Android - how to merge calls (GSM/SIM) to conference (InCallService)

Question

I'm trying to merge two GSM calls into conference programmatically.

In Call class is method conference() but I'm not sure how to correctly work with it. I tried several ways but nothing work successfully.

I have class CallService (implements InCallService)

And in method override fun onCallAdded(call: Call)

I tried something like this:

    activeCall.hold()

    secondCall.answer(VideoProfile.STATE_AUDIO_ONLY)

    secondCall.conference(activeCall) 
    secondCall.mergeConference()

But it will not create a conference call (the first call is set as busy). I tried several changes in that code but nothing work.

I also find this how to merge call programmatically in android- conference-call and this How to merge Call programmatically while other call is running (Conference call) but it's not helped (and it's a little old)

Thanks for help

You have to use this two method to merge calls. Call.conference and Call.mergeConference method.

You can see the basic examples of inCallService api in this project. https://github.com/HiddenPirates/Dialer
