Android 1-to-1 Tutorial

English | 中文

This tutorial enables you to quickly get started in your development efforts to create an Android app with real-time video calls, voice calls, and interactive broadcasting.

With this sample app, you can:

  • Join / leave channel
  • Mute / unmute audio
  • Switch camera
  • Setup resolution, frame rate and bit rate

Prerequisites

  • Android Studio 3.3 or above
  • Android device (e.g. Nexus 5X). A real device is recommended because some simulators have missing functionality or lack the performance necessary to run the sample.

Quick Start

This section shows you how to prepare, build, and run the sample application.

Obtain an App ID

To build and run the sample application, get an App ID:

  1. Create a developer account at agora.io. Once you finish the signup process, you will be redirected to the Dashboard.

  2. Navigate in the Dashboard tree on the left to Projects > Project List.

  3. Save the App ID from the Dashboard for later use.

  4. Generate a temp Access Token (valid for 24 hours) from dashboard page with given channel name, save for later use.

  5. Locate the file app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml and replace <#YOUR APP ID#> with the App ID in the dashboard.

<string name="agora_app_id"><#YOUR APP ID#></string>
<!-- Obtain a temp Access Token at https://dashboard.agora.io -->
<!-- You will need to deploy your own token server for production release -->
<!-- Leave this value empty if Security keys/Token is not enabled for your project -->
<string name="agora_access_token"><#YOUR TOKEN#></string>

To ensure communication security, Agora uses tokens (dynamic keys) to authenticate users joining a channel.

Temporary tokens are for demonstration and testing purposes only and remain valid for 24 hours. In a production environment, you need to deploy your own server for generating tokens. See [Generate a Token](https://docs.agora.io/en/Interactive Broadcast/token_server)for details.

Integrate the Agora Video SDK

The SDK must be integrated into the sample project before it can opened and built. There are two methods for integrating the Agora Video SDK into the sample project. The first method uses JCenter to automatically integrate the SDK files. The second method requires you to manually copy the SDK files to the project.

Method 1 - Integrate the SDK Automatically Using JCenter (Recommended)

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Open app/build.gradle and add the following line to the dependencies list:
...
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'io.agora.rtc:full-sdk:3.0.0'
}

Method 2 - Manually copy the SDK files

  1. Download the Agora Video SDK from Agora.io SDK.
  2. Unzip the downloaded SDK package.
  3. Copy the following files from the libs folder of the downloaded SDK package:
Copy from SDK Copy to Project Folder
.jar file /apps/libs folder
arm64-v8a folder /app/src/main/jniLibs folder
x86 folder /app/src/main/jniLibs folder
armeabi-v7a folder /app/src/main/jniLibs folder

​

Run the Application

Open project with Android Studio, connect your Android device, build and run.

Or use Gradle to build and run.
