Usage

Setup

import RNCallKeep from 'react-native-callkeep';

const options = {
  ios: {
    appName: 'My app name',
  },
  android: {
    alertTitle: 'Permissions required',
    alertDescription: 'This application needs to access your phone accounts',
    cancelButton: 'Cancel',
    okButton: 'ok',
    imageName: 'phone_account_icon',
    additionalPermissions: [PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.example]
  }
};

RNCallKeep.setup(options).then(accepted => {});
  • options: Object
    • ios: object
      • appName: string (required) It will be displayed on system UI when incoming calls received
      • imageName: string (optional) If provided, it will be displayed on system UI during the call
      • ringtoneSound: string (optional) If provided, it will be played when incoming calls received; the system will use the default ringtone if this is not provided
      • includesCallsInRecents: boolean (optional) If provided, calls will be shown in the recent calls when true and not when false (ios 11 and above)
      • maximumCallGroups: string (optional) If provided, the maximum number of call groups supported by this application (Default: 3)
      • maximumCallsPerCallGroup: string (optional) If provided, the maximum number of calls in a single group, used for conferencing (Default: 1, no conferencing)
      • supportsVideo: boolean (optional) If provided, whether or not the application supports video calling (Default: true)
    • android: object
      • alertTitle: string (required) When asking for phone account permission, we need to provider a title for the Alert to ask the user for it
      • alertDescription: string (required) When asking for phone account permission, we need to provider a description for the Alert to ask the user for it
      • cancelButton: string (required) Cancel button label
      • okButton: string (required) Ok button label
      • imageName: string (optional) The image to use in the Android Phone application's native UI for enabling/disabling calling accounts. Should be a 48x48 HDPI grayscale PNG image. Must be in your drawable resources for the parent application. Must be lowercase and underscore (_) characters only, as Java doesn't like capital letters on resources.
      • additionalPermissions: [PermissionsAndroid] (optional) Any additional permissions you'd like your app to have at first launch. Can be used to simplify permission flows and avoid multiple popups to the user at different times.

setup calls internally registerPhoneAccount and registerEvents.

Constants

To make passing the right integer into methods easier, there are constants that are exported from the module.

const CONSTANTS = {
  END_CALL_REASONS: {
    FAILED: 1,
    REMOTE_ENDED: 2,
    UNANSWERED: 3,
    ANSWERED_ELSEWHERE: 4,
    DECLINED_ELSEWHERE: 5,
    MISSED: 6
  }
};

const { CONSTANTS as CK_CONSTANTS, RNCallKeep } from 'react-native-callkeep';

console.log(CK_CONSTANTS.END_CALL_REASONS.FAILED) // outputs 1

Methods

setAvailable

This feature is available only on Android.

Tell ConnectionService that the device is ready to make outgoing calls via the native Phone app. 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, when your user log out ... Eg: When your used log out (or the connection to your server is broken, etc..), you have to call setAvailable(false) so CallKeep will refuse the call and your user will not be stuck in the native UI.

RNCallKeep.setAvailable(true);
  • active: boolean
    • Tell whether the app is ready or not

setCurrentCallActive

This feature is available only on Android.

Mark the current call as active (eg: when the callee has answered). Necessary to set the correct Android capabilities (hold, mute) once the call is set as active. Be sure to set this only after your call is ready for two way audio; used both incoming and outgoing calls.

RNCallKeep.setCurrentCallActive(uuid);
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall

isCallActive

This feature is available only on IOS.

Returns true if the UUID passed matches an existing and answered call. This will return true ONLY if the call exists and the user has already answered the call. It will return false if the call does not exist or has not been answered. This is exposed to both React Native and Native sides. This was exposed so a call can be canceled if ringing and the user answered on a different device.

RNCallKeep.isCallActive(uuid);
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall

displayIncomingCall

Display system UI for incoming calls

RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall(uuid, handle, localizedCallerName);
  • uuid: string
    • An uuid that should be stored and re-used for stopCall.
  • handle: string
    • Phone number of the caller
  • localizedCallerName: string (optional)
    • 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)

answerIncomingCall

This feature is available only on Android.

Use this to tell the sdk a user answered a call from the app UI.

RNCallKeep.answerIncomingCall(uuid)
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall

startCall

When you make an outgoing call, tell the device that a call is occurring. The argument list is slightly different on iOS and Android:

iOS:

RNCallKeep.startCall(uuid, handle, contactIdentifier, handleType, hasVideo);

Android:

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

updateDisplay

Use this to update the display after an outgoing call has started.

RNCallKeep.updateDisplay(uuid, displayName, handle)
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall
  • displayName: string (optional)
    • Name of the caller to be displayed on the native UI
  • handle: string
    • Phone number of the caller

endCall

When finish an incoming/outgoing call.
(When user actively chooses to end the call from your app's UI.)

RNCallKeep.endCall(uuid);
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall

endAllCalls

End all ongoing calls.

RNCallKeep.endAllCalls();

rejectCall

When you reject an incoming call.

RNCallKeep.rejectCall(uuid);
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall

reportEndCallWithUUID

Report that the call ended without the user initiating.
(Not ended by user, is usually due to the following reasons)

RNCallKeep.reportEndCallWithUUID(uuid, reason);
  • uuid: string
    • The uuid used for startCall or displayIncomingCall
  • reason: int
    • Reason for the end call
      • Call failed: 1
      • Remote user ended call: 2
      • Remote user did not answer: 3
      • Call Answered elsewhere: 4
      • Call declined elsewhere: 5 (on Android this will map to Remote user ended call if you use the constants)
      • Missed: 6 (on iOS this will map to remote user ended call)
    • Access reasons as constants
    const { CONSTANTS as CK_CONSTANTS, RNCallKeep } from 'react-native-callkeep';
    
    RNCallKeep.reportEndCallWithUUID(uuid, CK_CONSTANTS.END_CALL_REASONS.FAILED);

setMutedCall

Switch the mic on/off.

RNCallKeep.setMutedCall(uuid, true);
  • uuid: string
    • uuid of the current call.
  • muted: boolean

setOnHold

Set a call on/off hold.

RNCallKeep.setOnHold(uuid, true)
  • uuid: string
    • uuid of the current call.
  • hold: 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();

hasOutgoingCall (async)

This feature is available only on Android, useful when waking up the application for an outgoing call.

When waking up the Android application in background mode (eg: when the application is killed and the user make a call from the native Phone application). The user can hang up the call before your application has been started in background mode, and you can lost the RNCallKeepPerformEndCallAction event.

To be sure that the outgoing call is still here, you can call hasOutgoingCall when you app waken up.

const hasOutgoingCall = await RNCallKeep.hasOutgoingCall();

hasDefaultPhoneAccount

Checks if the user has set a default phone account. If the user has not set a default they will be prompted to do so with an alert.

This is a workaround for an issue affecting some Samsung devices.

This feature is available only on Android.

const options = {
  alertTitle: 'Default not set',
  alertDescription: 'Please set the default phone account'
};

RNCallKeep.hasDefaultPhoneAccount(options);

backToForeground

This feature is available only on Android.

Use this to display the application in foreground if the application was in background state. This method will open the application if it was closed.

RNCallKeep.backToForeground();

Events

didReceiveStartCallAction

Device sends this event once it decides the app is allowed to start a call, either from the built-in phone screens (iOS/Recents, Android/Contact), or by the app calling RNCallKeep.startCall.

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

Note: on iOS callUUID is not defined as the call is not yet managed by CallKit. You have to generate your own and call startCall.

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

});
  • handle (string)
    • Phone number of the callee
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call that is to be answered
  • name (string)
    • Name of the callee

- answerCall

User answer the incoming call

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('answerCall', ({ callUUID }) => {
  // Do your normal `Answering` actions here.
});
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call that is to be answered.

- endCall

User finish the call.

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('endCall', ({ callUUID }) => {
  // Do your normal `Hang Up` actions here
});
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call that is to be ended.

- didActivateAudioSession

The AudioSession has been activated by RNCallKeep.

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didActivateAudioSession', () => {
  // you might want to do following things when receiving this event:
  // - Start playing ringback if it is an outgoing call
});

- didDisplayIncomingCall

Callback for RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didDisplayIncomingCall', ({ error, callUUID, handle, localizedCallerName, hasVideo, fromPushKit, payload }) => {
  // you might want to do following things when receiving this event:
  // - Start playing ringback if it is an outgoing call
});
  • error (string)
    • iOS only.
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call.
  • handle (string)
    • Phone number of the caller
  • localizedCallerName (string)
    • Name of the caller to be displayed on the native UI
  • hasVideo (string)
    • 1 (video enabled)
    • 0 (video not enabled)
  • fromPushKit (string)
    • 1 (call triggered from PushKit)
    • 0 (call not triggered from PushKit)
  • payload (object)
    • VOIP push payload.

