Flutter incoming video/audio call notification using Agora
I have been working on an application and I need to implement in app audio and video calling in my app which I have done using Agora.io but the issue is I have to display incoming call notification does not matter if app is in foreground or in background. I have tried many things but still I am unable to configure that out. I am using agora_rtc_engine
package for making calls.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
The code I am working with currently:
Call Methods
class CallMethods {
final callRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('Calls');
Stream<DocumentSnapshot> callstream({@required String id}) =>
callRef.doc(id).snapshots();
Future<bool> makeCall({@required Call call}) async {
try {
log('Making call');
call.hasdialed = true;
Map<String, dynamic> hasDialedMap = call.toMap(call);
call.hasdialed = false;
Map<String, dynamic> hasNotDialedMap = call.toMap(call);
await callRef.doc(call.senderid).set(hasDialedMap);
await callRef.doc(call.receiverid).set(hasNotDialedMap);
return true;
} catch (e) {
print(e);
return false;
}
}
Future<bool> endCall({@required Call call}) async {
try {
log('ending call');
await callRef.doc(call.senderid).delete();
await callRef.doc(call.receiverid).delete();
return true;
} catch (e) {
print(e);
return false;
}
}
}
Call Utils: Which is used to make calls
class CallUtils {
static final CallMethods callmethods = CallMethods();
static dial(
BuildContext context, {
@required User from,
@required var to,
}) async {
Call call = Call(
senderid: from.id,
// senderpic: from.avatar.url,
callername: from.name,
receiverid: to.id,
// receiverpic: to.avatar.url,
receivername: to.name,
channelid: Random().nextInt(999999).toString(),
);
bool callmade = await callmethods.makeCall(call: call);
call.hasdialed = true;
if (callmade) {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => VideoCallScreen(call: call),
),
);
}
}
}
After that I have a pickup layout which is used to wrap all the screens to display incoming call notification.
Pickup Call Layout:
(user.value.id != null)
? StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>(
stream: callmethods.callstream(id: user.value.id),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData && snapshot.data.data() != null) {
Call call = Call.fromMap(snapshot.data.data());
if (!call.hasdialed) {
return PickupScreen(call: call);
} else {
return widget.scaffold;
}
} else {
return widget.scaffold;
}
},
)
: widget.scaffold,
It can be done via firebase push notifications & backend API service.
Sender side:
As soon as a call is made, you would post your backend api service with caller and receiver id, and your backend service is further responsible to send a push notification with a payload to the receiver.
Receiver side:
When receiver gets a push notification, you can configure it to open your app automatically and show a screen with all the payload information. Maybe you can show him a screen with accept and decline button and if he accepts, you can connect him to Agora.
Check this for payload configuration.
