Error Events - Android

VideoSDK provides onError event which will notify you of any error happening during the meeting.

onError

• This event will be triggered whenever any invalid configuration provided or server/network errors arise, this event will trigger with a specific error code and message.
• This event is helpful for development level troubleshooting while integrating SDK.
• You can implement this method of the abstract Class MeetingEventListener and add the listener to Meeting class using the addEventListener() method of Meeting Class.

Example

Here is the usage of the event mentioned in this page.

Kotlin

private val meetingEventListener: MeetingEventListener = object : MeetingEventListener() {
  //..
  override fun onError(error: JSONObject) {
  try {
      val errorCodes: JSONObject = VideoSDK.getErrorCodes()
      val code = error.getInt("code")
      Log.d("#error", "Error is: " + error["message"])
  } catch (e: Exception) {
          e.printStackTrace()
      }
  }
}

Java

private final MeetingEventListener meetingEventListener = new MeetingEventListener() {
  //..
  @Override
  public void onError(JSONObject error) {
      try {
          JSONObject errorCodes = VideoSDK.getErrorCodes();
          int code = error.getInt("code");
          Log.d("#error", "Error is: " + error.get("message"));
      } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }
  }
};
