Record Room Stream from Android

[Garrett]

I don't see a way to record video through the Android SDK while using the roomAPI. It is easy to do it with the web's JS SDK by sending record=true in the room.publish() call, but that doesn't seem to be possible on Android. Android's Room.publish method only seems to accept a SurfaceViewRenderer.

Am I missing something, or is this not currently supported?

Yes, currently we don't have streamOptions parameter for room publishing under Android SDK. But it looks like a simple changes and we will try to add this parameter in a few days to get something like this:

public Stream publish(SurfaceViewRenderer renderer, StreamOptions streamOptions) {
...
}

I will inform you if we have any progress.

That would be very useful, thank you very much.

We have implemented passing of streamOptions parameter in the latest Android SDK build.

public Stream publish(SurfaceViewRenderer renderer, StreamOptions streamOptions) {
...
}

Example:
ConferenceActivity.java

boolean record = mRecord.isChecked();
StreamOptions streamOptions = new StreamOptions();
streamOptions.setRecord(record);
stream = room.publish(localRenderer, streamOptions);
