Android SDK Quickstart

Overview

In this guide, you will create a HelloWorld app using Android Studio and integrate the ScreenMeet Mobile SDK.  You will be able to being streaming the app to the ScreenMeet session.

Prerequisites

• Latest version of Android Studio is installed.

• You have a Mobile API key generated for your organization.

• You have access to create a remote support session for your organization either through Salesforce or the ScreenMeet Console.

Step 1 -- Launch Android Studio and create a new "Basic Activity" app.

Step 2 -- Fill in the details for the application name and click the "Finish" button.

Step 3 -- Find and edit your app/build.gradle file.

Step 4 -- Add the compiler compliance declaration

    // NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIED FOR SCREENMEET SDK
    compileOptions {
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

Step 5 -- Add the ScreenMeet maven repository.

repositories {
    // NEEDED FOR SCREENMEET SDK
    maven {
        url "https://nexus.screenmeet.com/repository/maven-releases/"
    }
}

Step 6 -- Add the ScreenMeet SDK dependency

    // NEEDED FOR SCREENMEET SDK
    implementation 'com.screenmeet:sdk:3.0.10'

Step 7 -- Sync the gradle file.

Step 8 -- Edit the MainActivity.java file and initialize the ScreenMeet SDK.

        ScreenMeet.init(this.getApplicationContext(), new ScreenMeet.Configuration("YOUR API KEY"));
        this.getApplication().registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(ScreenMeet.activityLifecycleCallback());

Step 9 -- Show the session initiation dialog.

                ScreenMeet.connect("YOUR SESSION CODE", new CompletionHandler() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess() {
                        ScreenMeet.shareScreen();
                        ScreenMeet.shareAudio();
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(@NotNull CompletionError completionError) {
                        //DO SOME ERROR HANDLING
                    }
                });
