webrtc-jingle for android

(libjingle signaling + webrtc voice engine)

Discussion: webrtc-jingle

About

• Working example android and ios apps of libjingle and webrtc voice backend.
• Based on libjingle trunk and webrtc trunk updated on regular intervals.
• Added improvements for stability and missing pieces for mobile implementation.
• Can make calls between two phones, or between gmail and a phone.
• Happy for any help, please see tickets, and send a pull request.

Getting the code

• Download and install depot_tools

# mkdir webrtcjingleproject
# cd webrtcjingleproject
# gclient config https://github.com/lukeweber/webrtc-jingle-client.git --name trunk
# gclient sync

or for an older stable build, take the head of the stable branch revision.
# gclient sync --revision PUT_STABLE_HEAD_REV_HERE

Android

Prereqs

• android NDK r8e
• Android SDK
• eclipse
• Maven v3.0.3+
• Add the following to your environment, i.e. .bashrc or .bash_profile

#Android
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/path/to/sdk/
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/path/to/ndk/
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools

#mvn variables
export ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT

Running the project

• Build, deploy to phone, and start debugger in one script: tools/badit_android.py
• Build the apks: cd trunk/android && mvn install
• To run a debugger: build/android/gdb_apk -p com.tuenti.voice.example -s VoiceClientService -l android/voice-client-native/obj/${build_profile}/local/${app_abi}
• For debugging the ndk compile outside of maven, I sometimes prefer and use a light shell wrapper instead of maven for building only the c++ project. trunk/android/voice-client-native && ./build.sh

Run unittests

• Build debug code jni in debug mode: cd trunk/android/voice-client-core && ./build.sh
• Generate unittest apk: tools/gen_tests_apk.sh
• Install unittest : adb install -r adb install -r voice_testing/${app_abi}/${lib}/${lib}-debug.apk
• Prepare
• Run unittest:

# adb shell mkdir /sdcard/talk
# adb shell am start -n org.chromium.native_test/org.chromium.native_test.ChromeNativeTestActivity
# See adb logcat adb | grep libjingle

• Fetch unittest logs: adb pull /sdcard/talk talk-logs

Build for Video(Experimental)

• NO UI YET, need more changes in libjingle core to make this work.
• DEPS build on linux and mac.
• Need to wire the java code in example app, using third_party/webrtc/video_engine/test/android/src/org/webrtc/videoengineapp/WebRTCDemo.java as a template.
• webrtcvideoengine.cc will certainly need changes, as will VideoRenderer to enable passing a java ref down to webrtc, contact me if you want to give this a shot.

# cd android/voice-client-core/
# ln -s [insert_full_path_here]/trunk/third_party/libvpx/source/libvpx jni/libvpx
# cd third_party/libvpx/source 
# git pull https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/webm/libvpx refs/changes/99/41299/1
# libvpx/configure --target=armv7-android-gcc --disable-examples --sdk-path=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT --enable-error-concealment --enable-realtime-only --disable-vp9 --enable-pic
# Open jni/libvpx/build/make/Android.mk => change BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY to BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY
# 

IOS

Prereqs

• OSX machine
• Download the latest xcode and command line tools.

Running the project

• Apply the following patch to third_party/expat

• Run gclient sync again to fetch xmppframework.
• Autogenerate an xcode project with gyp with the following command:

./build/gyp_chromium --depth=.  -DOS=ios -Dinclude_tests=0 -Denable_protobuf=0 -Denable_video=0 webrtcjingle.gyp

• open trunk/webrtcjingle.xcodeproj
• Modify myJID, and myPassword in AppDelegate.mm.
• Modify user you wish to call in ios/VoiceClientExample/ViewController.mm => [appDelegate call:@"user@gmail.com"];
• If using an xmpp server make sure to change the flag isGtalk in login in VoiceClientDelegate.mm.
• In xcode, build and deploy
• May experience issues about sse from audio_processing.gypi. If you push to an IOS device add -Dtarget_arch=arm. If emulator, the other command will probably work.

Opus

• Opus is currently alpha in implementation, is hard set to 48kHz in webrtc. Android mic is set to 16kHz, meaning you'll probably upsample/downsample all audio by 3x.
• Add "WEBRTC_BUILD_WITH_OPUS := true" to android/voice-client-core/jni/Android.mk
• Modify offer kCodecPrefs in third_party/libjingle/talk/media/webrtc/webrtcvoiceengine.cc to include OPUS and exclude ISAC.

Windows

• Native code won't build on a windows machine.
• VM with Ubuntu 64bit Linux
• Recommended disk of at least 3GB. Current build cache is approx, 1.5GB.
• 64bit Android Linux NDK required.
