cine.io android sdk

Build Status

The android library for cine.io broadcast.

This library is unstable on Android 5.0+ (Lollipop). We apologize for the inconvenience. If you fix it before we do, we love pull requests.

Installation

Add the following to your build.gradle.

dependencies {
  compile 'io.cine:cineio-broadcast-android-sdk:0.0.15'
}

Ensure Maven central is included in your build.gradle. This should happen by default when building a project with Google's recommended Android IDE, Android Studio.

apply plugin: 'android'
buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
}
repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

Download cineio-broadcast-android-sdk to your application with ./gradlew build.

Then we need to let your application know about the cine.io BroadcastActivity.

Add the following to permissions your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />

Add the following Activity your AndroidManifest.xml within the <application> tag.

<activity
  android:name="io.cine.android.BroadcastActivity"
  android:label="CineIOBroadcastActivity" >
</activity>

For a complete example checkout our example application AndroidManifest.xml.

Now you're all set up!

Usage

Initialization

import io.cine.android.*;

// Some other potential imports:
// import org.json.JSONException;
// import org.json.JSONObject;
// import java.util.ArrayList;
String SECRET_KEY = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY";
// String MASTER_KEY = "YOUR_MASTER_KEY";
CineIoConfig config = new CineIoConfig();
config.setSecretKey(SECRET_KEY);
// config.setMasterKey(MASTER_KEY);
CineIoClient client = new CineIoClient(config);

Broadcast a live stream

Broadcasting a live stream will launch the Cine.io BroadcastActivity. If users pause your Application during a live stream and return to it, they will be placed back into the BroadcastActivity. They can return to the parent Activity by pressing the back button.

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
client.broadcast(streamId, this);
// `this` is a Context, such as your instance of an Activity.
// To use a custom width, height, and orientation
import io.cine.android.BroadcastConfig;

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
BroadcastConfig config = new BroadcastConfig();
config.setWidth(640);
config.setHeight(480);
config.lockOrientation("landscape"); //values are "landscape" and "portrait". Not setting the value will allow the view to switch depending on device orientation
config.selectCamera("back"); //values are "back" and "front". Not setting the value will default to front facing
config.setBroadcastActivityLayout(R.layout.my_activity_broadcast_capture); // change the layout used for the broadcast activity

client.broadcast(streamId, config, this);
// `this` is a Context, such as your instance of an Activity.

Play

Playing a live stream will launch the default Video Player a user has configured, or ask the user which application to launch for playing a live video. Most android phones come with a default video player.

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
client.play(streamId, this);
// this is a Context, such as your instance of an Activity.

If you wish to build your own video player, here is some sample code to get the HLS url.

client.getStream(id, new StreamResponseHandler(){
  public void onSuccess(Stream stream) {
    String hlsUrl = stream.getHLSUrl();
    // start your video player here with the hlsUrl
  }
});

Play a stream Recording

Playing a stream recording will launch the default Video Player a user has configured, or ask the user which application to launch for playing a recorded video. Most android phones come with a default video player.

// With a recordingName
String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
String recordingName = "recordingName";
client.playRecording(streamId, recordingName, this);
// this is a Context, such as your instance of an Activity.
// With a stringRecording object (such as returned from getStreamRecordings)
String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
StreamRecording streamRecording;
client.playRecording(streamId, streamRecording, this);
// this is a Context, such as your instance of an Activity.

If you wish to build your own video player, here is some sample code to get the MP4 url.

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
client.getStreamRecordings(streamId, new StreamRecordingsResponseHandler(){
  public void onSuccess(ArrayList<StreamRecording> streamRecordings) {
    if (streamRecordings.size() == 0){
      //TODO handle no recording
      return;
    }
    String url = streamRecordings.get(0).getUrl(); //defaulting to the first recording
    //TODO start your video player here with the mp4Url
  }
});

API calls

Projects

To get data about your projects:

client.getProjects(new ProjectsResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(ArrayList<Project> projects) {
      //TODO handle projects
  }
});

To get data about your project:

client.getProject(new ProjectResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Project project) {
      //TODO handle project
  }
});

To update your project attributes:

JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
try {
  params.put("name", "new name");
} catch (JSONException e) {}

client.updateProject(params, new ProjectResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Project project) {
      //TODO handle project
  }
});

Streams

To get all your streams:

client.getStreams(new StreamsResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(ArrayList<Stream> streams) {
    //TODO handle streams
  }
});

To get all your streams by name:

JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
try {
  params.put("name", "a stream name");
} catch (JSONException e) {}

client.getStreams(params, new StreamsResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(ArrayList<Stream> streams) {
    //TODO handle streams
  }
});

To get a specific stream:

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";

client.getStream(streamId, new StreamResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Stream stream) {
    //TODO handle stream
  }
}

To create a new stream:

client.createStream(new StreamResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Stream stream) {
    //TODO handle stream
  }
});
// can optionally take params
// params:
//  name: 'an optional stream name'
//  record: true|false (default false). record: true will save recordings of all streaming sessions
JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
try {
  params.put("name", "a new stream");
  params.put("record", true);
} catch (JSONException e) {}

client.createStream(params, new StreamResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Stream stream) {
    //TODO handle stream
  }
});

To update a stream:

// params:
//  name: 'a new stream name'
//  record: true|false (updating a stream from true to false will not delete old stream recordings)
String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
try {
  params.put("name", "new name");
  params.put("record", true);
} catch (JSONException e) {}

client.updateStream(streamId, params, new StreamResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Stream stream) {
    //TODO handle stream
  }
});

To delete a stream:

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
client.deleteStream(streamId, new StreamResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Stream stream) {
    //TODO handle stream
  }
});

Stream Recordings

To get all the recordings for a stream:

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
client.getStreamRecordings(streamId, new StreamsRecordingsResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(ArrayList<StreamRecording> streamRecordings) {
    //TODO handle streamRecordings
  }
});

To delete a stream recording:

String streamId = "STREAM_ID";
String recordingName = "recording-name";
client.deleteStreamRecording(streamId, recordingName, new StreamRecordingResponseHandler(){
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(StreamRecording streamRecording) {
    //TODO handle deleted stream recording
  }
});
