Check out the new guest post that I wrote on Enabling Voice Communication on Android Apps, for the Safari Books Online blog. It covers how to enable voice communication using the Android SIP Stack/API.
Enabling voice communication on Android apps is possible via the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack. This protocol originated in 2000 as a signaling protocol in support of Voice over IP (VoIP). With today’s move to IP wireless networks such as LTE, SIP is the core signaling protocol for voice over IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS). In this post we will explore how to enable voice communication on Android apps by using the Android Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack. With the transformation of traditional networks as IP-networks, and the future of voice as a “data app,” expect media-rich and location-aware communication apps, where the smartphone plays a central role in personal communications. This means that developers can now create a new breed of voice communication apps like never before. This post assumes you are somewhat familiar with the Android platform and the Java language.
