually if you like.

optional sound files on android if you want to use bundled ringtone/ringback/busytone sound instead of system sound

put files in android/app/src/main/res/raw and rename file correspond to sound type:

incallmanager_busytone.mp3  
incallmanager_ringback.mp3  
incallmanager_ringback.mp3  

on android, as long as your file extension supported by android, this module will load it.

===================================================

####ios:

since ios part written in swift and it doesn't support static library yet.
before that, you should add this project manually:

• Add files in to your project:

  1. Open your project in xcode
  2. find your_project directory under your project's xcodeproject root. ( it's a sub-directoory, not root xcodeproject itself )
  3. you can do either:
  • directly drag your node_modules/react-native-incall-manager/ios/RNInCallManager/ into it.
  • right click on your_project directory, add files to your project and add node_modules/react-native-incall-manager/ios/RNInCallManager/
  4. on the pou-up window, uncheck Copy items if needed and select Added folders: Create groups then add it. you will see a new directory named RNInCallmanager under your_project directory.

• Setup Objective-C Bridging Header:

  1. click your project's xcodeproject root, go to build setting and search Objective-C Bridging Header
  2. set you header location, the default path is: ReactNativeProjectRoot/ios/, in this case, you should set ../node_modules/react-native-incall-manager/ios/RNInCallManager/RNInCallManager-Bridging-Header.h

optional sound files on android if you want to use bundled ringtone/ringback/busytone sound instead of system sound

1. add files into your_project directory under your project's xcodeproject root. ( or drag into it as described above. )
2. check copy file if needed
3. make sure filename correspond to sound type:

incallmanager_busytone.mp3
incallmanager_ringback.mp3  
incallmanager_ringback.mp3  

on ios, we only support mp3 files currently.

Usage:

This module implement a basic handle logic automatically, just:

import InCallManager from 'react-native-incall-manager';

// --- start manager when the chat start based on logics of your app 
// On Call Established:
InCallManager.start({media: 'audio'}); // audio/video, default: audio

// ... it will also register and emit events ...

// --- On Call Hangup:
InCallManager.stop();
// ... it will also remote event listeners ...

if you want to use ringback:

// ringback is basically for OUTGOING call. and is part of start().

InCallManager.start({media: 'audio', ringback: '_BUNDLE_'}); // or _DEFAULT_ or _DTMF_
//when callee answered, you MUST stop ringback explicitly:
InCallManager.stopRingback();

if you want to use busytone:

// busytone is basically for OUTGOING call. and is part of stop()
// If the call failed or callee are busing,
// you may want to stop the call and play busytone
InCallManager.stop({busytone: '_DTMF_'}); // or _BUNDLE_ or _DEFAULT_

if you want to use ringtone:

// ringtone is basically for INCOMING call. it's independent to start() and stop()
// if you receiving an incoming call, before user pick up,
// you may want to play ringtone to notify user.
InCallManager.startRingtone('_BUNDLE_'); // or _DEFAULT_ or system filename with extension

// when user pickup
InCallManager.stopRingtone();
InCallManager.start();

// or user hangup
InCallManager.stopRingtone();
InCallManager.stop();

also can interact with events if you want: see API section.

import { DeviceEventEmitter } from 'react-native';

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('Proximity', function (data) {
    // --- do something with events
});

Automatic Basic Behavior:

on start:

• store current settings, set KeepScreenOn flag = true, and register some event listeners.
• if media type is audio, route voice to earpiece, otherwise route to speaker.
• audio will enable proximity sensor which is disabled by default if media=video
• when proximity detect user closed to screen, turn off screen to avoid accident touch and route voice to earpiece.
• when newly external device plugged, such as wired-headset, route audio to external device.
• optional play ringback

on stop:

• set KeepScreenOn flag = false, remote event listeners, restore original user settings.
• optional play busytone

Custom Behavior:

you can custom behavior use API/events exposed by this module. see API section.

note: ios only supports auto currently.

API:

Methods

Events

NOTE: platform OS always has the final decision, so some toggle api may not work in some case be care when customize your own behavior
