Transfer a call with inline NCCO

A code snippet that shows how to transfer control of the current call to control using inline NCCO.

Example

Replace the following variables in the example code:

Key	Description
`UUID`	The UUID of the call leg

Prerequisites

Modifying an existing call requires that the UUID provided is a currently active call. To modify a call, you must use the same VONAGE_APPLICATION_ID and private key that were used to create the call.

Execute the following command at your terminal prompt to create the JWT for authentication:

export JWT=$(nexmo jwt:generate $PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY application_id=$NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID)

Write the code

Add the following to transfer-call-inline-ncco.sh:

curl -X PUT https://api.nexmo.com/v1/calls/$UUID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer "$JWT \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"\
  -d '{"action": "transfer",
      "destination": {"type": "ncco", "ncco": [{"action":"talk", "text":"This is a transfer action using an inline NCCO"}]}}'

Add the following to the main method of the TransferCallNCCO class:

VonageClient client = VonageClient.builder()
        .applicationId(VONAGE_APPLICATION_ID)
        .privateKeyPath(VONAGE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH)
        .build();

Write the code

Add the following to the main method of the TransferCallNCCO class:

/*
Establish a call for testing purposes.
 */
final String ANSWER_URL = "https://nexmo-community.github.io/ncco-examples/long-tts.json";
CallEvent call = client.getVoiceClient().createCall(new Call(
        TO_NUMBER,
        VONAGE_NUMBER,
        ANSWER_URL
));

/*
Give them time to answer.
 */
Thread.sleep(10000);

TalkAction talkAction = TalkAction.builder("This is a transfer action using an inline NCCO.").build();
Ncco ncco = new Ncco(talkAction);
final String UUID = call.getUuid();
client.getVoiceClient().transferCall(UUID, ncco);

Run your code

We can use the application plugin for Gradle to simplify the running of our application. Update your build.gradle with the following:

  apply plugin: 'application'
  mainClassName = project.hasProperty('main') ? project.getProperty('main') : ''

Run the following gradle command to execute your application, replacing com.vonage.quickstart.voice with the package containing TransferCallNCCO:

gradle run -Pmain=com.vonage.quickstart.voice.TransferCallNCCO

Try it out

You will need to:

Set up a call and obtain the call UUID. You could use the 'connect an inbound call' code snippet to do this.
Run the example code to transfer the call.
Control will be transferred to a new NCCO, and you will hear a text-to-speech message to confirm this.
