conversations-quickstart-android's Introduction

Conversations Quickstart App for Android

This is a lightweight Android application for Twilio Conversations.

Configuring and getting started

This demo requires a Twilio account and a working Conversations Service SID. Here is what is needed:

Your Account's Conversation Service Sid ISXXX SID which is attached to your Conversation Service. You can find that information in the Twilio Console. You can also create a service there if you don't already have one.

Replacing the Access Token

In order for your quickstart application to work, we need to authenticate an end user by retrieving a short-lived access token attached to your API Key. The strings.xml resource has a placeholder for your access token named test_access_token.

You can generate a token in a few ways:

Using the twilio-cli and twilio token plugin (Recommended)
Using Twilio Runtime Function

For the twilio-cli option, run the following command and enter the resulting token into the placeholder:

twilio token:chat --identity <The test username> --chat-service-sid <ISXXX...>

Note: You need to generate an access token with a ChatGrant for a Conversations user to use the Twilio Conversations Client SDK.

After generating a token manually, it will expire after a timeout period, so you will need to replace the token. To use this in production software, you would typically create a token endpoint in your back end application that uses your existing user authentication strategy.

conversations-quickstart-android's Issues

Error retrieving conversation: Channel not found

I Create a User with the name "A" and Create a Conversation with the Name "C_Conversation". And send 4 or 5 msg on that conversation and it shows me on the screen. Then After I Relaunch my App with the Same username and the conversation name and I found it create a new same name conversation. So I'm not get already exist user of that conversation.
Whenever I load the conversation its goes inside Error on the below method.

private void loadChannels() {
if (conversationsClient == null || conversationsClient.getMyConversations() == null) {
return;
}
conversationsClient.getConversation(DEFAULT_CONVERSATION_NAME, new CallbackListener() {
@OverRide
public void onSuccess(Conversation conversation) {
if (conversation != null) {
if (conversation.getStatus() == Conversation.ConversationStatus.JOINED
|| conversation.getStatus() == Conversation.ConversationStatus.NOT_PARTICIPATING) {
Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "Already Exists in Conversation: " + DEFAULT_CONVERSATION_NAME);
QuickstartConversationsManager.this.conversation = conversation;
QuickstartConversationsManager.this.conversation.addListener(mDefaultConversationListener);
QuickstartConversationsManager.this.loadPreviousMessages(conversation);
} else {
Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "Joining Conversation: " + DEFAULT_CONVERSATION_NAME);
joinConversation(conversation);
}
}
}

        @Override
        public void onError(ErrorInfo errorInfo) {
            Log.e(MainActivity.TAG, "Error retrieving conversation: " + errorInfo.getMessage());
            createConversation();
        }

    });
}

Its Always go inside the error method and the error is channel not found. In IOS SDK it is Working fine with the same credentials.

Command timeout reached

twilio: Error creating Twilio Conversations Client: Command timeout reached

Receiving this error while creating the ConversationClient in android application. Using the same code which is mentioned on the official Twilio page. Please help to resolve this error. I tried many times but the issue is still there.

2 Users unable to join the same channel.

I tried running 2 instances of the quickstart with 2 separate identities and having them join the same channel. It seems that this may not be an intended use case because it seems you cannot actually join a conversation before being added into it. However it may not be obvious to users of the quickstart that you have to add both participants to the same conversation outside of the quickstart.

Loom of adding the users manually to the same conversation to fix it:

Unable to send message

Hi sir, we are looking to add video chat and text chat in our applikcation using twilio. Wanted to see the working of conversations. I followed the steps and replaced my access token by generating one using the mentioned command, but when i run the app and click on send message nothing happens. Am i supposed to do something else as well? Do i need to make the user join some channel or add participants for the demo to work? All I want is to see how chat works. Is there a way to enable logging so I can see the exact cause
