Kotlin

Building the interface

To be able to place and manage the call, you need to add few elements to the screen:

Button to login Alice user
Button to login Bob user
A TextView to show the connection status
A Button to start the call
A Button to end the call
A Button to answer the call
A Button to reject the call

Open the app/res/layout/activity_main.xml file. Click the Code button in the top right corner:

Replace the file contents with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:id="@+id/content"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/connectionStatusTextView"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp" />

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/loginAsAlice"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
            android:text="Waiting for incoming call"
            android:visibility="gone"
            tools:visibility="visible"/>

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/startCallButton"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
            android:text="Start call"
            android:visibility="gone"
            tools:visibility="visible" />

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/answerCallButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
            android:text="Answer"
            android:visibility="gone"
            tools:visibility="visible" />

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/rejectCallButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
            android:text="Reject"
            android:visibility="gone"
            tools:visibility="visible" />

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/endCallButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
            android:text="End"
            android:visibility="gone"
            tools:visibility="visible" />

</LinearLayout>

You will control the view using code, so you have to store references to the views. Add these properties at the top of the ManActivity class:

private lateinit var connectionStatusTextView: TextView
private lateinit var waitingForIncomingCallTextView: TextView
private lateinit var loginAsAlice: Button
private lateinit var loginAsBob: Button
private lateinit var startCallButton: Button
private lateinit var answerCallButton: Button
private lateinit var rejectCallButton: Button
private lateinit var endCallButton: Button

Now you need to assign views to previously added properties and add callbacks to the buttons. Add below code to the onCreate method inside MainActivity class (below request permissions code):

// init views
connectionStatusTextView = findViewById(R.id.connectionStatusTextView)
waitingForIncomingCallTextView = findViewById(R.id.waitingForIncomingCallTextView)
loginAsAlice = findViewById(R.id.loginAsAlice)
loginAsBob = findViewById(R.id.loginAsBob)
startCallButton = findViewById(R.id.startCallButton)
answerCallButton = findViewById(R.id.answerCallButton)
rejectCallButton = findViewById(R.id.rejectCallButton)
endCallButton = findViewById(R.id.endCallButton)

loginAsAlice.setOnClickListener { loginAsAlice() }
loginAsBob.setOnClickListener { loginAsBob() }

To make code compile add these two empty methods in the MainActivity class:

private fun loginAsAlice() {
    // TODO: update body
}

private fun loginAsBob() {
    // TODO: update body
}

You will fill the body of these methods in the following steps of this tutorial.

Build and Run

Run the project again (Ctrl + R).

Notice that some views are hidden by default. After launching the app you will see login alice and login bob buttons:
