How do you impliment sip video in android

I'm a senior in college and my project is to create a video app in android I have the choice of using adobe air (no knowledge) and sip to implement video. What I want to know is what do you request to initiate an instance of sip video in android.

I've never heard of "sip", but I'm confused why you have to create an android app using adobe air?

This is sip "http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/sip.html" but sadly they don't tell me how to implement video, smh there has to be a tutorial out there on how to implement video.

Oh! Are you trying to create some kind of video conferencing application?

yes I am trying to create a video conferencing app for college class in android programming. Do you know how I can do this?

I've never used "Session Initiation Protocol", but my recommendation would be to read through that documentation and check out the SipDemo sample app.

Sounds like an awfully tough assignment. Good luck!

Hey I'm watching your videos now lol, great to hear from you, I will try the demo app you suggested tonight, in my class we got split up into groups to handle different aspects of android programming I chose communication, so my first assignment is video, then text(sms and mms) and then last is audio (because the prof say audio is the easiest so it will be last. But thank you for replying.

I would switch up the order. Go for sms, then audio, then video.

I think that this is a very difficult project for a single developer, especially in high school. Have you made android applications before?

No kidding! It seems weird to start with the hardest. I would definitely go text/audio/video, too.

Glad to see you here supplementing your learning, though! Hope it helps...

in college actually, I'm a senior and its actually a business school Baruch College CUNY. The amount of time and what we have to do, I thought handle the hardest part first then move on to the easier parts. By mid may everyone has to present so by mid may I have to be done. Plus the guys doing gaming seemed way more stressed than me. The way I look at it is handle the tough part, then the easier parts and I'll be done in time for the final app presentation in mid may. I plan to build them all in modules- one for video,one for text(sms and mms), and the last for Audio. Then I'll just link each module to an icon in the app and pow A grade :-). But its proving to be alot of work so I'm trying to find tutorials on the video part,have tutorials on text and audio. Its all tough but I cannot afford to give up not this close to graduation. I'll let you know how my progress goes.

Usually I think it's a good idea to tackle bigger stuff first when you have a deadline. But in this case, the concepts build on each other, so it would make sense to progress linearly from text to audio to video. Getting down the text part should lay the groundwork for the other stuff. Then you could implement audio over that groundwork, and finally video. I think you will find it easier to build in that more natural fashion.

However you choose -- good luck, and if you remember, stop back in here and let us know how it goes! :smile:

ok ok I hear you I start with text then audio and finally video, THank you for responding. I will definitly let you know how it turns out
