Hi all,

I managed to get video calls on Linux. For video calls to work, I needed following libraries:

• OpenH264

• SDL2

• v4l2

This allows me to have a basic video calling capability (no extra video manipulation offered through ffmpeg).

Can I use the same on Android or follow what is given on this link: https://trac.pjsip.org/repos/wiki/Getting-Started/Android? The link suggests following:

• native capture (does this mean Android already offers native capture or I need v4l2 for that?)

• native OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer (requires Android 2.2 (API level 8) or higher). (What does OpenGL offer that SDL2 does not?)

• OpenH264

My question is which libraries (bare minimum) do I really need to achieve H.264 video calls on Android?

Regards,

Zarko

After working on it for a while. I came to a conclusion the only extra library needed is openH264.
