Project setup

Get the sample project

Run the following command to clone the repository locally:

git clone git@github.com:AgoraIO/API-Examples.git

This repository contains sample projects for all native platforms of Agora Video SDK. The API usage examples for Android are located under /Android.

Configure the sample project

1. Integrate the SDK and install dependencies

The /APIExample/app/build.gradle file contains the project dependencies. When you open the project in Android Studio, it automatically downloads the dependencies and integrates the SDK.

1. Set App ID and app certificate

Open the /APIExample/app/src/main/res/values/string-config.xml file and fill in the App ID and app certificate you obtained from the Agora Console.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <!--
  Agora App ID
  -->
  <string name="agora_app_id" translatable="false">Your App ID</string>

  <!--
  Agora app certificate
  Note: Leave this field empty if the project allows joining by App ID only.
  -->
  <string name="agora_app_certificate" translatable="false">Your app certificate</string>

</resources>

Run the sample project

1. Open the /API-Examples/Android/APIExample folder in Android Studio.

2. Turn on developer options on your Android device, enable USB debugging, and connect the device to the development machine through a USB cable. Your Android device appears in the Android device options.

   

3. In Android Studio, click Sync Project with Gradle Files for Gradle synchronization.

4. After synchronization is complete, click Run 'app' to start compilation.

The app is installed as Agora API Example on your device.

5. Open the app and choose the example you want to run. For example, to test Live Interactive Video Streaming, select the option from the menu, enter the channel name, and click Join.

   

6. To test various audio and video interaction use-cases, connect to the Agora web demo, or install and run the sample project on a second device. Make sure you use the same app ID on both devices. When you join the same channel from two devices, you can see and hear each other.
