My First Project For Conference Calls through HTTP UA
If you are new to Android development, start by following Google's instructions to download and install the Android Studio IDE. The Sample Conference App that is provided with this documentation has been built and tested using Android Studio, Google's standard development environment for Android.
Running the Sample Conference App for the first time
The Communications Package Sample Conference App for Android has been designed for and compiled against Android SDK API level 25 and later. To verify that SDK API level 25 or later is installed in your development environment, open the Android SDK Manager.
![SDK Manager]()
Once you have confirmed your environment supports SDK API level 25 or later, import the sample project (sample/CommunicationSampleConferenceApp/build.gradle) to Android Studio.
![Android Studio Import Project]()
After the import is complete, you will see the notification with recommendation to update gradle version. Click on the Update button and gradle files will be updated automatically.
![Android Gradle Plugin Update Recommended]()
Build the Sample Conference App and run on your Android device to confirm that your development environment and test device is setup correctly.
Note: Due to media requirements for features provided within the Communications Package for Android, developers must use a physical device rather than an emulator for development.
Note: Client SDK is dependent on Netty library which is not distributed as part of AvayaClientServices.aar. Even if your app doesn't require Netty, make sure you add it as a dependency in your build.gradle to avoid runtime issues:
compile 'io.netty:netty-all:4.1.0.Final'
Start working with features
Once you have completed setup of your development environment and have confirmed the Sample Conference App runs on your device, you are now ready to start using Sample Conference App to make Equinox Conference calls via HTTP UA. No service configuration is required, you can join an Equinox conference call by providing the Conference URI and the user name.
What to do next...
With the Sample Conference App running on your device, you are now ready to begin the process of learning how to integrate Conferencing features using the Communications Package for Android into your application.
