The easiest way to play an audio RTMP stream in Android

Question

I found some Android RTMP libraries (like this : http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/).

The problem is that there is no accurate documentation on how we can use it.

Answer 1

Not sure if this helps, but... I was able to do something similar (rtmp - streaming video) using Flash, so you need Android 2.2+ for this.

Anyway, I just wrote an HTML page displaying the flash video then opened the page in a WebView.

 

    

Please Install Adobe Flash Player  
        


  
      
  
 

OK... now just save that in your assets folder in your project and open it with something like this in your activity :

    String LocalFile = "file:///android_asset/YOUR_HTML_FILE.htm";

    WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.YOUR_WEB_VIEW);
    WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webSettings.setPluginsEnabled(true);

    webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
    webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true); 
    webSettings.setAllowFileAccess(true);

    webView.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
    webView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
    webView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
    webView.loadUrl(LocalFile);

Its a bit of a work around... Hope it works for you. CDub.
