Android Video Calling SDK FAQs

What does the Android Video Calling SDK include?

The Android Video Calling SDK provides TUICallEngine APIs for call invitations, events, and media controls. Your application builds the native Android call screen and connects it to Android call events.

Should I use a Android call SDK or UI Kit?

Use the SDK APIs to build your own interface. Choose the UI Kit when you want ready-made screens and controls.

How do incoming Android calls work in the background?

Configure the native push and application lifecycle requirements in the Android guide. Test foreground, background, and offline incoming calls on real devices; displaying a call screen alone does not complete that setup.

How do I authenticate users of the Android Video Calling SDK?

Create a UserSig on your server and pass it to the client after your own sign-in flow. Keep the application secret on your server.

Is the Android Video Calling SDK free to use?

The interface and the hosted Call service have different roles. Activate the service for your application and review the current plan, feature availability, and usage charges.

How do I integrate Android Video Calling SDK with Kotlin or Java?

Follow the Android project and manifest setup, then handle runtime permissions and Activity cleanup where required. Test on actual devices, including app background and foreground transitions.

How do I test Android Video Calling SDK before releasing my app?

Test invitation, accept, decline and end-call state between independent users, including permission denial.

How do I customize the interface for Android Video Calling SDK?

Build call controls and participant views around the supported state and media APIs; your app owns the interface.
