Sample App Activities

The sample app includes a number of activities that demonstrate the features of the GoCoder SDK, including:

• CameraActivity.java, which uses the SDK to capture and broadcast video using the device's internal cameras,
• InfoActivity.java, which uses the SDK's version and device interrogation APIs to list detailed information about the SDK and the mobile device, and
• MP4BroadcastActivity.java, which uses WOWZBroadcast, WOWZBroadcastAPI, and related classes and interfaces to broadcast frames from a local MP4 file.
