Quick Start — Outgoing Call #

Use NexaconSDK for the simplest possible integration:

import 'package:nexacon_sdk/nexacon_sdk.dart';

final sdk = NexaconSDK(
  apiKey: 'your_api_key',
  secretKey: 'your_secret_key',
);

// Set up callbacks
sdk.onCallStateChanged = (state) => print('📱 State: $state');
sdk.onCallEnded       = (reason) => print('📞 Ended: $reason');
sdk.onError           = (error)  => print('❌ Error: $error');

// Start an outgoing call — handles token, connection & signaling automatically
await sdk.startCall(
  to: '+255788811192',       // recipient
  username: '+255788811191', // your username
  audio: true,
  video: false,
);

// In-call controls
sdk.toggleMute(true);     // mute microphone
sdk.toggleSpeaker(true);  // enable speaker
sdk.toggleVideo(true);    // enable video
await sdk.switchCamera(); // switch front/back camera

// End call and release resources
await sdk.endCall();
await sdk.dispose();

Quick Start — Incoming Call #

For incoming calls, use initialize() to connect, then acceptCall() to answer:

import 'package:nexacon_sdk/nexacon_sdk.dart';

final sdk = NexaconSDK(
  apiKey: 'your_api_key',
  secretKey: 'your_secret_key',
);

// Set up callbacks
sdk.onCallStateChanged = (state) => print('📱 State: $state');
sdk.onIncomingCall     = (name)  => print('📞 Incoming from: $name');
sdk.onCallEnded        = (reason)=> print('📞 Ended: $reason');
sdk.onError            = (error) => print('❌ Error: $error');

// Step 1: Initialize (get token, connect to signaling server)
await sdk.initialize(username: '+255788811191');

// Step 2: Accept the incoming call
await sdk.acceptCall(audio: true, video: false);

// Or reject it
// sdk.rejectCall();

// End call and release resources
await sdk.endCall();
await sdk.dispose();

Advanced Usage #

For full low-level control, use NexaconClient directly.

Step 1: Initialize Client #

import 'package:nexacon_sdk/nexacon_sdk.dart';

final client = NexaconClient(
  apiKey: 'your_api_key',
  secretKey: 'your_secret_key',
  // baseUrl is optional — defaults to https://nxservice.quantumvision-tech.com/api/v1.0
);

Step 2: Generate NX Token #

final nxResponse = await client.auth.getNxToken(username: '+255788811191');

final nxtoken = nxResponse['token'];
final nxid    = nxResponse['jid'];
final wsUrl   = nxResponse['nxws'];

// IMPORTANT: Required to avoid 403 errors on subsequent API calls
client.setToken(nxtoken);

Step 3: Create CallManager #

final callManager = await client.createCallManager(
  nxtoken: nxtoken,
  nxid: nxid,
  wsUrl: wsUrl,
  name: 'Your Display Name',
  onCallStateChanged: (state) {
    if (state == CallState.connected) print('✅ Connected');
  },
  onIncomingCall: (callerName) => print('📞 Incoming: $callerName'),
  onCallEnded:    (reason)     => print('📞 Ended: $reason'),
  onError:        (error)      => print('❌ $error'),
);

Step 4: Make or Accept a Call #

// Outgoing call
await callManager.initiateCall(to: '+255788811192', audio: true, video: false);

// Accept incoming call
await callManager.acceptCall(audio: true, video: false);

// Reject incoming call
callManager.rejectCall();

// End current call
await callManager.endCall();

Step 5: In-Call Controls #

callManager.webrtcService?.toggleAudio(false);  // mute
callManager.webrtcService?.toggleAudio(true);   // unmute
callManager.webrtcService?.toggleVideo(false);  // disable video
callManager.webrtcService?.toggleVideo(true);   // enable video
callManager.webrtcService?.toggleSpeaker(true); // speaker on
await callManager.webrtcService?.switchCamera();

final duration = callManager.callDuration;
print('Duration: ${duration.inSeconds}s');

Step 6: Cleanup #

callManager.dispose();
client.close();

Real-Time Messaging #

final messagingManager = client.createMessagingManager();

// Receive messages
messagingManager.messageStream.listen((message) {
  print('💬 ${message['from']}: ${message['message']}');
});

// Send a message
messagingManager.sendMessage(to: 'recipient@example.com', message: 'Hello!');

// Typing indicator
messagingManager.sendTypingIndicator('recipient@example.com', isTyping: true);

// Read receipt
messagingManager.sendReadReceipt('recipient@example.com', 'msg_123');

// Presence (online/offline)
messagingManager.presenceStream.listen((presence) {
  final isOnline = presence['type'] == null || presence['type'] == 'available';
  print('User is ${isOnline ? 'online' : 'offline'}');
});

messagingManager.dispose();

Foldable Device Support #

final foldStateService = FoldStateService();

foldStateService.foldStateStream.listen((state) {
  switch (state) {
    case FoldState.flat:     print('Device is flat');
    case FoldState.folded:   print('Device is folded');
    case FoldState.halfOpen: print('Device is half open');
    case FoldState.unknown:  print('Fold state unknown');
  }
});

if (foldStateService.isFolded) {
  // Adjust UI for folded state
}

foldStateService.dispose();

Troubleshooting #

403 Error on Call Initiation #

Cause: NX token not set on the client.

Fix (Advanced API only — NexaconSDK handles this automatically):

client.setToken(nxtoken); // Must be called after getNxToken()

XMPP Connection Timeout #

Cause: WebSocket URL uses https:// instead of wss://.

Fix: NexaconSDK converts this automatically. If using NexaconClient directly, ensure wsUrl starts with wss://.

Camera / Microphone Not Working #

Android: Ensure permissions are in AndroidManifest.xml and granted at runtime
iOS: Ensure keys are in Info.plist
Web: App must be served over HTTPS (WebRTC requirement)

Call Stuck in "Calling" #

Ensure the callee is online with the SDK initialized
Calls time out after 60 seconds if not accepted
