On GNU/Linux, it's easy. The daemon got a dbus API, python wrappers,
etc. All of this is documented here:
https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project/wikis/technical/1.%20The%20different%20APIs
For Android, it's a bit more complex but doable. But this would need to
change the android client to be able to communicate with other apps/cli
commands and actually it's not possible. We can add a ticket
(https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-client-android) if you want
But if somebody want to work on it, there is plenty of way to
communicate between android apps (cf for example
https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents) and we can help
if you have any question.
Best regards,
Sébastien

Dear mailing list,
I am trying to develop a free solution for old people in my town who are
confined and can't receive visits because of the whole coronacircus
situation. I'm talking about people who cannot use typical
videoconferencing solutions because they are too complicated. It is too
difficult for them to launch an app, search for a contact, select the
right contact, click on yet another button, etc.
Basically what I want to build for them is a "walkie-talkie but video"
I'm also in .ch
We looked at some things like this in FIXME.ch in Lausanne
I've built similar solutions using Debian Live DVD images that
automatically boot into a softphone. Debian Live images are fairly easy
to build, you can put the image on USB sticks instead of DVDs.
Regards,
Daniel
