Android :: True VOIP App
Feb 4, 2010
I got a mytouch 3g figuring it would handle voip like iphone and wm phones. But to my dismay, it appears there are no true VOIP apps for android that will allow me to call over wifi/3G from Germany.
I have read about sipdroid, truphone, skype lite, iscoot and others, but they all make a local call first, even to members of the same service -totally defeats the purpose. You'd be better off using a calling card!!
Anyway, just wondering if I am missing something. I got an android phone because I wanted to be part of something different, with great potential. I just didn't realize that it would be different in such a disadvantageous way...

I have been looking around today and am trying to find a VoIP application that will actually work.
Let's say, what if I got my phone shut off from VZW, would there be a way to make VoIP calls over wifi? I have seen posts about using Google Voice in conjunction with other programs. Also, Nimbuzz? Anyone have a positive approach they have used for this?
I will be going out of the US for a while and will be getting my VZW account inactive for a while. I am looking for a way in which I'll be able to still use my Droid Incredible to make calls to the US using wifi. I'd even be willing to make calls just to Skype friends or Nimbuzz friends. I am hoping that someone else has found a way to accomplish this.

I am trying to implement a robust RSS/Atom reader for android, and since Xerces won't compile I am struggling to find an alternative. I am using org.xmlpull.v1.sax2.Driver(), however this just wraps a DOM parser with SAX callbacks. Is there anything comparable to Xerces on Android?

I am trying to make an app that can work with or without the Google Maps API present. Eclipse gives me an error when trying to use android:option as an attribute (I have the latest SDK, I think, revision 6). Also, when I set the build target without the Google Maps library, I get an error from my class that extends MapActivity.

I looked over SensorManager and was still unsure, how do I detect if the phone is looking at true north (or any other direction for that matter).

Cause it doesn't.I have a service running an Asynctask to do some work. I bind to it from an activity and call a cancel method. The service, in turn, calls AsyncTask.cancel(true);
AyncTask.cancel returns true. Nonetheless, the thread is still running happily and still doing the things in doInBackGround, sending notifications along the way.
There is no sign that it attempted to kill the thread. I am not using NDK calls or anything that I think should stop if from taking down the thread. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known issue?

I added android:fastScrollEnabled="true" to the xml description of my listview class. I was (probably mistakenly) expecting this to magically transform the scrolling of my really huge listview so that the thumb button and the indexes display on the right side.
Is there more to hooking up the listview so that the framework knows what its alphabetizing? I have custom defined cells.

I am coming from Windows Mobile 6.5 and was using PocketShield as my lock screen replacement. One thing that I am looking for in an android app is..
1. The ability to enter pin or pattern from the lock screen app while also displaying all the new features of the app. One screen to rule them all.
2. I now use WidgetLocker and it works great except that I have to enter the pattern after sliding my app. What is the point? Either I enter the pattern before I select the app from the home screen or after when sliding. I thought I was able to use the app on the slicker "outside" of pattern security.

I've got a ListActivity using the Theme.Dialog theme and windowNoTitle set to true.
Unfortunately, when I do this, the header rows (just normal rows in the list but they look like sub headers) refuse to fill_parent width (instead, they wrap_content - the header text).
I noticed this was not a problem when using the Theme theme so I started narrowing everything down to what was causing the problem.
The answer: windowIsFloating. Theme.Dialog sets this to true, and if I override this to false, then the headers happily fill the parent width.
Is there a way around this (because I would like to set windowIsFloating to true)?

would like to add a zoom control to the map. I also want to layout the position of the zoom Control instead of the default middle bottom position. I can do this by getZoomControl but it is deprecated.
Could anyone tell me how to do this with setBuildtInZoomControls?

Before asking my doubt, let me clarify my understanding of allowTaskReparenting...
Suppose there exists a Task (say Task 1) and this task has an activity (say Activity 1) which wants to call my Activity (say Activity 2). Let my activity (activity 2) set the attribute allowTaskReparenting to true and let my activity have a specific taskAffinity(affinity1). When Activity1 calls my activity (activity2), my activity becomes part of the task1. But suppose another task (task2) is already present/created with the same taskAffinity as mine (affinity1) and an activity in that task (say activity3) tries to start my activity, my activity gets re- parented to task2.
Not sure if i was clear enough. If i were to rephrase my words...
If my activity has allowTaskReparenting set to true and an instance of my activity is already present in task1. If task2 with the same task affinity as my activity tries to start my activity, the EXISTING activity gets re-parented from task1 to task2.
My quesions:
(1) Is my understanding correct ?
(2) If I am correct then a single instance of my activity gets shifted from task1 to task2. So 2 activity objects of my activity are NOT created.

When using a mediaplayer to play back an audio file, you can set looping to true - that's not the issue here.
If looping is set to true, there's still an audible gap between the file finishing and then starting again.
How could I achieve true gapless playback? I've attempted using two instances of the same file, overriding oncomplete and onseek.. can't seem to improve the gap though.

We use a hosted PBX solution that is VOIP. There is no VOIP andoid app from our provider but there is one for the iPhone.
However, we can call through our PBX by dialing our direct dial number, passcode and dial out - end result is the same, we call clients from our PBX with our company number displayed on caller ID.
The manual process is accomplished as follows.
1 dial our personal direct dial number
2 pause pause
3 enter #
4 pause pause
5 enter our mailbox security code (4-8 numbers)
6 enter #
7 pause
8 enter *
9 pause
10 enter #
11 enter 91 (9 for outside line, 1 for US)
at this point we enter the 7 digit number and are connected
Can someone write an app or is one already written that will simply let us choose a contact to dial and have a popup as done in Google Voice
Call with Google Voice
Call without Google Voice
Call from PBX
I am thinking if you select call from pbx the app would simply dial steps 1-11 above and then enter the contact number to complete the call.
This has to be incredibly easy for guys... it would sure help us outside sales guys from dialing in through our corporate pbx's.

I've been on the same phone plan for close to 17 years, same # same carrier etc. It's been a sweet deal for the most part since I'm a light user of phone time.
I pay $10 a month for 'service', I only pay .11 a minute for time talked which normally runs around 100 minutes a month. Average phone bill before getting an android phone was around $25. Well I added text for $5 and now the monthly data plan for $30. Out of the 5gb limit i used .160gb on average per month.
I've had google voice for a while so i turned off texting and now use that number for texting(which works really sweet) other than people complaining that I have a new # to text/call to.
Is there anyway to utilize the data package to use some sort of VOIP calling instead of my per minute charge? Either to reduce or eliminate the per minute charge?

I no there are like a gzillion threads about this not jst on this forum but on others too, but i just can't seem to grasp what their saying. Anyway the point is basically i would like a noob proof tutorial on how to get try voip over 3g. I have tried fring and the test call works but i dont know how to make my own calls. Sipdroid and asip really confuse me and dont seem to work (just get red light) apparently i need something like pbxes which confuses me even more. I do have magicjack but i don't have the proxy for it and as of now dont have my actually magicjack with me so i can never really get it.

An application which will allow me to make outgoing calls abroad over a wi-fi connection. Just like Skype on the desktop. Google Voice is not an option for me since I'm outside of US, and Skype doesn't seem to even have VoIP on Android.
What do others recommend using for their VoIP needs? Is there a service that already has an outgoing plan like SkypeOut? And an incoming number like SkypeIn?

I just bought a HTC Hero yesterday and downloaded the skype application only to find out that android phones do not support VOIP and therefore no free skype-to-skype calls! Will this ever change, or is there a workaround already?

When I check my phone number under Setting -> Status -> Phone number there is no info... does anyone have any info in that field or are they all blank...
Also has anyone been able to use Voxofon in the phone to phone mode?

I'd like to create an app for iOS that does VOIP, presumably by interacting with a website. I can start with Android too.Does anyone know of any tutorials, suggestions or libraries that would be of any use.(The app would need to be rewritten for BB and android eventually, too.)

new Android user here (new HTC Legend owner) and was looking for a worthwhile app to use for VOIP dialing, when I'm in within range of the internet. So I don't have to use my mobile minutes. On my old Nokia E71 I used something called 'Fring' but surely Android has some apps that are much better than that. Not interested in paid apps either, I've already spent a fortune this week. I already have my own VOIP account with a provider and the needed info, so I just need the interface or whatever

I have some design questions that I want to discuss with people interested in helping me. I am planning to develop a simple VoIP program that allows two Android phones in the same network to use VoIP. My goal is simply to capture sound, send the data with UDP, receive UDP data and play sound.My current design is to have 2 threads: one captures the microphone and sends the data; the other one receives bytes and plays them.I was starting to implement that using MediaPlayer and MediaRecorder. The issue that came up is how do I record and play sound? By that, I would like to know if I need to use a file, although that seems slow, or if there is anyway to have the recording automatically sent to my UDP socket please?Basically, I wonder if I have to record to a file, then to be able to play it, or if I could just pass a socket (for recording and playing).

My main question before I buy a G1 is does Android have a Wifi enabled VOIP program (like Skype)? Also, can I link it directly to a PC and throw any data I want inside it (linux programs). Oh one more thing, can it compile C code?
