Hi @jovy, thanks for the post.

Can you please provide a code snippet showing direct usage of the SDK? The code snippet you’ve provided appears to be a modified version of the SDK sample app, so it’s difficult to tell exactly how the SDK is being used.

Thanks!

Hi @jon.zoom

we are using zoom web APIs to create schedueld meeting and using zoom SDK to join meetings  
code to create meeting,

```auto
Code in fragment to create meeting
            val meeting = MeetingDetails(
                title,
                type,
                "${date}T${time}",
                duration,
                mainViewModel.email.value!!,
                TimeZone.getDefault().displayName,
                password,
                agenda,
                Settings.getDefaultSettings()
            )

            mainViewModel.createMeeting(meeting, apiResponseListener)

Create meeting API call and response parsing 
fun createMeeting(meetingDetails: MeetingDetails, apiResponseListener: ApiResponseListener<MeetingDetails>) {

        val call = apiInterface.addMeeting(userId.value!!, meetingDetails)

        call.enqueue(object : Callback<ResponseBody> {

            override fun onFailure(call: Call<ResponseBody>, t: Throwable) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Error: ${t.printStackTrace()}")
                apiResponseListener.onError("No internet access")
            }

            override fun onResponse(call: Call<ResponseBody>, response: Response<ResponseBody>) {

                if (response.body() != null) {
                    val body = response.body()?.string()
                    Log.e(TAG,"meeting ??> $body")

                    try {
                        val data: MeetingDetails = Gson().fromJson(body, MeetingDetails::class.java)
                        apiResponseListener.onData(data)
                        return
                    }catch (e: Exception) {
                        e.printStackTrace()
                    }

                    apiResponseListener.onError("Internal Error!")
                    return
                }
                var error = "Server error"
                try {
                    if (response.errorBody() != null) {
                        val obj = JSONObject(response.errorBody()!!.string())
                        if (obj.has("message")) {
                            error = obj.getString("message")
                        }
                    }
                }catch (e: Exception) {
                }
                Log.e(TAG,"res: ${response.errorBody()?.string()}")
                apiResponseListener.onError(error)
            }
        })

    }
Retrofit API Call
    @POST("v2/users/{userId}/meetings")
    fun addMeeting(@Path("userId") userId: String, @Body meetingDetails: MeetingDetails): Call<ResponseBody>

```

code to join meeting using zoom SDK

```auto
    fun joinMeeting(context: Context, meetingDetails: MeetingDetails) {
        Log.e(TAG,"joinMeeting $meetingDetails")

        JoinMeetingHelper().joinMeeting(
            context,
            zoom,
            meetingDetails.id.toString(),
            meetingDetails.password,
            meetingDetails.topic
        )
    }

Hi @jovy,

The `JoinMeetingHelper` being used here is not part of the SDK. Can you please provide a code snippet showing your direct usage of the SDK so I can see what’s going on? Also, what is the meeting number value you are passing into the SDK?

Thanks!

Hi @jon.zoom

JoinMeetingHelper is provided in SDK sample from zoom apps.  
below is code for JoinMeetingHelper class

```auto
class JoinMeetingHelper {

    /**
     * This method will join the meeting with specified ID and Password
     *
     * @param context the usual context
     * @param instance the instance of [ZoomSDK]
     * @param id the id of the meeting
     * @param password the password for meeting
     * @param displayName the name that will be displayed to others
     */
    fun joinMeeting(
        context: Context,
        instance: ZoomSDK,
        id: String,
        password: String,
        displayName: String
    ): Int {

        val meetingService: MeetingService = instance.meetingService ?: return 0

        val jmo = JoinMeetingOptions()
        // some available options
        // jmo.no_driving_mode = true;
        // jmo.no_invite = true;
        // jmo.no_meeting_end_message = true;
        // jmo.no_titlebar = true;
        // jmo.no_bottom_toolbar = true;
        // jmo.no_dial_in_via_phone = true;
        // jmo.no_dial_out_to_phone = true;
        // jmo.no_disconnect_audio = true;
        // jmo.no_share = true;

        // jmo.no_video = true;
        // jmo.meeting_views_options = MeetingViewsOptions.NO_BUTTON_SHARE;
        // jmo.no_meeting_error_message = true;
        // jmo.participant_id = "participant id";

        // here we will define all the required parameters such as name id and pwd
        val jmp = JoinMeetingParams()
        jmp.displayName = displayName
        jmp.meetingNo = id
        jmp.password = password

        // you can avoid returning anything too
        return meetingService.joinMeetingWithParams(context, jmp, jmo)

    }

}

Hi @jovy,

Thanks for the code snippet. Can you also please provide which value from the JSON you posted earlier is being passed into the SDK as previously requested?

Thanks!

Hi @jovy,

Sorry, I am not asking for the JSON data you are sending or receiving. I am asking which field from the response you are passing into the SDK.

Thanks!

Hi @jon.zoom ,  
I’m passing following fields to join meeting,

```auto
id as Meeting No
password as Password
topic as Display name

```

example

```auto
   val jmp = JoinMeetingParams()
        jmp.displayName = topic
        jmp.meetingNo = id
        jmp.password = password

```

Hi @jovy,

The value you are providing for the `meetingNo` field does not exist according to our back end, so the SDK is working as intended when it says that the meeting ID is invalid. The meeting associated with that UUID is the `pmi` value.

Thanks!
