Android SDK 1.1.0

Status

Android SDK 1.1.0 is in early access. The production platform it connects to (token API, signaling, encrypted SFU and TURN) is live; the SDK artifact is shared with early-access projects and is not yet published to a public Maven repository.

Installation

Early-access projects receive the AAR and a private Maven repository URL from Fah Swe (request access via https://fahswertc.com/contact). Add that repository and the dependency below; the coordinates stay the same when the SDK is published publicly.

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    // Early access: the repository URL you received from Fah Swe
    maven(url = uri("<early-access-maven-url>"))
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.fahswe:fahswe-rtc:1.1.0")
}

Requirements

• minSdk as declared by the AAR
• ABIs: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64 as packaged
• 16 KB page-size: follow AAR release notes
• Request mic/camera permissions only when needed

Join a room

Mint a short-lived token on your server. Never place App Secret in the Android app.

Call initialize() before joinRoom. Role must be FsRole (not a raw string).

import com.fahswe.rtc.FsRtcEngine
import com.fahswe.rtc.FsRole

val engine = FsRtcEngine(appId = appIdFromServer)
engine.initialize()
engine.joinRoom(
    token = serverToken,
    roomId = "room_demo",
    userId = "user_42",
    role = FsRole.Host,
    mediaHost = null
)

Publish and subscribe

After join, publish or subscribe explicitly. video=true only when your app has camera permission and the plan includes video.

engine.startPublish(streamId = "cam1", audio = true, video = false)
engine.startSubscribe(streamId = "cam1")

Mute

Voice session mute via FsVoiceSession when using the voice session path.

import com.fahswe.rtc.FsVoiceSession

val voice: FsVoiceSession = /* from FsRtcClient.voiceSession() */
voice.mute(true)

Leave and destroy

leaveRoom ends the join. release() tears down native resources.

engine.leaveRoom()
engine.release()

Errors

Use FsErrorCodes such as FS_AUTH, FS_TOKEN_EXPIRED, FS_PERMISSION, FS_ROOM_CLOSED, FS_SEAT_CONFLICT, FS_RATE_LIMITED.

Security

• App Secret never ships in the APK
• Short-lived tokens
• Rotate credentials in Developer Console

Good to know

Seat flows are signaling HTTP, not FsRtcEngine methods.

Video PK and livestream remain coming later.
