Quickstart

Get the roomName for the meeting and the participant's authToken from our backend APIs (read more about our server APIs here), and pass them to Dyte's client SDK.

There are 2 ways to launch a meeting:

  1. Activity
  2. View

The activity based setup is straightforward while using a view requires some additional boilerplate code.

Using Activity​

This will launch a fullscreen view with your meeting.

import com.dyteclientmobile.MeetingConfig
import com.dyteclientmobile.DyteMeeting
import com.dyteclientmobile.DyteMeetingActivity

// Configure meeting parameters
val config = MeetingConfig()
config.setRoomName("<roomName>")
.setAuthToken("<authToken>")

DyteMeeting.setup(config)

// Launch the activity
val meetingIntent = Intent(this, DyteMeetingActivity::class.java)
startActivity(meetingIntent)

Using View​

Using a view allows you more control on how your meeting is rendered, but it comes with setup boilerplate code. The main reason anyone would use a View based initialization is when they want the meeting to be rendered with custom dimensions and not occupy the full screen like the Activity.

import com.dyteclientmobile.MeetingConfig;
import com.dyteclientmobile.DyteMeeting;
import com.dyteMobileSdk.DyteInstanceManager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);
            // Configure meeting parameters
            MeetingConfig config = MeetingConfig();
                config.setRoomName("<roomName>")
                    .setAuthToken("<authToken>");

            DyteMeeting.setup(config);
            View view = DyteMeeting.init(this,width, height);

            // Example
            ViewGroup viewgroup = findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
            viewgroup.add(view);
    }


    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE) {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
                    // SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission not granted
                }
            }
        }
        if (DyteInstanceManager.instance != null) {
            DyteInstanceManager.instance.onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
        }
    }



    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();

        if (DyteInstanceManager.instance != null) {
            DyteInstanceManager.instance.onHostPause(this);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        if (DyteInstanceManager.instance != null) {
            DyteInstanceManager.instance.onHostResume(this, this);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();

        if (DyteInstanceManager.instance != null) {
            DyteInstanceManager.instance.onHostDestroy(this);
        }
        if (DyteInstanceManager.instance != null) {
            DyteInstanceManager.unmountApplication();
        }
    }


    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
        if (DyteInstanceManager.permissionsHandler != null) {
            DyteInstanceManager.permissionsHandler.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        }
    }
