Conference

CONNECT_TIME_NOT_SPECIFIED

public static final long CONNECT_TIME_NOT_SPECIFIED

Used to indicate that the conference connection time is not specified. If not specified, Telecom will set the connect time.

Constant Value: 0 (0x0000000000000000)

Conference

public Conference (PhoneAccountHandle phoneAccount)

Constructs a new Conference with a mandatory PhoneAccountHandle

addConnection

public final boolean addConnection (Connection connection)

Adds the specified connection as a child of this conference.

createFailedConference

public static Conference createFailedConference (DisconnectCause disconnectCause, 
                PhoneAccountHandle phoneAccount)

Return a Conference which represents a failed conference attempt. The returned Conference will have a DisconnectCause and as specified, and a getState() of STATE_DISCONNECTED.

The returned Conference can be assumed to destroy() itself when appropriate, so users of this method need not maintain a reference to its return value to destroy it.

destroy

public final void destroy ()

Tears down the conference object and any of its current connections.

getCallAudioState

public final CallAudioState getCallAudioState ()

This method was deprecated in API level 34.
Use getCurrentCallEndpoint(), onAvailableCallEndpointsChanged(java.util.List) and onMuteStateChanged(boolean) instead.

getConferenceableConnections

public final List<Connection> getConferenceableConnections ()

Returns the connections with which this connection can be conferenced.

getConnectionCapabilities

public final int getConnectionCapabilities ()

Returns the capabilities of the conference. See CAPABILITY_* constants in class Connection for valid values.

getConnectionProperties

public final int getConnectionProperties ()

Returns the properties of the conference. See PROPERTY_* constants in class Connection for valid values.

getConnectionStartElapsedRealtimeMillis

public final long getConnectionStartElapsedRealtimeMillis ()

Retrieves the connection start time of the Conference, if specified. A value of CONNECT_TIME_NOT_SPECIFIED indicates that Telecom should determine the start time of the conference.

This is based on the value of SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() to ensure that it is not impacted by wall clock changes (user initiated, network initiated, time zone change, etc).

Note: This is only exposed for use by the Telephony framework which needs it to copy conference start times among conference participants. It is exposed as a system API since it has no general use other than to the Telephony framework.
Value is a non-negative timestamp in the SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() time base.

getConnectionTime

public final long getConnectionTime ()

Retrieves the connection start time of the Conference, if specified. A value of CONNECT_TIME_NOT_SPECIFIED indicates that Telecom should determine the start time of the conference.

putExtras

public final void putExtras (Bundle extras)

removeConnection

public final void removeConnection (Connection connection)

Removes the specified connection as a child of this conference.

removeExtras

public final void removeExtras (List<String> keys)

Removes extras from this Conference.

removeExtras

public final void removeExtras (String... keys)

sendConferenceEvent

public void sendConferenceEvent (String event, 
                Bundle extras)

Sends an event associated with this Conference with associated event extras to the InCallService.

Connection events are used to communicate point in time information from a ConnectionService to an InCallService implementation. An example of a custom connection event includes notifying the UI when a WIFI call has been handed over to LTE, which the InCall UI might use to inform the user that billing charges may apply. The Android Telephony framework will send the Connection.EVENT_MERGE_COMPLETE connection event when a call to Call.mergeConference() has completed successfully.

Events are exposed to InCallService implementations via Call.Callback.onConnectionEvent(Call, String, Bundle).

No assumptions should be made as to how an In-Call UI or service will handle these events. The ConnectionService must assume that the In-Call UI could even chose to ignore some events altogether.

Events should be fully qualified (e.g. com.example.event.MY_EVENT) to avoid conflicts between ConnectionService implementations. Further, custom ConnectionService implementations shall not re-purpose events in the android.* namespace, nor shall they define new event types in this namespace. When defining a custom event type, ensure the contents of the extras Bundle is clearly defined. Extra keys for this bundle should be named similar to the event type (e.g. com.example.extra.MY_EXTRA).

When defining events and the associated extras, it is important to keep their behavior consistent when the associated ConnectionService is updated. Support for deprecated events/extras should me maintained to ensure backwards compatibility with older InCallService implementations which were built to support the older behavior.

Expected connection events from the Telephony stack are:

• Connection.EVENT_CALL_HOLD_FAILED with null extras when the Conference could not be held.
• Connection.EVENT_MERGE_START with null extras when a new call is being merged into the conference.
• Connection.EVENT_MERGE_COMPLETE with null extras a new call has completed being merged into the conference.
• Connection.EVENT_CALL_MERGE_FAILED with null extras a new call has failed to merge into the conference (the dialer app can determine which call failed to merge based on the fact that the call still exists outside of the conference at the end of the merge process).

setConferenceableConnections

public final void setConferenceableConnections (List<Connection> conferenceableConnections)

public final void setConnectionStartElapsedRealTime (long connectionStartElapsedRealTime)

This method was deprecated in API level 30.
use setConnectionStartElapsedRealtimeMillis(long) instead.

Sets the start time of the Conference which is the basis for the determining the duration of the Conference.

You should use a value returned by SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() to ensure that time zone changes do not impact the conference duration.

When setting this, you should also set the connection time via setConnectionTime(long).

setConnectionStartElapsedRealtimeMillis

public final void setConnectionStartElapsedRealtimeMillis (long connectionStartElapsedRealTime)

Sets the start time of the Conference which is the basis for the determining the duration of the Conference.

You should use a value returned by SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() to ensure that time zone changes do not impact the conference duration.

When setting this, you should also set the connection time via setConnectionTime(long).

public final void setConnectionTime (long connectionTimeMillis)

Sets the connection start time of the Conference. This is used in the call log to indicate the date and time when the conference took place.

setExtras

public final void setExtras (Bundle extras)
