Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an Android application using Kotlin and the Vonage Android Client SDK, and then write the code to receive a phone call to your Android app from a phone. The source code is available on Github.

Two parts are needed to achieve this:

• An Android application that will receive the voice call using the Client SDK.
• A publicly accessible URL that serves instructions on how to handle the call. To accomplish this, you will create a webhook server using Node.js, Express and localtunnel.

Completed project

If you would like to follow along without building the app yourself, the completed project is available on Github - please see the phone-to-app-kotlin folder.

This tutorial uses com.vonage:client-sdk-voice version 1.2.1 and targets Android SDK version 34
