By using Android Archive Library (.aar)

• You get the .aar file after downloading the Android SDK.
• Add the downloaded .aar file under lib folder.
• Go to your Project’s root directory and edit build.gradle by placing the following code in the allprojects.repositories section:

allprojects {
      repositories {
          flatDir {
              dirs 'src/main/libs'
          }
      }
  }

• Go to your application’s build.gradle file and add the following code in the dependencies section:

 implementation 'org.webrtc:google-webrtc:1.0.25331'

 implementation('io.socket:socket.io-client:1.0.0') {
     //Excluding org.json which is provided by Android
     exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
 }

 // Add name of the downloaded aar file such as "EnxRtcAndroid-release_1.9.8"
 implementation (name: 'name of the EnableX Android library', ext: 'aar') 
 implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1'

Note: If your Application uses Android SDK 1.7.0+ then it is mandatory to add
 implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1' as shown above.

By using Maven Dependency

You can also integrate EnableX Android SDK in your application using Maven. Modify your app gradle to download the Enablex Android SDK.

• Edit the build.gradle for your project and add the following code in the allprojects.repositories section:

 allprojects {
      repositories {
           maven  {
               url  "https://dl.bintray.com/enablex/maven" 
          }
      }
  } 

• Modify build.gradle for your module and add the following code snippet in the dependencies section:

implementation 'com.enxrtc:Enx-Rtc-Android:1.7.0'
implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1'

Define Device Permissions

Define Permissions in AndroidManifest.xml as shown:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>  
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

Define Features

Define features in AndroidManifest.xml as shown:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"/> 
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"/>  
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/>     

Error & Exceptions Handling

When EnableX Android SDK API call fails, it returns a JSON object through Callback as shown:

{
	"errorCode": Number,
	"msg": "String",
	"desc": "String"
}

• errorCode – Number. Error Code.
• msg – String. Error Message.
• desc – String. Optional. A descriptive explanation of the error.
