Our organization has Lync as primary channel for IM. Now that everyone is about to get a mobile phone we need a way to have the custom mobile apps display presence and initiate chat sessions. It is almost the way Facebook client does it with Facebook Messenger.

I cannot find anything anywhere that shows how to any of those. I can deal w/o presence but it is a must to start the chat.

Note I don't want to go against UCWA and write another chat client. Lync for Android is good enough. I just need to figure out what the proper Intent and parameters are.

You could always open your Lync client by opening a URL that starts with the letters "lync://".

This URL scheme works just as well on iPhones.

  • This works technically speaking but in example when I do sip:// and it prompts which SIP client I should use - Skype, Lync etc.. I need tighter integration without the choice. If I just use lync:// it just starts lync and that's it. I need to take it to the conversation window – VillyG Mar 01 '14 at 21:20
  • why are you using "`sip://`" when I said "`lync://`" should work? – Michael Dautermann Mar 01 '14 at 21:21
  • Typed it in the wrong window. Lync:// just starts the client. I need to go to the conversation window – VillyG Mar 01 '14 at 21:22
  • sip://villyg@foo.com actually starts the conversation window unless there is another SIP client installed..then it gets goofy – VillyG Mar 01 '14 at 21:23
  • @VillyG: its not opening the user window , if I am giving Uri detail = Uri.parse("lync://"+emailID); – Aada Sep 01 '15 at 11:01
