Android 6.0 Get Camera permission for WebRTC

[jmatsushita]

Redirected from RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Android#11 Seems implemented for iOS #29 but doesn't work for me on Android.

WebRTC works with the Android Chrome browser it would be great to have it on the Android app too! I guess that WebRTC broadcasts should probably also be using Push notifications.

WebRTC support is already on Android. What version of Android do you have and do are you using the latest from the play store, or compiling your self?

[jmatsushita]

I'm using Android 6.0.1 (In version 6 there's a new permissions API which require requesting access at runtime) and the latest app from the playstore (which also fetched an update recently - maybe because I updated our server side instance which tracks the develop branch - but it didn't work even before that).

I have the same problem. When my application is running in the 6.0 version of the system, the camera has been shown in black. I have added all the required permissions. How do you solve this problem?

over a year and still no help - looks like i wasted a lot of my time on Rocket.Chat that I wont get back. I could have found something else to use. This is ridiculous. Several people have the same issue and it has been over a year - yet no resolution. Disgraceful.

@ProfessorSr1974 , From Android5.0, WebView can support WebRTC. For Android6.0+, before you enter an activity which contains a WebView with WebRTC function, you should request the permissions(Manifest.permission.CAMERA and Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) first. Then you should override a method like this:

mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
@override
public void onPermissionRequest(final PermissionRequest request) {

    WebRTCActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Log.i(TAG, "PermissionRequest = " + Arrays.toString(request.getResources()));
            request.grant(request.getResources());   // this code must execute
        }
    });

}
});
mWebView.loadUrl("your webrtc https address"); // http is not support
