Build real-time voice communication into Android applications using Telnyx WebRTC.
Prerequisites: Create WebRTC credentials and generate a login token using the Telnyx server-side SDK. See the
telnyx-webrtc-*skill in your server language plugin (e.g.,telnyx-python,telnyx-javascript).
Add JitPack repository to your project's build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Add the dependency:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.team-telnyx:telnyx-webrtc-android:latest-version'
}
Add to AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<!-- For push notifications (Android 14+) -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL"/>
val telnyxClient = TelnyxClient(context)
telnyxClient.connect()
val credentialConfig = CredentialConfig(
sipUser = "your_sip_username",
sipPassword = "your_sip_password",
sipCallerIDName = "Display Name",
sipCallerIDNumber = "+15551234567",
fcmToken = fcmToken, // Optional: for push notifications
logLevel = LogLevel.DEBUG,
autoReconnect = true
)
telnyxClient.credentialLogin(credentialConfig)

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| sipUser / sipToken | String | Credentials from Telnyx Portal |
| sipCallerIDName | String? | Caller ID name displayed to recipients |
| sipCallerIDNumber | String? | Caller ID number |
| fcmToken | String? | Firebase Cloud Messaging token for push |
| ringtone | Any? | Raw resource ID or URI for ringtone |
| ringBackTone | Int? | Raw resource ID for ringback tone |
| logLevel | LogLevel | NONE, ERROR, WARNING, DEBUG, INFO, ALL |
| autoReconnect | Boolean | Auto-retry login on failure (3 attempts) |
| region | Region | AUTO, US_EAST, US_WEST, EU_WEST |
// Create a new outbound call
telnyxClient.call.newInvite(
callerName = "John Doe",
callerNumber = "+15551234567",
destinationNumber = "+15559876543",
clientState = "my-custom-state"
)
Listen for socket events using SharedFlow (recommended):
lifecycleScope.launch {
telnyxClient.socketResponseFlow.collect { response ->
when (response.status) {
SocketStatus.ESTABLISHED -> {
// Socket connected
}
SocketStatus.MESSAGERECEIVED -> {
response.data?.let { data ->
when (data.method) {
SocketMethod.CLIENT_READY.methodName -> {
// Ready to make/receive calls
}
SocketMethod.LOGIN.methodName -> {
// Successfully logged in
}
SocketMethod.INVITE.methodName -> {
// Incoming call!
val invite = data.result as InviteResponse
// Show incoming call UI, then accept:
telnyxClient.acceptCall(
invite.callId,
invite.callerIdNumber
)
}
SocketMethod.ANSWER.methodName -> {
// Call was answered
}
SocketMethod.BYE.methodName -> {
// Call ended
}
SocketMethod.RINGING.methodName -> {
// Remote party is ringing
}
}
}
}
SocketStatus.ERROR -> {
// Handle error: response.errorCode
}
SocketStatus.DISCONNECT -> {
// Socket disconnected
}
}
}
}
// Get current call
val currentCall: Call? = telnyxClient.calls[callId]
// End call
currentCall?.endCall(callId)
// Mute/Unmute
currentCall?.onMuteUnmutePressed()
// Hold/Unhold
currentCall?.onHoldUnholdPressed(callId)
// Send DTMF tone
currentCall?.dtmf(callId, "1")
// Get all active calls
val calls: Map<UUID, Call> = telnyxClient.calls
// Iterate through calls
calls.forEach { (callId, call) ->
// Handle each call
}
Add Firebase to your project and get an FCM token:
FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().token.addOnCompleteListener { task ->
if (task.isSuccessful) {
val fcmToken = task.result
// Use this token in your login config
}
}
In your FirebaseMessagingService:
class MyFirebaseService : FirebaseMessagingService() {
override fun onMessageReceived(remoteMessage: RemoteMessage) {
val params = remoteMessage.data
val metadata = JSONObject(params as Map<*, *>).getString("metadata")
// Check for missed call
if (params["message"] == "Missed call!") {
// Show missed call notification
return
}
// Show incoming call notification (use Foreground Service)
showIncomingCallNotification(metadata)
}
}
// The SDK now handles decline automatically
telnyxClient.connectWithDeclinePush(
txPushMetaData = pushMetaData,
credentialConfig = credentialConfig
)
// SDK connects, sends decline, and disconnects automatically
<service
android:name=".YourForegroundService"
android:foregroundServiceType="phoneCall"
android:exported="true" />
Enable metrics to monitor call quality in real-time:
val credentialConfig = CredentialConfig(
// ... other config
debug = true // Enables call quality metrics
)
// Listen for quality updates
lifecycleScope.launch {
currentCall?.callQualityFlow?.collect { metrics ->
println("MOS: ${metrics.mos}")
println("Jitter: ${metrics.jitter * 1000} ms")
println("RTT: ${metrics.rtt * 1000} ms")
println("Quality: ${metrics.quality}") // EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR, POOR, BAD
}
}
| Quality Level | MOS Range | |---------------|-----------| | EXCELLENT | > 4.2 | | GOOD | 4.1 - 4.2 | | FAIR | 3.7 - 4.0 | | POOR | 3.1 - 3.6 | | BAD | ≤ 3.0 |
Connect to a Telnyx Voice AI Agent without traditional SIP credentials:
telnyxClient.connectAnonymously(
targetId = "your_ai_assistant_id",
targetType = "ai_assistant", // Default
targetVersionId = "optional_version_id",
userVariables = mapOf("user_id" to "12345")
)
// After anonymous login, call the AI Agent
telnyxClient.newInvite(
callerName = "User Name",
callerNumber = "+15551234567",
destinationNumber = "", // Ignored for AI Agent
clientState = "state",
customHeaders = mapOf(
"X-Account-Number" to "123", // Maps to {{account_number}}
"X-User-Tier" to "premium" // Maps to {{user_tier}}
)
)
lifecycleScope.launch {
telnyxClient.transcriptUpdateFlow.collect { transcript ->
transcript.forEach { item ->
println("${item.role}: ${item.content}")
// role: "user" or "assistant"
}
}
}
// Send text message during active call
telnyxClient.sendAIAssistantMessage("Hello, I need help with my account")
Implement your own logger:
class MyLogger : TxLogger {
override fun log(level: LogLevel, tag: String?, message: String, throwable: Throwable?) {
// Send to your logging service
MyAnalytics.log(level.name, tag ?: "Telnyx", message)
}
}
val config = CredentialConfig(
// ... other config
logLevel = LogLevel.ALL,
customLogger = MyLogger()
)
If using code obfuscation, add to proguard-rules.pro:
-keep class com.telnyx.webrtc.** { *; }
-dontwarn kotlin.Experimental$Level
-dontwarn kotlin.Experimental
-dontwarn kotlinx.coroutines.scheduling.ExperimentalCoroutineDispatcher
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| No audio | Check RECORD_AUDIO permission is granted |
| Push not received | Verify FCM token is passed in config |
| Login fails | Verify SIP credentials in Telnyx Portal |
| Call drops | Check network stability, enable autoReconnect |
| sender_id_mismatch (push) | FCM project mismatch - ensure app's google-services.json matches server credentials |
