iOS

How to use

  cordova plugin add <path-to-plugin-folder>

OR,

  cordova plugin add https://github.com/Vidyo/VidyoConnector-cordova.git

How to import this plugin in to a Cordova Project

Here we demontrate how to create a sample Cordova project and import the VidyoIOCordovaPlugin in to that project.

Prerequisites

npm - Node.js package manager. I have used NodeJS version 6.9.1. Download from - https://nodejs.org/en/
Android SDK with Android API 26 (v8.0) installed.
AndroidStudio if you want to debug the application

Install Cordova

  $ npm install -g cordova [I have used Cordova 7.0.1]

Create a Cordova project

  $ cordova create VidyoIOHybrid com.vidyo.vidyoiohybrid "VidyoIOHybrid app"

Add Android platform to this project

  $ cd VidyoIOHybrid
  $ cordova platform add android

Now add the previously built Vidyo.IO plugin to this project

  $ cordova plugin add <plugin-path>

OR,

  $ cordova plugin add https://github.com/Vidyo/VidyoIOCordovaPlugin.git

This step copies all the relevant files from the plugin folder to the Cordova project folder. It also merges the information related to permissions in to the AndroidManifest.xml. This step should complete without any errors.

Make changes to Cordova application UI

Cordova application's main page is rendered using an html file - VidyoIOHybrid/www/index.html. Now we add a button to this html page. Clicking this button will launch the native Vidyo.IO activity. We also add text boxed to collect the information like vidyo resource ID, token, display name and server address.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="app">
<h1>Apache Cordova</h1>
<div id="deviceready" class="blink">
<p class="event listening">Connecting to Device</p>
<p class="event received">Device is Ready</p>
</div>
<p>
<label>Host:</label>
<input type = "text" id = "host" value = "prod.vidyo.io" />
</p>
<p>
<label>Name:</label>
<input type = "text" id = "name" value = "demoUser" />
</p>
<p>
<label>Resource ID:</label>
<input type = "text" id = "resource" value = "demoRoom" />
</p>
<p>
<label>Token:</label>
<input type = "text" id = "token" value = "" />
</p>
<button id = "new_activity">Launch Vidyo</button>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Next edit the VidyoIOHybrid/www/js/index.js and define the onclick event for the button we just added.

var app = {
    // Application Constructor
    initialize: function() {
        document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady.bind(this), false);
    },
 
    // deviceready Event Handler
    //
    // Bind any cordova events here. Common events are:
    // 'pause', 'resume', etc.
    onDeviceReady: function() {
        this.receivedEvent('deviceready');
    },
 
    // Update DOM on a Received Event
    receivedEvent: function(id) {
        var parentElement = document.getElementById(id);
        var listeningElement = parentElement.querySelector('.listening');
        var receivedElement = parentElement.querySelector('.received');
 
        listeningElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:none;');
        receivedElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:block;');
 
        console.log('Received Event: ' + id);
        document.getElementById("new_activity").addEventListener("click", new_activity);
    }
};
 
app.initialize();
 
function new_activity() {
    var token = document.getElementById("token").value;
    var host = document.getElementById("host").value;
    var name = document.getElementById("name").value;
    var resource = document.getElementById("resource").value;
 
    VidyoIOPlugin.launchVidyoIO([token,host,name,resource]);
}

Android

Build the project

  $ cd VidyoIOHybrid
  $ cordova build android

If the build is successful you can run the application

  $cordova run android

You can also run the application by manually installing the apk file from VidyoIOHybrid\platforms\android\build\outputs\apk On the welcome screen, click on "Launch Vidyo" button to open the Vidyo.IO android activity

How to create this plugin from scratch (optional)

This step is optional and needed only if you want to build the plugin using a different sample than the one i have used.

This section explains how you can build your own Cordova plugin for Vidyo.io using the Android sample application.

