[arghyaMatrix]

hi arghya actually in this is not possible to get a call log u can achieve this feature with your own API for creating a call log

[arghyaMatrix]

Ok @Krishna8077078 How can I toggle between audio and video within a ongoing call?

[Romick2005]

That depends of a technology you are using. For webrtc there is an option use video.

[arghyaMatrix]

I am using react-native-webrtc for video call. how can i achieve this?

Basically, for call history you can use Data API

The flow is pretty like this:

1) Go to https://admin.connectycube.com, Custom module, and create a data schema, e.g. CallHistory, with the following fields:

  type: Integer
  mediaType: Integer
  participant_ids: Array of Integer
  date: String
  duration: Integer
  is_missed: Boolean
  call_user_id: Integer
  read: Boolean

Then set class permissions like this:

2) Basically, each user has to have own stream of call history

3) When start a call, you need to create a call history record for yourself, e.g:

const CALL_TYPES = {
  INCOMING: 1,
  OUTGOING: 2,
};

const CALL_MEDIA_TYPE = {
  VIDEO: 1,
  AUDIO: 2,
};

const callDataObject = {
  type: CALL_TYPES.OUTGOING,
  mediaType: CALL_MEDIA_TYPE.VIDEO,
  participant_ids: [....],
  duration: 0,
  is_missed: false,
  read: true,
  call_user_id: curerntUserId
};

ConnectyCube.data.create("CallHistory", callDataObject).then(...).catch(...);

4) When other users accept the call, they also create same record for themselves:

  type: CALL_TYPES.INCOMING,
  mediaType: CALL_MEDIA_TYPE.VIDEO,
  participant_ids: [....],
  duration: 0,
  is_missed: false,
  read: true,
  call_user_id: curerntUserId
};

ConnectyCube.data.create("CallHistory", callDataObject).then(...).catch(...);

5) if some user did not accept the call, a call initiator has to create a record form him/herself with is_missed: true:

 const callDataObject = {
  type: CALL_TYPES.INCOMING,
  mediaType: CALL_MEDIA_TYPE.VIDEO,
  participant_ids: [....],
  duration: 0,
  is_missed: false,
  read: false,
  call_user_id: curerntUserId
};

ConnectyCube.data.create("CallHistory", callDataObject).then(...).catch(...);

6) When call is finished, each user has to update one call record and set a proper duration value:

 const callDataObject = {
   id: xxx
   duration: 120
 }
 ConnectyCube.data.update("CallHistory", callDataObject).then(...).catch(...);

7) Get call history for current user:

ConnectyCube.data.list("CallHistory",{call_user_id: curretnUserId}).then(...).catch(...);

8) remove call history of current user:

ConnectyCube.data.delete("CallHistory", [id1]).then(...).catch(...);

delete all:

ConnectyCube.data.delete("CallHistory", {call_user_id: curerntUserId}).then(...).catch(...);

Can anyone help with how can I toggle between audio and video call within an ongoing call?

@arghyaMatrix please create another ticket

[arghyaMatrix]

@DaveLomber thanks for your comment. Actually I want to show the call logs on the chat page(where all messages are shown) also like WhatsApp or Skype. Is this achievable by this library? Please help me if anyone have solution for this feature

[DaveLomber]

@arghyaMatrix my above comment is exactly for what you are looking for

[DaveLomber]

Since the flow is provided https://github.com/ConnectyCube/connectycube-reactnative-samples/issues/212#issuecomment-800057232

for all further issue please create new issues

[arghyaMatrix]

but in your comment I have to merge two APIs( call history and chat history api) for the feature which needed big time for looping if long chat history is there. is there anything to send type for message where I can set type to call record?

[DaveLomber]

You do not need to loop through chat history to get call signals

For call history - a separated api is used, based on Data API

What you need is to just perform a single call on app startapp and then call api to create call history when you have a call
