Example of Android application managing media devices
This example can be used as streamer allowing to select source camera and microphone and specify parameters for the published video: FPS (Frames Per Second) and resolution (width, height).
Below that input field are located drop-down lists of available microphones and cameras and input fields for video parameters.
Two videos are played
- left - video from the camera
- right - the published video stream as received from the server
Switching renderer to play video stream from camera:
Work with code of the example
To analyze the code, let's take class MediaDevicesActivity.java of the media-devices example, which can be downloaded with corresponding build 1.0.1.70.
1. Initialization of the API.
Flashphoner.init() code
For initialization, object Сontext is passed to the init() method.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Flashphoner.init(this); |
2. List available media devices.
Flashphoner.getMediaDevices(), MediaDeviceList.getAudioList(), MediaDeviceList.getVideoList() code
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
mMicSpinner = (LabelledSpinner) findViewById(R.id.microphone);
mMicSpinner.setItemsArray(Flashphoner.getMediaDevices().getAudioList());
mMicLevel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.microphone_level);
mCameraSpinner = (LabelledSpinner) findViewById(R.id.camera);
mCameraSpinner.setItemsArray(Flashphoner.getMediaDevices().getVideoList()); |
3. Video render management
FPSurfaceViewRenderer.setMirror() code
When a video is shown, an image is displayed to FPSurfaceViewRenderer objects:
- localRender to display video from camera
- remoteRender to display stream published preview
- newSurfaceRenderer to demonstrate renderer switching
For those objects, screen position, scaling type and mirroring should be set.
By default, mirror view is set to display video from camera by setMirror(true) method invokation. To display stream published preview and renderer switching object, mirroring is switched off by setMirror(false):
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
remoteRenderLayout.setPosition(0, 0, 100, 100);
remoteRender.setScalingType(RendererCommon.ScalingType.SCALE_ASPECT_FIT);
remoteRender.setMirror(false);
remoteRender.requestLayout();
localRenderLayout.setPosition(0, 0, 100, 100);
localRender.setScalingType(RendererCommon.ScalingType.SCALE_ASPECT_FIT);
localRender.setMirror(true);
localRender.requestLayout();
switchRenderLayout.setPosition(0, 0, 100, 100);
newSurfaceRenderer.setZOrderMediaOverlay(true);
newSurfaceRenderer.setScalingType(RendererCommon.ScalingType.SCALE_ASPECT_FIT);
newSurfaceRenderer.setMirror(true);
newSurfaceRenderer.requestLayout(); |
In this case, when you choose front camera, the image displayed from camera looks normally but is published mirror. When you choose back camera, image from camera looks mirror but is publihed in normal orientation (see application screenshots above).
4. Getting audio and video constraints set by user
AudioConstraints, VideoConstraints code
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
@NonNull
private Constraints getConstraints() {
AudioConstraints audioConstraints = null;
if (mSendAudio.isChecked()) {
audioConstraints = new AudioConstraints();
if (mUseFEC.isChecked()) {
audioConstraints.setUseFEC(true);
}
if (mUseStereo.isChecked()) {
audioConstraints.setUseStereo(true);
}
if (!mDefaultPublishAudioBitrate.isChecked() && mDefaultPublishAudioBitrate.getText().length() > 0) {
audioConstraints.setBitrate(Integer.parseInt(mPublishAudioBitrate.getText().toString()));
}
}
VideoConstraints videoConstraints = null;
if (mSendVideo.isChecked()) {
videoConstraints = new VideoConstraints();
videoConstraints.setCameraId(((MediaDevice) mCameraSpinner.getSpinner().getSelectedItem()).getId());
if (mCameraFPS.getText().length() > 0) {
videoConstraints.setVideoFps(Integer.parseInt(mCameraFPS.getText().toString()));
}
if (mWidth.getText().length() > 0 && mHeight.getText().length() > 0) {
videoConstraints.setResolution(Integer.parseInt(mWidth.getText().toString()),
Integer.parseInt(mHeight.getText().toString()));
}
if (!mDefaultPublishVideoBitrate.isChecked() && mPublishVideoBitrate.getText().length() > 0) {
videoConstraints.setBitrate(Integer.parseInt(mPublishVideoBitrate.getText().toString()));
}
}
return new Constraints(audioConstraints, videoConstraints);
} |
5. Local camera and microphone testing
Flashphoner.getLocalMediaAccess() code
This parameters are passed:
- audio and video constarints set by user
- local object SurfaceViewRenderer localRenderer to display image from camera
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
case TEST_REQUEST_CODE: {
if (grantResults.length == 0 ||
grantResults[0] != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ||
grantResults[1] != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.i(TAG, "Permission has been denied by user");
} else {
Flashphoner.getLocalMediaAccess(getConstraints(), localRender);
mTestButton.setText(R.string.action_release);
mTestButton.setTag(R.string.action_release);
mStartButton.setEnabled(false);
soundMeter = new SoundMeter();
soundMeter.start();
...
Log.i(TAG, "Permission has been granted by user");
}
break; |
6. Session creation
Flashphoner.createSession() code
Object SessionOptions with the following parameters is passed to the createSession() method:
- URL of WCS server
- SurfaceViewRenderer, which will be used to display video from the camera
- SurfaceViewRenderer, which will be used to play the published video stream
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions(url);
sessionOptions.setLocalRenderer(localRender);
sessionOptions.setRemoteRenderer(remoteRender);
/**
* Session for connection to WCS server is created with method createSession().
*/
session = Flashphoner.createSession(sessionOptions); |
