Adding Dependencies

Step 3: Add WebRTC-Android-SDK Dependency​

There are two methods for integrating the Android SDK into your Android app project:

  1. Via Maven Repository (Easy) – Quick and simple, but you won’t be able to modify the SDK files.

  2. As a Module (Advanced) – Gives you the ability to edit the SDK source code if needed.

Add WebRTC-Android-SDK From Maven Repo (Easy)​

  • Add the Maven repository to your settings.gradle file under dependencyResolutionManagement/repositories section:

      maven {
        url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }

  • After adding the repository, we will add the following lines to the dependencies session in the app build.gradle file.
    implementation "io.antmedia:webrtc-android-framework:{version}"

  • Replace version with the latest android sdk version released on maven. You can see all released versions here.

    For Example:

    implementation "io.antmedia:webrtc-android-framework:2.11.0"

That is all. We have added the dependency and we are ready to create our WebRTC streaming application.

Add WebRTC-Android-SDK As a Module (Advanced)​

  • Clone WebRTC-Android-SDK repository to your local.

    git clone https://github.com/ant-media/WebRTC-Android-SDK.git

  • Open your android project with Android Studio. From left top corner, click File > New > Import Module to import.

  • Open WebRTC-Android-SDK and choose webrtc-android-framework from your file system.

  • After clicking Finish, you will face with 2 errors as below:

  • To fix those errors, remove publish-remote.gradle file from webrtc-android-framework module.

    After removing, go to build.gradle file of webrtc-android-framework module and remove below line.

    apply from: 'publish-remote.gradle'

    Then, go to your app project's build.gradle file and add below line to the dependencies.

    api project(":webrtc-android-framework")

  • Finally, sync gradle and it should be all done.

You can now navigate to your application module and begin developing your streaming application. If needed, you can edit any of the Android SDK files within the webrtc-android-framework, and your changes will be applied.

Add Firebase Cloud Messaging Dependency:​

  • Open your app-level build.gradle file.

  • Add the Firebase Cloud Messaging dependency:

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:23.0.0'

Congratulations!​

You’ve successfully added the WebRTC-Android-SDK dependency and configured Firebase Cloud Messaging in your project. With this setup, your application is now ready to handle real-time WebRTC streaming and push notifications seamlessly.
