Join Live Stream - Android

Once, the live stream is configured, the next step is to join it. If you have not initialized the live stream yet, you can follow the guide here.

join()

• To join the live stream you can call the join() method which is the part of the Meeting class of Android SDK.
• This method can be called after the live stream is initialized from the VideoSdk class.

Events associated with Join

Following callbacks are received when a participant is successfully joined.

• Local Participant will receive a onMeetingJoined event, when successfully joined.
• Remote Participant will receive a onParticipantJoined event with the newly joined Participant object from the event callback.

Kotlin

class LiveStreamActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_live_stream);
    // initialize the meeting
     liveStream = VideoSDK.initMeeting(... )
    ...

    // join meeting
    meeting!!.join()

    // Add event listener for listening upcoming events of live stream
    meeting!!.addEventListener(meetingEventListener)
  }

  private val meetingEventListener: MeetingEventListener = object : MeetingEventListener(){
    //Event to determine if the live stream has been joined
    fun onMeetingJoined() {
        Log.d("VideoSDK", "onMeetingJoined")
    }
    / //Event to determine some other participant has joined
    fun onParticipantJoined(participant: Participant) {
        Log.d("#VideoSDK", participant.displayName + " joined");
    }
  }
}

Java

public class LiveStreamActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_live_stream);
    // initialize the meeting
    Meeting liveStream = VideoSDK.initMeeting( ...);
    ...

    // join meeting
    meeting.join();

    // Add event listener for listening upcoming events of live stream
    meeting.addEventListener(meetingEventListener);
  }

  private final MeetingEventListener meetingEventListener=new MeetingEventListener() {
   //Event to determine if the live stream has been joined
    @Override
    public void onMeetingJoined() {
        Log.d("VideoSDK", "onMeetingJoined");
    }

    / //Event to determine some other participant has joined
    @Override
    public void onParticipantJoined(Participant participant) {
        Log.d("#VideoSDK", participant.getDisplayName() + " joined");
    }
  };
}

leave()

• To leave the live stream you can call the leave() method which is the part of the Meeting class of Flutter SDK.

note

This method can be called only after the live stream is joined successfully.

Events associated with the leave() method

Following callbacks are received when a participant leaves the live stream.

• The Local Participant will receive the onMeetingLeft event, once they have successfully left the livestream.
• All the Remote Participants—including all the hosts and audience members—will receive the onParticipantLeft event with the Participant object of the user who left the livestream.

Kotlin

private final MeetingEventListener meetingEventListener = new MeetingEventListener() {
  //Event to determine if the live stream has been left
  override fun onMeetingLeft() {
    Log.d("#VideoSDK", "onMeetingleft()")
  }

  //Event to determine some other participant has left
  override fun onParticipantLeft(participant: Participant) {
    Log.d("#VideoSDK", participant.displayName + " left");
  }
}

Java

private final MeetingEventListener meetingEventListener = new MeetingEventListener() {
  //Event to determine if the live stream has been left
  @Override
  public void onMeetingLeft() {
    Log.d("#VideoSDK", "onMeetingleft()")
  }

  //Event to determine some other participant has left
  @Override
  public void onParticipantLeft(Participant participant) {
    Log.d("#VideoSDK", participant.getDisplayName() + " left");
  }
}

tip

You should call the leave() method on the unmount of your main live stream component so that live stream is left once the view is unmounted.
