From android version 2.3 SIP API is added in Android. you can use either inbuilt SipStack library or third party open source sip stacks.

Refer Android Developer's Guide

Answer 2

Open source SIP stacks :

1. Android SDK's default implementation (API > 9) :
   Advantages : Documentation available. Easy to understand.
   Disadvantages : not all devices are supported. Can't change codecs.

2. Third Party

Java :

• JainSIP (license : Public Domain)

Advantages : Oracle (Sun) project ==> Active development. Looks easier than MjSIP (more documentation).
Disadvantages : Not used in a "famous" app.

• MjSIP (license : GNU GPL)

Advantages : SipDroid is built on it. (source code available) (red5phone is another project) Disadvantages : Not fully compliant with RFC?. Lack of tutorials (Javadocs available though). SOPHISTICATED. Development almost dead.

• Doubango framework [android-ngn-stack] (license : GNU GPLv3)

Advantages : IMSDroid is built on it. (source code available)
Disadvantages : Generated apk file size tend to be "heavy" (>15MB as mentioned here)

C/C++ :

• Native SIP Stacks

Advantages : Various choice (PjSip [CSipSimple], GNU oSIP/eXoSIP [Linphone, which has made their own stack belle-sip]). Full compliance with RFC?. Better performance.
Disadvantages : Android NDK/JNI for a beginner.
