Use the Telecom Jetpack library to offer the best video and audio experiences to
your users. With the Telecom framework, you get call and notification
management, foreground support and more. The new Jetpack library adds support
for:
Call streaming and transfer
Android Auto and Wear OS integration
Backward compatibility
To learn more about how to build a calling app with the Telecom library, check
out the Telecom guide.
Supported telecom devices
Starting with Android 7 (API level 21), most phones support the Telecom
framework, and they must do so for SIM-based phone calls to work. For devices
like tablets, which don't traditionally require a Telephony implementation,
Android 14 (API level 34) introduces new requirements that mandate a proper
Telecom framework implementation for tablets that support VoIP.
Use PackageManager to see if the device supports Telecom:
