So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to get the mobile app to show the preconfigured rooms I have. Can you get the mobile app to do rooms with a password like they show on the demo4.jsp page? Is there a config page for the android side? All I have installed was BBB and it works but it makes me create a room.  I made a page out of the sample demo page and want to be able to join those rooms. I’m stuck I can’t get the app to show a list of rooms available. Can someone shoot me some sample code to get me going here with how to get this app to show preconfigured rooms?

Hi Steve,

Sorry for the delayed reply.
We use it on mconf.org. To access a room while browsing the web portal in the mobile browser, the user clicks in a link or button that redirects him to a url that looks like "bigbluebutton://<SERVER_URL>/bigbluebutton/api/join?meetingID=XXXX&password=XXXX&checksum=XXXX". This is exactly the join URL for the web browser, but we change the prefix "http://" with "bigbluebutton://" - it enable the app to launch automatically.

This way, since you have some predefined rooms, you can put an additional join button to launch the Android app, and this button should redirect the user to the same join url with the custom prefix.

Let me know how it goes.
Regards,

Yep, that worked fine. But is there truly a way to get the rooms to show up in the actual app? Do we know where that data pulls from or am I in the wrong group for that question. I would believe this question has come up. Also the demo server show rooms listed so someone has to know how?

Well, that's what BBB-Android actually does: it shows the opened rooms in a given server. The thing is that your preconfigured rooms won't show up until you call the "create" API call.

I didn't noticed until your last message that the demo4.jsp is the activity monitor. BBB-Android shows all the rooms presented by the activity monitor, you just need to point BBB-Android to your server with the right mobile security key.

Sorry I meant to put demo3 which is now named something else. But, that info right there solved all the problem. I didn’t know it would only show “active” rooms. Once I joined a room on the web it showed up in the list in the Android app. I wish I had known that before it would have saved me a bunch of headaches. Thanks for the update! You just made my day!

But, when connecting to a conference via android and start voice I get a voice connection times out error. I can get video working but not audio.

So, it has to be something with the router but I can work on the port issue. Now I have a problem when on 4G the app tells me there is no internet connection. If I stay on 3G it works.

About the port issue, it's not only the port that needs to be opened, there's a configuration on FreeSWITCH that you have to do if you want to connect to the voice conference, take a look at the BigBlueButton issue in the link I sent you.

Regarding to the Internet connection, well, it seems to be a bug, and we will investigate. Just opened an issue to keep track of it (http://code.google.com/p/mconf/issues/detail?id=332).

Even after looking at the link and following the change of the config files, I didn’t notice anything that changed but changed the file by rewriting it. It still didn’t work.

You were right, there was a problem in the script. Could you please try again?
If it doesn't work for you, try to do that manually following the configuration steps on the BigBlueButton issue.

I’m getting the same error. But this is also after trying the manual steps. I still can’t get it to work right. I followed the manual steps with no success. This is also after doing a apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade before I knew this was an issue. I then noticed that the mobile audio wasn’t working. I tried the manual steps with no success and tried the script.

Is it an option to give me temporary access to your server to take a look? If so, please write me directly.

Steve, thank you for give me temporary access. The problem was this:

 

$ HOST=`ifconfig  | grep 'inet addr:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'`

$ echo $HOST

<IP1> <IP2>

 

The script was assuming that it would be only one address. When I set it manually and executed the other commands, it worked. I will fix the script soon.

Please test it again yourself.

 

Regards,
