I had a need for video conferencing in an Android app. Unfortunately I am not a native Java developer, but prefer to develop using Appcelerator Titanium.

Whilst there is an IOS Titanium module available there is no equivalent Android module, presumably as the Android SDK is still in Beta.

Having said that I am not a native developer I am happy to do a small amount of development so I have converted the Android Hello World demo project into a Titanium Android Module. It is undoubtedly not the best way it could be done, but it does work, with the same caveats that apply to the current Android SDK, i.e. it requires Android 4.1.

I have so far only tested using a Galaxy S3 and the published video is in greyscale.

If it is of any use to anyone it can be found at https://github.com/DesHuth/OpenTokTitaniumModule

Best wishes

Hey Des,

You are a brave soul! Thanks so much for sending us this.

I'm the maintainer of the iOS Titanium module, and I think it would be great if we could eventually merge codebases. That way your contributions would go out with our module thats on the Marketplace. If you are cool with that, maybe we can start by letting me make a 'alpha' branch on the existing repo (https://github.com/opentok/opentok-titanium-mobile) and we can try to iterate on improvements and track any changes that happen in the Java interfaces as well. Would you be interested in that?

Dear Ankur,

As I said, I am not a natural Android Java developer. This was developed as I needed it, and it's usage is not consistent with the IOS module. I am pretty sure that you can do a better job and make it more consistent. So please feel free to fork the module.

I posted here so that anyone could make use of the code, I am happy to see any further development.

Congratulations on a great product, OpenTok is a great tool for us lazy app writers!

Cheers