- didPerformSetMutedCallAction

A call was muted by the system or the user:

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didPerformSetMutedCallAction', ({ muted, callUUID }) => {

});
  • muted (boolean)
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call.

- didToggleHoldCallAction

A call was held or unheld by the current user

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didToggleHoldCallAction', ({ hold, callUUID }) => {

});
  • hold (boolean)
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call.

- didPerformDTMFAction

Used type a number on his dialer

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didPerformDTMFAction', ({ digits, callUUID }) => {

});
  • digits (string)
    • The digits that emit the dtmf tone
  • callUUID (string)
    • The UUID of the call.

- didLoadWithEvents

iOS only.

Called as soon as JS context initializes if there were some actions performed by user before JS context has been created.

Since iOS 13, you must display incoming call on receiving PushKit push notification. But if app was killed, it takes some time to create JS context. If user answers the call (or ends it) before JS context has been initialized, user actions will be passed as events array of this event. Similar situation can happen if user would like to start a call from Recents or similar iOS app, assuming that your app was in killed state.

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('didLoadWithEvents', (events) => {
  // see example usage in https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-callkeep/pull/169
});
  • events Array
    • name: string Native event name like: RNCallKeepPerformAnswerCallAction
    • data: object Object with data passed together with specific event so it can be handled in the same way like original event, for example ({ callUUID }) for answerCall event if name is RNCallKeepPerformAnswerCallAction

- checkReachability

On Android when the application is in background, after a certain delay the OS will close every connection with informing about it. So we have to check if the application is reachable before making a call from the native phone application.

RNCallKeep.addEventListener('checkReachability', () => {
  RNCallKeep.setReachable();
});

removeEventListener

Allows to remove the listener on an event.

RNCallKeep.removeEventListener('checkReachability');

registerPhoneAccount

Registers Android phone account manually, useful for custom permission prompts when you don't want to call setup(). This method is called by setup, if you already use setup you don't need it.

This feature is available only on Android. On iOS you still have to call setup().

RNCallKeep.registerPhoneAccount();

registerAndroidEvents

Registers Android UI events, useful when you don't want to call setup(). This method is called by setup, if you already use setup you don't need it.

This feature is available only on Android. On iOS you still have to call setup().

RNCallKeep.registerAndroidEvents();

Example

A full example is available in the example folder.

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

class RNCallKeepExample extends React.Component {

Receiving a call when the application is not reachable.

In some case your application can be unreachable :

  • when the user kill the application
  • when it's in background since a long time (eg: after ~5mn the os will kill all connections).

To be able to wake up your application to display the incoming call, you can use https://github.com/ianlin/react-native-voip-push-notification on iOS or BackgroundMessaging from react-native-firebase-(Optional)(Android-only)-Listen-for-FCM-messages-in-the-background).

You have to send a push to your application, like with Firebase for Android and with a library supporting PushKit pushes for iOS.

PushKit

Since iOS 13, you'll have to report the incoming calls that wakes up your application with a VoIP push. Add this in your AppDelegate.m if you're using VoIP pushes to wake up your application :

- (void)pushRegistry:(PKPushRegistry *)registry didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload:(PKPushPayload *)payload forType:(PKPushType)type withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(void))completion {
  // Process the received push
  [RNVoipPushNotificationManager didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload:payload forType:(NSString *)type];

  // Retrieve information like handle and callerName here
  // NSString *uuid = /* fetch for payload or ... */ [[[NSUUID UUID] UUIDString] lowercaseString];
  // NSString *callerName = @"caller name here";
  // NSString *handle = @"caller number here";
  // NSDictionary *extra = [payload.dictionaryPayload valueForKeyPath:@"custom.path.to.data"]; /* use this to pass any special data (ie. from your notification) down to RN. Can also be `nil` */

  [RNCallKeep reportNewIncomingCall:uuid handle:handle handleType:@"generic" hasVideo:false localizedCallerName:callerName fromPushKit: YES payload:extra withCompletionHandler:completion];
}

Debug

Android

adb logcat *:S RNCallKeepModule:V

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that you construct a valid uuid by importing the uuid library and running uuid.v4() as shown in the examples. If you don't do this and use a custom string, the incoming call screen will never be shown on iOS.
