POStart video chat without user interaction - Android

Body
copied!<p>I am a total noob on this site so please be patient. I am trying to initiate a Video Chat/Call without any user interaction or confirmation.</p> <p>I found this:</p> <pre><code>Uri imUri = new Uri.Builder().scheme("xmpp").authority("gtalk").query("call;type=video").appendPath(email).build(); Intent IM = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO); IM.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); IM.setData(imUri); startActivity(IM); </code></pre> <p>from here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/8024626/1184256">https://stackoverflow.com/a/8024626/1184256</a></p> <p>This gets me very close, but I then have to click an "Invite" button to continue. Is there a way I can emulate a KeyEvent to click this button or skip the popup window entirely with root access? </p> <p>I don't even necessarily need to use Google Video Chat if someone has found a different way to initiate a Video call to a certain contact via Skype, Vtok,Fringe, ooVoo or whatever without user interaction. </p> <p>I have also found <a href="http://www.tokbox.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenTok</a> which after building a sample server and client on my site I have found that it works on desktop browsers but not in Android browsers. Please don't steal/use my apiKey or sessionId.</p> <p>I have also found <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/talk/libjingle/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">libjingle</a> which will allow me to use Google Talk's peer-to-peer voice and video chat. I am thinking this will be the way to go, but it means building a video chat app from the ground up and wrapping it around these libraries... yeah. Anybody done this already?</p> <p>I know this is essentially a duplicate thread, but I have searched for days and days for an answer and this is the closest I have come to getting this done. </p> <p>BTW the reason I need this without user interaction is for a Telepresence robot, thus there won't be anybody actually holding/using the phone when I initiate this call.</p> <p>Please HELP!</p>
