Google Voice Android Port Project

[dgourd]

One thing I admire about the Google Voice application on Android that is lacking in any Windows Mobile solutions is the ability to make calls through Wifi. This will bypass any need for a plan.

Since Android is Open Source, I was wondering if we could work on a port. I have some experience and would like to recruit others to help.

I have some google invites for anybody that legitimetly helps on the port .

EDIT: Maybe not a full port of Google Voice, but a way to make calls through wifi. I know you can use that program with an Unlocked Nexus one with no plan so it is possible.

Needed Support:
I could really use some help with someone that knows C++/C# or how to make a nice GUI for the interface.

GOALS:

1. Get the source code and decompile the functions
2. Figure out how the functions work
3. Create a program to login in and display information (such as SMS and Voicemails)
4. Add ability to send SMS
5. Add ability to make phone calls through callback method
6. Add ability to make and receive calls through WiFi / 3G
7. Integrate all features with Windows / Manila

Updates:

• I have found out that the android apps are written in Java (which I know a lot about). So It would be relatively easy to port, just got to change some functions around to fit windows mobile. We could use the same base code.
• I have decompiled the java google voice API. There are 2 classes and a test program. Click here to read the post
• Apparently, all the data is retreived from a URL. So we can port this to a different language and parse the data as needed.

Sounds good but just to give you a heads up WinMo does not play nice with Java at least not the newer versions. I believe Google put out an SDK so it migth be easier to start from there. If I had the time I would be all over this too. Thanks for trying it out.

I can only find the source code for the android base. I can't find the source for Google Voice, but I have found an API. Will update with link soon!

About the API:
It is basically a class with all the necessary Google Voice functions. It has connecting to google voice and placing calls, along with returning your inbox and other data. One definite positive is that it returns data as raw html or xml, so we can parse it how we need to.

I am planning on taking apart the API to see how each of the functions work. Then, I might be able to port it to a different language using the Windows SDK.

The Google SDK wont work since it would just be used for creating Android apps.

This will be awesome if successfully ported!

Phone.class:

package com.techventus.server.voice;
public class Phone
{
  public String id;
  public String number;
  public String formattedNumber;
  public String type;
  public String name;
  public String carrier;
  public Boolean verified;
  public String toString()
  {
    String ret = "";
    if (this.id != null) {
      ret = ret + "id=" + this.id + ";";
    }
    if (this.number != null) {
      ret = ret + "number=" + this.number + ";";
    }
    if (this.name != null) {
      ret = ret + "name=" + this.name + ";";
    }
    if (this.carrier != null) {
      ret = ret + "carrier=" + this.carrier + ";";
    }
    if (this.type != null) {
      ret = ret + "type=" + this.type + ";";
    }
    if (this.verified != null) {
      ret = ret + "verified=" + this.verified + ";";
    }
    if (this.formattedNumber != null) {
      ret = ret + "formattedNumber=" + this.formattedNumber + ";";
    }
    return ret;
  }
}

test.class:

package test;
import com.techventus.server.voice.Phone;
import com.techventus.server.voice.Voice;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.List;
public class test
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    System.out.println("Enter Your Google Voice Username, eg user@gmail.com:");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String userName = null;
    try {
      userName = br.readLine();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      System.out.println("IO error trying to read your name!");
      System.exit(1);
    }
    System.out.println("Enter Your Password:");
    String pass = null;
    try {
      pass = br.readLine();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      System.out.println("IO error trying to read your name!");
      System.exit(1);
    }
    try
    {
      Voice voice = new Voice(userName, pass);
      try
      {
        Thread.sleep(2000L);
        if ((voice.phoneList != null) && (voice.phoneList.size() > 0)) {
          for (int i = 0; i < voice.phoneList.size(); ++i)
            System.out.println(((Phone)voice.phoneList.get(i)).toString());
        }
        Thread.sleep(2000L);
      }
      catch (InterruptedException e)
      {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

I have attached the Voice.class (the most important one) to this as a txt file.
