Native Jitsi support has been added to Element Android by the PR [#1914](https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/pull/1914). The description of the PR contains some documentation about the behaviour in each possible room configuration.
|
|
|
|
Also, ensure to have a look on [the documentation from Element Web](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/docs/jitsi.md)
|
|
|
|
The official documentation about how to integrate the Jitsi SDK in an Android app is available here: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/dev-guide/dev-guide-android-sdk.
|
|
|
|
## Native Jitsi SDK
|
|
|
|
The Jitsi SDK is built by ourselves with the flag LIBRE_BUILD, to be able to be integrated on the F-Droid version of Element Android.
|
|
|
|
The generated maven repository is then host in the project https://github.com/element-hq/jitsi_libre_maven
|
|
|
|
### How to build the Jitsi Meet SDK
|
|
|
|
#### Jitsi version
|
|
|
|
Update the script `./tools/jitsi/build_jisti_libs.sh` with the tag of the project `https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet`.
|
|
|
|
Latest tag can be found from this page: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-release-notes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-MOBILE-SDKS.md
|
|
|
|
Currently we are building the version with the tag `android-sdk-8.1.1`.
|
|
|
|
#### Run the build script
|
|
|
|
At the root of the Element Android, run the following script:
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
./tools/jitsi/build_jisti_libs.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will build the Jitsi Meet Android library and put every generated files in the folder `/tmp/jitsi`
|
|
|
|
#### Link with the new generated library
|
|
|
|
- Update the file `./build.gradle` to use the previously created local Maven repository. Currently we have this line:
|
|
|
|
```groovy
|
|
url "https://github.com/element-hq/jitsi_libre_maven/raw/main/android-sdk-8.1.1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can uncomment and update the line starting with `// url "file://...` and comment the line starting with `url`, to test the library using the locally generated Maven repository.
|
|
|
|
- Update the dependency of the Jitsi Meet library in the file `./vector/build.gradle`. Currently we have this line:
|
|
|
|
```groovy
|
|
api('org.jitsi.react:jitsi-meet-sdk:8.1.1')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Update the dependency of the WebRTC library in the file `./vector/build.gradle`. Currently we have this line:
|
|
|
|
```groovy
|
|
implementation('com.facebook.react:react-native-webrtc:111.0.0-jitsi-13672566@aar')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Perform a gradle sync and build the project
|
|
- Perform test
|
|
|
|
#### Sanity tests
|
|
|
|
In order to validate that the upgrade of the Jitsi and WebRTC dependency does not break anything, the following sanity tests have to be performed, using two devices:
|
|
- Make 1-1 audio call (so using WebRTC)
|
|
- Make 1-1 video call (so using WebRTC)
|
|
- Create and join a conference call with audio only (so using Jitsi library). Leave the conference. Join it again.
|
|
- Create and join a conference call with audio and video (so using Jitsi library) Leave the conference. Join it again.
|
|
|
|
#### Export the build library
|
|
|
|
If all the tests are passed, you can export the generated Jitsi library to our Maven repository.
|
|
|
|
- Clone the project https://github.com/element-hq/jitsi_libre_maven.
|
|
- Create a new folder with the version name.
|
|
- Copy every generated files form `/tmp/jitsi` to the folder you have just created.
|
|
- Commit and push the change on https://github.com/element-hq/jitsi_libre_maven.
|
|
- Update the file `./build.gradle` to use the previously created Maven repository. Currently we have this line:
|
|
|
|
```groovy
|
|
url "https://github.com/element-hq/jitsi_libre_maven/raw/main/android-sdk-8.1.1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Build the project and perform the sanity tests again.
|
|
|
|
- Create a PR for project Element Android and add a changelog file `<PR_NUMBER>.misc` to notify about the library upgrade.
