Cannot receive incoming audio/video call in conversation control - skype

In my application, I'm using the skype web sdk with the conversation control.
I can start and receive chats, but when I try to add audio/video modality, by pressing the corresponding button, the other user wont see the incoming call.
But when I stop the call the user is getting a "missing call" notification.
The other user's audio/video modality gets changed to "Notified", but even a manual accept wont start the call.
Thought, that the CC handles everything itself.
The Plugin is installed.

Use Firebase Cloud Message with faketoken

Is it possible for my app Web to create a "faketoken" and use it to register with Backend and receives some information - hidden and without user confirmation?
What I need is to inform the browser, with information on screen that another user changed the object, so FrontEnd has to reload the data or block the Save action while the current user does not get the latest version of the object.
I just need to inform the Front End of this change and it resolves what to do.
Is not a push notification.
I don't know if firebase can do that or if I need to implement something like socket.io.
Thanks

Sending a RESTful url (endpoint) from Band

I just have a general question. Can you send a url from a button on the band. I have a home automation system that you can trigger events by sending a RESTful url (endpoint) to. Basically I can put the url in any web browser and trigger the event. It would be great if this could be done through the Band. I don't really need a response from the Url, just to send it.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Scott
No, the Band communicates only via Bluetooth to (applications on) its paired device. On Windows (Phone), the application must be running, with a connection to the Band, and subscribed to the Tile button pressed event in order to receive such notifications. This generally rules out scenarios that require ad-hoc input from the Band unless you're willing to use voice commands via Cortana.
But i think its possible by creating custom tile and handling custom tile events. Haven't tried it in my project but can see from sdk documentation.
For android you can implement broadcast receiver and listen to tile events. Check: sdk doc
Chap 9, page 51
In short, yes it is possible.
However, the problem would be that the button would be single use to only send that ONE URL command and it actually wouldn't be done via the Band.
You can create custom layouts for your applications with the Microsoft Band SDK which will allow you to create a button. You'll then need to register to the click event from the Band which then would get fired on the device the app is running on. From there, you'd be able to send the URL but it would be sent from the Windows Phone or Windows PC rather than the Band so you'd need to be connected. The documentation covers how you can do this here: http://developer.microsoftband.com/Content/docs/Microsoft%20Band%20SDK.pdf
A downside to doing this with WinRT is that as soon as the app is closed and the connection to the Band is lost, your button click won't have any action. The best way to get around this is to create the connection to the Band in a background task but unfortunately, you can't keep hold of the connection to the Band for an infinite amount of time and you'd have to live with the possibilities that you may have times where it doesn't work. I have a GitHub sample which shows you how to connect to the Band in a background task for an indefinite amount of time.
The Microsoft Band has really been developed for the Health aspect and collecting data rather than interactions with other apps which it does in some way support.

Use GAE background thread to trigger SSE to multiple web clients

All,
I have completed the basic GAE "Guestbook" example which uses Google Cloud Endpoints and Google Cloud Messaging. I can successfully add a note to the guestbook and have it appear on all registered devices.
I've also used the super simple Server Sent Event (SSE) mechanism to have a web page initiate an event source and then update itself as events are received. But separate web pages appear to create their own distinct event sources (even if using the same URI to the event source) and thus get their own events at their own times.
The objective here is to create a bit of collaboration such that user actions can come from an android device or a web page and the effects the received action are then pushed to all connected users/devices/web pages.
I have assumed I will need a background module and that both Endpoints and 'normal' web pages / queries would channel the received user action to that background module. I believe I can get that far. Next, I need the background module to trigger a push notification to all interested parties.
I believe I can trigger a Google Could Messaging event to registered Android devices from that background module.
But it isn't clear to me how a background module can be the source of an SSE, or how the background module can best communicate with a foreground module that already is the source of an SSE.
I've looked at the Google Queue API, but I have a feeling I'm making something quite easy much more difficult than it needs to be. If you were not going to 'poll' for changes from a web page... and you wanted to receive notifications from an SSE source when changes were made by other users, possibly using Android devices rather than a typical web page, and the deployed application is running on the Google Application Engine, what would you recommend?
Many thanks,
Randy
You are on the right track, not really sure why you are using the background module but from what i understood you need to:
Your front end module receives an update
You retrieve a list of all devices receiving that update
Use the Queue service to send the update via GCM to every single device
Why use queues? because front end instances have a 1 min time limit per request and you'll need to queue work in order to go beyond that time to serve you (potentially) thousands of users.
Now, If you already have a backend instance (which does not have the 1min limit) you could just iterate over the list and send all messages on one request. I believe you have a 24 hr request limit so you should be OK. But in this scenario you don't have need for the front end module, you can just hit this server straight up.

asterisk send event to a web app when the phone ring

I have a hardphone that register to asterisk 11.8. When someone call this phone, information about user input ivr and user phone number is inside asterisk, is it possible to expose these information to the outside app. For example, I have a webapp, that when the user type in the account number via ivr, the web app, can pull this information back to display the user information. I am a bit new to asterisk and was previously use Freeswitch.
I start reading something about Asterisk AMI, that there are manager event that sending from asterisk to AMI client. So can it be like this. When the phone rang, there will be an event that send to me web app, this event contain information about the phone number of the caller, and what he/she type in for IVR? Can AMI do something like that? I check asterisk AMI event documentation https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/AMI+Event+Documentation, but I dont see any event like "calling"
Please guide me, you can just provide me high level general information and I can start looking further. THank you
Yes. Asterisk does store that kind of information - the incoming number, the duration of the call etc. It is present in the form of a csv file that can be accessed at:
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-*
You can write code to access these logs and get needed information about them.
EDIT to answer comment:
While I am not sure if this information is stored after a call is disconnected, you can write a dialplan to get what you are doing. As soon as a call is received on the extension, the dialplan should:
- Get the incoming call number and send that to a webapp. I think this should be very easy.

How can I increment a Windows Phone tile notifications counter with Push Notification (not knowing the actual counter value)?

I am sending a XML with the "Count" parameter for tile update, and the tile is updating with that value, no problem here.
But I don't know how many pending notifications the user actually has, to increment. I see WhatsApp increments the counter immediately after I got a message. The only way to do this is to store the "unread" count in the server? I wouldn't like to do this because the user can: receive the notifications, disconnect, open the app (that will reset the counter), close, and connect to internet. When it happens, the "unread" count will be incorrect after a new notification.
(I'm using a standard tile for WP 7 compatibility)
Maybe this is a hint from the design gurus -- you might not need to show the user exactly how many unread notifications s/he has. Instead, you could make the push notification simply set a visual flag that there are some unread notifications. When the user opens the app, it displays all the queued notifications and resets the visual flag. Like a knock at the door: once you go to the door, you're going to let in however many dwarves you find waiting there.
Alternatively, you could use raw push notifications sent directly to the app, and let the app locally update the count on the tile.
