Wireless Live Streaming Example

The source code is available on GitHub.

https://github.com/ricohapi/theta-wireless-live-streaming-plugin

You may need to clone the repo with Git Large File Storage if you want to download the pre-compiled apk with the repo. This guide covers working with the source code and compiling it within Android Studio.

Usage of the Wireless Live Streaming plug-in is covered extensively in the Plug-in User Guide (free registration to community required).

Import Project

You do not need to build from source if you want to test the plug-in functionality. You can go to the THETA Store and download the plug-in for free.

After extracting the files, you will see a standard project structure. If you extracted from a zipped file, the pre-compiled apk will not work. You must build from source.

extracted files

In Android Studio, go to File -> New -> Import Project....

import project

Select the wireless-live-streaming project. I needed to change the name of the project to a shorter project name.

select project

After importing into Android Studio, you will see your project files.

Browse Files

Look into the web server and rtmp libraries that the plug-in is using.

NanoHTTPD for web server configuration

One of the more interesting files is the AndroidWebServer that is used for the configuration of the plug-in through a web browser.

The import statement shows the use of the NanoHTTPD package that is available on GitHub.

By using this technique, you can build a browser-based tool that allows your users to connect to the camera with a mobile phone or desktop computer. See the plug-in user guide for more information on this technique.

Install

Use adb to install the apk. The command is adb install app-debug.apk. You can specify by full path of the file on the cmd prompt by dragging the file from File Explorer onto the Command Prompt.
