Getting Started - React Native Android SDK

React Native SDK wraps up out React SDK. It also simplifies dependencies management.

Install a React Native SDK in Android

Step 1: Install SDK from Npm or Yarn

The easiest way to get started is by installing the sdk in your app.

Npm

$ npm install "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk" "@videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager"

Yarn

$ yarn add "@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk" "@videosdk.live/react-native-incallmanager"

Step 2: Add below lines in android/app/build.gradle

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile project(':rnfgservice') 
    compile project(':rnwebrtc')
}

Step 3: Add below lines in android/settings.gradle

android/settings.gradle

include ':rnwebrtc'
project(':rnwebrtc').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@videosdk.live/react-native-webrtc/android')

include ':rnfgservice'
project(':rnfgservice').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@videosdk.live/react-native-foreground-service/android')

Step 4: Add below lines in MainApplication.java

MainApplication.java

import live.videosdk.rnfgservice.ForegroundServicePackage;
import live.videosdk.rnwebrtc.WebRTCModulePackage;

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  private static List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          /* Initialise foreground service, incall manager and webrtc module */
          new ForegroundServicePackage(),
          new WebRTCModulePackage(),
      );
  }
}

Step 5: Add below line in the android/app/proguard-rules.pro (optional: if you are using Proguard):

android/app/proguard-rules.pro

-keep class org.webrtc.** { *; }

Step 6: Update colors.xml for internal dependencies

android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml

<resources>
  <item name="red" type="color">
    #FC0303
  </item>
  <integer-array name="androidcolors">
    <item>@color/red</item>
  </integer-array>
</resources>

Step 7: update AndroidManifest.xml file for the permissions

AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.cool.app"
>
    <!-- Give all the required permissions to app -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
​
  <application>
   <meta-data
      android:name="live.videosdk.rnfgservice.notification_channel_name"
      android:value="Meeting Notification"
     />
    <meta-data
    android:name="live.videosdk.rnfgservice.notification_channel_description"
    android:value="Whenever meeting started notification will appear."
    />
    <meta-data
    android:name="live.videosdk.rnfgservice.notification_color"
    android:resource="@color/red"
    />
    <service android:name="live.videosdk.rnfgservice.ForegroundService" android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection"></service>
    <service android:name="live.videosdk.rnfgservice.ForegroundServiceTask"></service>
  </application>
</manifest>

Step 8: Register services at index page of project

React Native CLI

import { register } from '@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk';
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import { name as appName } from './app.json';
import App from './src/App.js';
​
// Register the service
register();
AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

Expo

import { register } from '@videosdk.live/react-native-sdk';
import App from './App';
import { registerRootComponent } from 'expo';

register();

registerRootComponent(App);

Use hooks API

Our React JS SDK provides two important hooks API:

• useMeeting : Responsible to handle meeting environment.
• useParticipant : Responsible to handle Participant

Also, React Provider and Consumer to listen changes in meeting environment.

• MeetingProvider : Meeting Provider is Context.Provider that allows consuming components to subscribe to meeting changes
• MeetingConsumer : Meeting Consumer is Context.Consumer that subscribes to meeting changes.
