SkylinkSDK for Android 2.0 features Screen sharing functionality as well as an upgrade to libWebRTC.

Getting Started GuideDocumentation


What's New


Media: Create, Remove

  • Local media is now started independently of connecting to the room.
  • Able to now start local media for Screen.
  • Able to now start local media using a user provided video capturer implementation and specific media resolution
  • Disconnecting from room no longer disposes of local media.
  • User can call the destroyLocalMedia API to dispose of a specific local Media
  • Users can call the clearInstance API to clear all media and all skylinkConnection properties
  • A new config property with the methods: isMultitrackCreateEnable() and setMultitrackCreateEnable to enable multi media creation has been added


Media: Modify

  • Modify local media by providing a media id, support mute/unmute for audio and video, start/stop for video and screen share.


Media: State

  • Media state has 4 options: ACTIVE, MUTED, STOPPED, UNAVAILABLE



Media: Get

  • Get the specific SkylinkMedia object by media id or get a list of media objects by media type and peer id, including local media objects and remote media objects
  • Able to get all available media device names, current video device, current capture format and all supported capture formats.


Media: permission

  • Added new methods onRequirePermission, onGrantPermission and onDenyPermission to get permission for screen capturing


Media: Video Resolutions

  • Video resolutions are now returned in 2 ways. They can be returned manually via the method callback while automatic reports can be returned in the MediaListener

  • Get input and received video resolution by media id, get sent video resolution by media id and remote peer id

  • Set input video resolution by media id
  • New method setEnableVideoHwAcceleration to allow video codec hardware acceleration
  • DEFAULT_VIDEO_FPS has replaced MAX_VIDEO_FPS 
  • The property reportVideoResolutionOnChange to activate auto reporting of video resolution has been replaced by 2 different properties reportVideoResolutionOnVideoChange and reportVideoResolutionUntilStable.


Room: connect/disconnect

  • Connecting to room will not, on its own, activate any media.
  • Disconnecting from room will not remove any existing media. The user can directly reconnect to the room with existing media.
  • The room connection listener/delegate method has been separated into two different methods, one for successful connection, and one for failure to connect.
  • Set properties reconnectAttempts and reconnectionDelay in SkylinkConfig to set the SDK's automatic reconnection to a room if it fails to connect or gets disconnected due to unexpected reasons (e.g. network errors).
  • A new property SocketTransport has been added for users to set the preferred socket transport to connect to the room.

SkylinkConnection: init

  • Properties in SkylinkConfig need to be set before initialising the SkylinkConnection. After SkylinkConnection is initialised, any subsequent config setting will be discarded.
  • init method for the SkylinkConnection instance no longer requires appKey


Room: Information

  • Method setEnableLogs to enable detailed SDK logging now falls under the SkylinkConnection class, not SkylinkConfig
  • onReceiveLog and onWarning have been deprecated. Please use onReceiveInfo, onReceiveWarning and onReceiveError instead.
  • New enum NetworkTransport for setting/getting networkTransport, and SkylinkAction for setting/getting timeout.
  • New enum SkylinkRoomSize to set the room size with the below options has been added. It is recommended to set this on SkylinkConfig. These sizes correspond to the following number of users:
  • EXTRA_SMALL: Up to 2 users
  • SMALL: Up to 4 users
  • MEDIUM: Up to 5 users
  • LARGE: Up to 8 users
  • EXTRA_LARGE: Currently defaults to LARGE capacity (Up to 8 users). Increased capacity will be available with a future version.


User

  • When connecting/disconnecting with a remote peer, new callbacks onReceiveRemotePeerJoinRoom, onReceiveRemotePeerLeaveRoom, onConnectWithRemotePeer and onDisconnectWithRemotePeer have been added for notifying the connection/ disconnection of a remote peer to/from a room and  the connection/ disconnection of a remote peer to/from the other peers  respectively. These have replaced the functionality of the previous callbacks onRemotePeerJoin and onRemotePeerLeft.
  • Video resolution properties are no longer stored under UserInfo and can now be retrieved via media id from getInputVideoResolution, getReceivedVideoResolution and getSentVideoResolution

  • Media configuration (setVideoSend/setAudioSend) has been moved to SkylinkConfig

  • Media states like audioMuted/videoMuted now belong to the SkylinkMedia object. These cannot be obtained from the UserInfo class
  • The method getUserData has been deprecated and replaced with getUserInfo(String peerId).getUserData().


FileTransfer

  • The APIs for accepting and rejecting a file transfer have been separated into: acceptFileTransfer and rejectFileTransfer respectively.


Statistics

  • StatsListener has been removed, since the stats are outputted in the method callback itself


Recording

  • Recorded video links will now only be sent directly to the registered email on the Temasys console. This Notification Email can be configured on the Recording Configuration tab under Account Settings.


Errors/ Warnings

  •   Added new classes/enums SkylinkEvent, SkylinkError, SkylinkInfo for improved error/warning specification


Bug-Fixes

  • Fixed a camera access bug observed when the device only has 1 camera. 
  • Fixed a bug which prevents connection to remote peers if a Peer joins with NO_AUDIO_NO_VIDEO for both send and receive configs in an MCU enabled room.


Known Issues

  • The H264 video codec(both baseline and high profile) cannot be used on devices whose hardware does not support the codec or in cases where the device does not use a Qualcomm or EXYNOS processor.
  • The screen share capturer only capture the active screen, which may cause black screens for the remote side when the shared screen is not active or goes into the background mode.
  • It is not currently possible to specifically return the video resolution for camera and screen if both media are active at the same time. I.e., trying to get video resolution for camera might return video resolution for screen instead. This is not an issue if only 1 video source is present.
  • Automatic reconnect to room might not currently work for SMR (MCU) enabled rooms.

  • Changes have been made to the names and parameters of multiple Public APIs, as reflected in the tables below.
