Prerequisites

Before getting started with this reference app, ensure you have the following set up:

• Android SDK API Level 24 or higher
• A mobile device that runs Android 4.1 or higher
• An Agora account and project
• A computer with Internet access. Ensure that no firewall is blocking your network communication.

Run the app

1. Clone the repository

   To clone the repository to your local machine, open Terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. Then, use the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/AgoraIO/video-sdk-samples-android.git

2. Open the project

   Launch Android Studio. From the File menu, select Open... and navigate to the android-reference-app folder. Start Gradle sync to automatically install all project dependencies.

3. Modify the project configuration

   The app loads connection parameters from the config.json file. Ensure that the file is populated with the required parameter values before running the application.

   • uid: The user ID associated with the application.
   • appId: (Required) The unique ID for the application obtained from Agora Console.
   • channelName: The default name of the channel to join.
   • rtcToken:An token generated for channelName. You generate a temporary token using the Agora token builder.
   • serverUrl: The URL for the token generator. See Secure authentication with tokens for information on how to set up a token server.
   • tokenExpiryTime: The time in seconds after which a token expires.

   If a valid serverUrl is provided, all samples use the token server to obtain a token except the SDK quickstart project that uses the rtcToken. If a serverUrl is not specified, all samples except Secure authentication with tokens use the rtcToken from config.json.

4. Build and run the project

   To build and run the project, select your connected Android device or emulator and press the Run button in Android Studio.

5. Run the samples in the reference app

   From the main app screen, choose and launch a sample.
