Re: Automatically placing a call with Jami

[Sébastien Blin]

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
