Join Meeting - Android

Overview

After meeting initialization by initMeeting() it returns a new instance of Meeting. If you have not initialized a meeting yet, you can follow the guide here. However, by default, it will not automatically join the meeting. Hence, to join the meeting you have to call join() .

join()

• To join the meeting you can call the join() method of Meeting class.
• This method can be called after the meeting is initialized using VideoSDK class.

Kotlin

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    // initialize the meeting
    ...

    // join meeting
    meeting!!.join()
  }
}

Java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    // initialize the meeting
    ...

    // join meeting
    meeting.join();
  }
}

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 MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    // initialize the meeting
    ...

    // join meeting
    meeting!!.join()

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

  private val meetingEventListener: MeetingEventListener = object : MeetingEventListener(){
    // Event to know meeting is joined
    fun onMeetingJoined() {
        Log.d("VideoSDK", "onMeetingJoined")
    }
    // Event to know some other participant joined
    fun onParticipantJoined(participant: Participant) {
        Log.d("#VideoSDK", participant.displayName + " joined");
    }
  }
}

Java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    // initialize the meeting
    ...

    // join meeting
    meeting.join();

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

  private final MeetingEventListener meetingEventListener=new MeetingEventListener() {
    // Event to know meeting is joined
    @Override
    public void onMeetingJoined() {
        Log.d("VideoSDK", "onMeetingJoined");
    }

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