I wanted to build video calling app using webRTC and went through lot of websites searching for that but found nothing, just disappointment as most of websites provided the steps for the web and the other said to visit this link "https://webrtc.org/native-code/development/" for native android sdk of webRTC, which shows 404 error. I just want to know, google don't provide native android sdk?. So, I can't build native android app with webRTC or there is some other method to use webRTC. And if not what's some other way to make video calling app?
Old site moved to: https://webrtc.github.io/webrtc-org/native-code/android/
Not happy with the new site as well tbh.

I'm facing migrating my iOS Cordova based app to PWA. The primary issue is that it is using NFC scanner. I have started to wonder if there is any way to polyfill NFC web API on iOS / Safari? It seems that official support will not happend soon...
At the moment I'm thinking of creating some kind of "service" that would host native NFC API over some communication channel.
A bit more detailed:
Create an app/service that would be a proxy for native NFC API.
The app should receive scan requests send scan results over browser reachable interface (Sockets?).
At PWA side I think it could be nicely packed into NFC web API shape.
Native app would be required to install with my PWA. But can also be considered general proxy for PWA class apps.
I'm not familiar with iOS programming and architecture but it seems there are some basic flaws of this concept. So here are my questions to iOS devs :)
Is is possible to implement and run continually some kind of service like TCP / sockets server?
Do you have an idea which layer would be suitable to handle communication between NFC proxy and PWA?
Maybe you have some alternatives to proposed approach?

I am currently integrating our cordova app with social networking apps such as twitter, linkedin and yammer. The first two apps provide uri scheme in directly opening the user's profile. E.g. twitter://user?screen_name=SREEN_NAME and linkedin://profile/PROFILE_ID respectively.
Now, I am trying to figure out for yammer. There doesn't seem to have much information in the internet. I managed to download the IPA file and extract the info.plist file. There, it shows yammer:// and it does open the ios app. I played around with the combination for opening a profile but did not have much luck. I am wondering if anyone had figured it out already. Would love if there's a yammer developer around here.
Unfortunately at the moment we don't support a way to do this
I have done this in a xamarin.forms app in both iOS and Android environment using Jordan Hewitt's example here: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/48089/how-to-open-other-apps-from-xamarin-forms
The URI schema would be defined in Xamarin.forms in MainPage.xaml.cs as:
Xamarin.Forms.Device.OpenUri(new Uri("yammer://threads"));
For native iOS and Android the schema would be same: "yammer://threads"
Hope this helps.
I have created a simple twilio client application to make phone calls from Web Browser to phones. I used a sample Flask app to generate a secure Capability Token and used twilio.min.js library to handle calls from my HTML.
The functionality works fine in Computer Browsers and Android Phone Browsers, but fails in IOS browsers(checked both in Safari and Chrome). In android the page asks for permission to use mic and headphone but in IOS it doesnot even as for that. Is there anything that I am missing here? It would be really helpful if someone can throw some light into this.
The doc I referred to was : Twilio Hello Monkey Client
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Twilio Client uses WebRTC and falls back to Flash in order to make web browsers into phones. Unfortunately Safari on iOS supports neither WebRTC nor Flash so Twilio Client cannot work within any browser on iOS.
It is possible to build an iOS application to use Twilio Client just not a web application.
I have a Tomcat based server which serves as a Websocket end point (used javax.websocket) for my web based JS app. I am serving out json based data (queried from my database) via the web sockets. I am not using websockets to serve out HTML/JS pages.
Now we are building a native mobile app of our JS web app. There doesnt seem to be good native support for Websockets on Android and ios.
I would like to keep the server code base common to both JS client and the mobile client.
What would be your suggestion for such a situation? Write a different server for mobile clients?
I found this http://www.elabs.se/blog/66-using-websockets-in-native-ios-and-android-apps. They suggest SocketRocket for ios and https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket for Android.
I have never heard of these people / companies. Not sure of their antecedents and if their apps are bug free.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
I'm not sure if this is the answer you are looking for, but I tried this once, and decided to use a webpage that uses the websocket. Each app will display a webview accessing the page. All recent iOS SDK versions support this, but only the newer (4.4+) Androids will.
If you do not want to use webviews, I recommend Tavendo Autobahn for Android. I had a problem that my server's websocket would disconnect all the time. I had to implement a reconnection routine every couple of seconds on the app.
Hope it helps :)
I'm using this library on android for websockets https://github.com/codebutler/android-websockets
Works good with Spring WebSockets.
Sorry for messy answer, I'm in hurry, write in comments if u have questions
I am looking to integrate Push Notification in my Jquery mobile web App using PhoneGap for Android. Is there any solution to put cloud messaging in web app like push notification.
My app is based on getting friends location and checked in new location so i was looking for messaging or push notification in web app.
i am also read about http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/eventsource/basics/
but this was not helpful for me.
If real time Push Notification not possible in HTML5 web app Please let me about asynchronous messaging like offline messaging in my app.
I recently implemented realtime messaging with the WebSocket protocol, it is easy to implement, very performant and it supports encryption.
Try Urban Airship. You get 1 million free push notifications every month.
It is also working with Phonegap.
Link: http://docs.urbanairship.com/build/phonegap.html
ScaleDrone allows pushing to (and from) PhoneGap and web. It will use Websockets if possible and other technologies when Websockets are unavailable.
There is an API for this: http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-push-api-20141007/, but I wouldn't count on platform support here. However, since you are using PhoneGap, you can integrate your app with native cloud messaging. Here's a tutorial.
Push Notification can be implemented. If you are using Phonegap, PushPlugin ia a good available option. This plugin is for use with Cordova, and allows your application to receive push notifications on Amazon Fire OS, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Windows8 devices. ALso it is free to use.
The Android implementation uses Google's GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) service.
For detailed implementation guide using Android refer Android section in this link.
Hope it will answer your question. this is late answer here, can be helpful to you as well as others looking for similar kind of solution.
