Android gives error when creating SipStack using Jain-SIP library

Question

In android studio, my code fails as soon as it reaches the following line.

sipStack = sipFactory.createSipStack(properties);

It gives me the following error.

W/System.err: android.javax.sip.PeerUnavailableException: The Peer SIP Stack: gov.nist.javax.sip.SipStackImpl could not be instantiated. Ensure the Path Name has been set.
...
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: gov.nist.javax.sip.SipStackImpl.<init> [class java.util.Properties]

Do you know what might be causing this error?

I'm using the following dependency for Jain-SIP.

compile group: 'javax.sip', name: 'android-jain-sip-ri', version: '1.3.0-91'

The code has no problem running in IntelliJ. I'm using Android Studio with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.

My MainActivity class is as follows.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        new Shootist().init();
    }
}

My Shootist class is as follows.

public class Shootist implements SipListener {

    public void init() {
        SipFactory sipFactory = SipFactory.getInstance();
        sipFactory.setPathName("gov.nist");
        SipStack sipStack = null;

        String transport = "udp";
        String peerHostPort = "127.0.01:5070";

        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("android.javax.sip.OUTBOUT_PROXY", peerHostPort + "/" + transport);
        properties.setProperty("android.javax.sip.STACK_NAME", "shootist");
        properties.setProperty("gov.nist.javax.sip.DEBUG_LOG", "shootistdebug.txt");
        properties.setProperty("gov.nist.javax.sip.TRACE_LEVEL", "DEBUG");

        System.out.println("trying to create sip stack");
        // create sip stack
        try {
            sipStack = sipFactory.createSipStack(properties);
            System.out.println("sip stack created");

        } catch (PeerUnavailableException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



    }

    @Override
    public void processRequest(RequestEvent requestEvent) {

    }

    @Override
    public void processResponse(ResponseEvent responseEvent) {

    }

    @Override
    public void processTimeout(TimeoutEvent timeoutEvent) {

    }

    @Override
    public void processIOException(IOExceptionEvent exceptionEvent) {

    }

    @Override
    public void processTransactionTerminated(TransactionTerminatedEvent transactionTerminatedEvent) {

    }

    @Override
    public void processDialogTerminated(DialogTerminatedEvent dialogTerminatedEvent) {

    }
}

The entire error output is below.

Answer 1

The main issue is

sipFactory.setPathName("gov.nist");

should be

sipFactory.setPathName("android.gov.nist");

Initialisation is slightly different with android. Perhaps you can start with this example https://github.com/usnistgov/jsip/tree/master/src/examples/android/simplecallsetup and built on top of it.
