GitHub - notdrone-1/twilio-java: A Java library for communicating with the Twilio REST API and generating TwiML.

Installing

twilio-java uses Maven. At present the jars are available from a public maven repository.

Use the following dependency in your project to grab via Maven:

   <dependency>
      <groupId>com.twilio.sdk</groupId>
      <artifactId>twilio</artifactId>
      <version>7.X.X</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
   </dependency>

or Gradle:

compile "com.twilio.sdk:twilio:7.X.X"

If you want to compile it yourself, here's how:

$ git clone git@github.com:twilio/twilio-java
$ cd twilio-java
$ mvn install       # Requires maven, download from http://maven.apache.org/download.html

Quickstart

Send a SMS

String accountSid = "ACXXXXXX"; // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/user/account
String authToken = "XXXXXXXX"; // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/user/account

Twilio.init(accountSid, authToken);

Message message = Message.creator(
    new PhoneNumber("+15558881234"),  // To number
    new PhoneNumber("+15559994321"),  // From number
    "Hello world!"                    // SMS body
).create();

System.out.println(message.getSid());

Make a call

String accountSid = "ACXXXXXX"; // Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/user/account
String authToken = "XXXXXXXX"; // Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/user/account

Twilio.init(accountSid, authToken);

Call call = Call.creator(
    new PhoneNumber("+15558881234"),  // To number
    new PhoneNumber("+15559994321"),  // From number
    
    // Read TwiML at this URL when a call connects (hold music)
    new URI("http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient")
).create();

System.out.println(call.getSid());

Generating TwiML

To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML. TwiML in twilio-java now use the builder pattern!

TwiML twiml = new VoiceResponse.Builder()
    .say(new Say.Builder("Hello World!").build())
    .play(new Play.Builder("https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3").loop(5).build())
    .build();

That will output XML that looks like this:

<Response>
    <Say>Hello World!</Say>
    <Play loop="5">https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3</Play>
</Response>
