Android SDK setResolution

[Petro O. Bochan]

Howdy, I'm facing a weird behaviour when recording a stream with Android SDK 1.0.1.86. No matter what i try to set resolution for constraints - I'm always getting a recorded file that is 480x640. I used to get lower resolutions too, e.g. 384x384, 288x352, 144x175 but never anything higher than 480x640. Using setBitrate we have achieved decent video quality but the resolution is still too low. How do we set a higher resolution for a recorded stream, e.g. 1280x720?

Thanks,
P

Hello

Are you sure that web cam on the android device supports resolution higher than 640x480 ?
What is the device and its cam on board?

It's Samsung Galaxy A02 and natively it can record video at 1920x864 at 30fps, 17mbps. Here is a ffprobe of what it can record natively:

Can we do the same with Android SDK?

Android SDK 1.0.1.86

It's Samsung Galaxy A02

The model has Android 10 (OneUI 2.5) at start (and may be has update to Android 11). On Android 8 and higher we strongly recommend to use Android SDK 1.1 which has a newer WebRTC library vesion comparing to Android SDK 1.0. The latest build is 1.1.0.57.
Please also try to reproduce the issue using media-devices-debug.apk from 1.1.0.57 build archive.
Note that the resolution you set when publishing a stream is not mandatory, it may be lower if channel bandwidth between mobule device and server is not enough.
