Sinch : Know the number of participants in a conference call

I am building a conference calling app using Sinch in Android. I can now establish conference calls and add participants to it successfully.

Now I would like to add some capabilities to my app:

  1. Know the number of participants at a given time.
  2. Mute a particular user.

I was looking into this link.. I understand that Sinch is giving some REST services to achieve the above services. I have never worked with REST web services in Android. I also went through the tutorials section and was unable to find a tutorial on how to call a REST API end point from Android.

I would like a simple walkthrough or a guide to call Sinch REST services from Android, especially to achieve the first capability (know the number of participants).

Solution

  • Both of this can be done by calling the Sinch REST API from your app.

    If you don't know how to use REST API. I recommend using either Volley or Retrofit to make the network calls. Various tutorials on how to use them both are available on the net. Please refer that.
