Using WebRTC in Android application

[BP Gangadharan]

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to use webrtc in a native android application. Found that

the libjingle/webrtc source https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/ here includes a java binding.

If I package this javabinding into my android application, I assume it would also 

include libjingle?

Would those who install my android application would need to then root their phones to

use the application?

Also, is there any plugin available to enable WebRTC/PeerConnection/MediaStream apis 

in the WebView?

I am trying to find a way to use webrtc in a native android application.

Building the API: https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/trunk/talk/app/webrtc/java/README

Building the AppRTCDemo sample app: https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/trunk/talk/examples/android/README

I recommend you read the AppRTCDemo source code to see how to integrate the API into your app.

 

If I package this javabinding into my android application, I assume it would also 

include libjingle?

Yes, but see the above READMEs to see how (and inspect the resulting .apk's).

 

Would those who install my android application would need to then root their phones to

use the application?

No.  Why would you think they would? 

Also, is there any plugin available to enable WebRTC/PeerConnection/MediaStream apis in the WebView? 

I don't believe so.

Cheers,

Thanks for your quick response. 

About my question on rooting: I just dont know what all the webrtc/libjingle package brings in.  Just wanted to make sure that everything in there can be used by a "normal" unrooted user. Thanks for the confirmation though.

Would this java binding make it into standard android java api at some point of time?

There are no public plans to do so at this point.
