Differences between Android SDK versions
In Android SDK 1.1 WebRTC library libjingle_peerconnection.jar is updated to actual version. So Android SDK 1.1 requires Android API 26, i.e. application build with Android SDK 1.1 will run on Android 8 and higher. Use Android SDK 1.0 to support previous Android versions.
When publishing in Google Play, two APKs can be deployed - one for each of the Android SDK versions - for compatibility with devices with API lower and higher than 26.
Preparing examples for building
If you have some experience in developing Android apps, you can simply download the aar-library and link it to the project manually, then configure building.
...
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
git clone -b 1.0 git@github.com:flashphoner/wcs-android-sdk-samples.git |
...
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
wget http://flashphoner.com/downloads/builds/flashphoner_client/wcs-android-sdk/aar1.0/wcs-android-sdk-1.0.1.2x.aar cp wcs-android-sdk-1.0.1.2x.aar export |
3. Open the 'export' folder and execute the export.sh script that will prepare configs for further building. The result is placed into the 'output' folder.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
cd export ./export.sh wcs-android-sdk-1.0.1.2.aarx.aar |
| Warning |
|---|
| This step is very important because application examples source code is the same for different versions of Android SDK. export.sh script automatically sets miniman required Android API version for building examples depending on Android SDK version |
4. Edit the local.properties file and specify paths to Android SDK and NDK
...
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
ndk.dir=/opt/android-ndk-r12b sdk.dir=/opt/android-sdk-linux |
Building examples with Gradle
Prepare examples for building, then go to the 'output' folder and start building:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
cd output gradle build |
Building examples in Android Studio
Prepare examples for building and put them to the 'output' folder, then rename it to 'wcs_android_sdk_samples', for instance.
...
The building result is .apk files located in the corresponding folders: 2players/build, click-to-call/build, and so on.
The Android SDK file is located in the following path in the project: libs/wcs-android-sdk-1.0.1.2.aar
Known issues
