This is an initial, static implementation of plugins. The CallsApplication has a plugin name which can be changed with a new --provider command line option. This plugin name is used to instantiate the appropriate plugin when the application is activated. From then on, the plugin cannot change. In future, we can expand this support to include loading multiple plugins at once, configurable through some UI. This will have far-reaching implications though, and complicate things like enumerating the provider hierarchy. There is also no practical benefit right now; the mm and ofono plugins can't be used at the same time because ModemManager and oFono don't play nice together, and the whole raison d'être of the dummy plugin is undermined if you can make use of one of the others. So for now, we just implement one static plugin.
Calls
A phone dialer and call handler.
License
Calls is licensed under the GPLv3+.
Dependencies
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libhandy-0.0-dev modemmanager-dev libmm-glib-dev
Building
We use the meson and thereby Ninja. The quickest way to get going is to do the following:
meson ../calls-build
ninja -C ../calls-build
ninja -C ../calls-build install
Running
Calls depends on oFono Modem objects being present on D-Bus. To run oFono with useful output:
sudo OFONO_AT_DEBUG=1 ofonod -n -d
The test programs within the oFono source tree are useful to bring up a modem to a suitable state. For example:
cd $OFONO_SOURCE/test
./list-modems
./enable-modem /sim7100
./online-modem /sim7100
Then run Calls:
cd $CALLS_SOURCE
../calls-build/src/calls
Phonesim
One can also make use of the modem simulator, phonesim (in the ofono-phonesim package in Debian):
ofono-phonesim -p 12345 -gui /usr/local/share/phonesim/default.xml
then, ensuring /etc/ofono/phonesim.conf has appropriate contents like:
[phonesim]
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=12345
run oFono as above, then:
cd $OFONO_SOURCE/test
./enable-modem /phonesim
./online-modem /phonesim
And again run Calls.
