API

Jitsi Meet SDK is an Android library which embodies the whole Jitsi Meet experience and makes it reusable by third-party apps.

To get started, extends your android.app.Activity from org.jitsi.meet.sdk.JitsiMeetActivity:

package org.jitsi.example;

import org.jitsi.meet.sdk.JitsiMeetActivity;

public class MainActivity extends JitsiMeetActivity {
}

Alternatively, you can use the org.jitsi.meet.sdk.JitsiMeetView class which extends android.view.View:

package org.jitsi.example;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import org.jitsi.meet.sdk.JitsiMeetView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private JitsiMeetView view;

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if (!JitsiMeetView.onBackPressed()) {
            // Invoke the default handler if it wasn't handled by React.
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        view = new JitsiMeetView(this);
        view.loadURL(null);

        setContentView(view);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();

        view.dispose();
        view = null;

        JitsiMeetView.onHostDestroy(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        JitsiMeetView.onNewIntent(intent);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();

        JitsiMeetView.onHostPause(this);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        JitsiMeetView.onHostResume(this);
    }
}

JitsiMeetActivity

This class encapsulates a high level API in the form of an Android Activity which displays a single JitsiMeetView.

getWelcomePageEnabled()

See JitsiMeetView.getWelcomePageEnabled.

loadURL(URL)

See JitsiMeetView.loadURL.

setWelcomePageEnabled(boolean)

See JitsiMeetView.setWelcomePageEnabled.

JitsiMeetView

The JitsiMeetView class is the core of Jitsi Meet SDK. It's designed to display a Jitsi Meet conference (or a welcome page).

dispose()

Releases all resources associated with this view. This method MUST be called when the Activity holding this view is going to be destroyed, usually in the onDestroy() method.

getListener()

Returns the JitsiMeetViewListener instance attached to the view.

getWelcomePageEnabled()

Returns true if the Welcome page is enabled; otherwise, false. If false, a black empty view will be rendered when not in a conference. Defaults to false.

loadURL(URL)

Loads a specific URL which may identify a conference to join. If the specified URL is null and the Welcome page is enabled, the Welcome page is displayed instead.

loadURLString(String)

Loads a specific URL which may identify a conference to join. If the specified URL is null and the Welcome page is enabled, the Welcome page is displayed instead.

loadURLObject(Bundle)

Loads a specific URL which may identify a conference to join. The URL is specified in the form of a Bundle of properties which (1) internally are sufficient to construct a URL (string) while (2) abstracting the specifics of constructing the URL away from API clients/consumers. If the specified URL is null and the Welcome page is enabled, the Welcome page is displayed instead.

Example:

Bundle configOverwrite = new Bundle();
configOverwrite.putBoolean("startWithAudioMuted", true);
configOverwrite.putBoolean("startWithVideoMuted", false);
Bundle urlBundle = new Bundle();
urlBundle.putBundle("configOverwrite", configOverwrite);
urlBundle.putString("url", "https://meet.jit.si/Test123");
view.loadURLObject(urlBundle);

setListener(listener)

Sets the given listener (class implementing the JitsiMeetViewListener interface) on the view.

setWelcomePageEnabled(boolean)

Sets whether the Welcome page is enabled. See getWelcomePageEnabled for more information.

NOTE: Must be called before loadURL/loadURLString for it to take effect.

onBackPressed()

Helper method which should be called from the activity's onBackPressed method. If this function returns true, it means the action was handled and thus no extra processing is required; otherwise the app should call the parent's onBackPressed method.

This is a static method.

onHostDestroy(activity)

Helper method which should be called from the activity's onDestroy method.

This is a static method.

onHostPause(activity)

Helper method which should be called from the activity's onPause method.

This is a static method.

onHostResume(activity)

Helper method which should be called from the activity's onResume method.

This is a static method.

onNewIntent(intent)

Helper method for integrating the deep linking functionality. If your app's activity is launched in "singleTask" mode this method should be called from the activity's onNewIntent method.

This is a static method.

JitsiMeetViewListener

JitsiMeetViewListener provides an interface apps can implement to listen to the state of the Jitsi Meet conference displayed in a JitsiMeetView.

JitsiMeetViewAdapter

A default implementation of the JitsiMeetViewListener interface. Apps may extend the class instead of implementing the interface in order to minimize boilerplate.

onConferenceFailed

Called when a joining a conference was unsuccessful or when there was an error while in a conference.

The data Map contains an "error" key describing the error and a "url" key with the conference URL.

onConferenceJoined

Called when a conference was joined.

The data Map contains a "url" key with the conference URL.

onConferenceLeft

Called when a conference was left.

The data Map contains a "url" key with the conference URL.

onConferenceWillJoin

Called before a conference is joined.

The data Map contains a "url" key with the conference URL.

onConferenceWillLeave

Called before a conference is left.

The data Map contains a "url" key with the conference URL.

onLoadConfigError

Called when loading the main configuration file from the Jitsi Meet deployment fails.

The data Map contains an "error" key with the error and a "url" key with the conference URL which necessitated the loading of the configuration file.