Prerequisites

Download the Android SDK from https://vidyo.io. This SDK contains a sample application.
npm - Node.js package manager. I have used NodeJS version 6.9.1. Download from - https://nodejs.org/en/

Install Cordova Plugin manager

$ npm install -g plugman

Create plugin project

$ plugman create --name VidyoIOPlugin --plugin_id com.vidyo.plugin.VidyoIOPlugin --plugin_version 0.0.1

Add Android platform to the plugin by typing the following command

$ cd VidyoIOPlugin

$ plugman platform add --platform_name android

Now we have to copy a few files from Vidyo.IO sample application to the plugin folder.

copy the res folder from the sample to VidyoIOPlugin/src/android.
copy the lib folder from the sample to VidyoIOPlugin/src/android
copy the com folder from VidyoConnector\android\app\src\main\java to VidyoIOPlugin/src/android
We have to refactor the MainActivity.Java file included in the sample to VidyoIOActivity.java and change the class name also to reflect the change. We have to do this because, when we install this plugin in to the Cordova project, Cordova project also has a MainActivity so there will be a conflict.

Next, edit VidyoIOPlugin/src/android/VidyoIOPlugin.java and make sure it looks like the following. Here we are mapping the method "launchVidyoIO" to invoke Vidyo.io activity. We also pass the required parameters to join a Vidyo room.


package com.vidyo.plugin;

/**

 */
public class VidyoIOPlugin extends CordovaPlugin {

    private static final int PERMISSION_REQ_CODE = 0x7b;

    private static final String[] PERMISSIONS = new String[]{
            Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
            Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO,
            Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
    };

    public void initialize(CordovaInterface cordova, CordovaWebView webView) {
        super.initialize(cordova, webView);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
        Context context = cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext();
        if (action.equals("launchVidyoIO")) {
            this.openNewActivity(context, args);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    private void openNewActivity(Context context, JSONArray args) throws JSONException {
        /* Check for required permissions */
        if (!hasAllPermissions()) {
            this.cordova.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSION_REQ_CODE, PERMISSIONS);
            return;
        }

        Intent intent = new Intent(context, VidyoIOActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("token", args.getString(0));
        intent.putExtra("host", args.getString(1));
        intent.putExtra("displayName", args.getString(2));
        intent.putExtra("resourceId", args.getString(3));
        intent.putExtra("hideConfig", true);
        intent.putExtra("autoJoin", true);

        this.cordova.getActivity().startActivity(intent);
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) throws JSONException {
        if (requestCode == PERMISSION_REQ_CODE) {
            for (int result : grantResults) {
                if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
                    Toast.makeText(cordova.getActivity(), "Permissions are not granted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    return; /* quit */
                }
            }

            /* Success */
            Toast.makeText(cordova.getActivity(), "Permissions granted! Please proceed...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    private boolean hasAllPermissions() {
        for (String permission : PERMISSIONS) {
            if (!this.cordova.hasPermission(permission)) return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
}

Now edit VidyoIOPlugin/www/VidyoIOPlugin.js and create a binding to the native method created in previous step

var exec = require('cordova/exec');
function plugin() {
}
plugin.prototype.launchVidyoIO = function(args) { exec(function(res){}, function(err){}, "VidyoIOPlugin", "launchVidyoIO", args); }
module.exports = new plugin();

Next, edit the Cordova plugin configuration file - VidyoIOPlugin/plugin.xml. Here we add rules to correctly merge the permissions, resources, native libraries and Vidyo.IO android activity file. Be sure to change the tag value to VidyoIOPlugin

</plugin>

Finally create the plugin package file so that it can be imported in to a Cordova project

plugman createpackagejson /path/to/your/pluginfolder

Example: plugman createpackagejson C:\CordovaPlugins\VidyoIOPlugin

Your plugin is Ready!

iOS

Prerequisites

MacOS
Xcode if you want to debug the application
iOS Vidyo SDK (https://developer.vidyo.io/packages and move VidyoClientIOS.framework in src/ios/lib folder)

Add iOS platform to the plugin by typing the following command

$ cd VidyoIOPlugin

$ plugman platform add --platform_name ios

After plugin added to the app

In Xcode, click on project, in General settings, add the following to "Linked Frameworks and Libraries":

VidyoClientIOS.framework
AVFoundation.framework
AudioToolbox.framework
CoreLocation.framework
CoreMedia.framework
SystemConfiguration.framework
UIKit.framework

Make sure you have an Entitlements file with :

<dict>
    <key>keychain-access-groups</key>
    <array>
      <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)VidyoLicense</string>
      <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.example.VidyoConnector</string>
    </array>
 </dict>

replace "com.example.VidyoConnector" by your Application ID
