LiveKit (Android)

Nativeblocks provides hot-reloading and screen-sharing tools for developers

LiveKit is a powerful debugging and screen-sharing and hot-reloading utility for Android applications.

Get started

Make sure that your project meets these requirements:

• Uses Android API level 26 or higher
• Uses Jetpack (AndroidX)
• Initialized Nativeblocks Core SDK

Add LiveKit to your gradle app module

dependencies {
    implementation("io.nativeblocks:nativeblocks-wandkit-android:1.0.0")
}

Let's get started by initializing the SDK, it can be inside of the onCreate's Activity or provide via dependency injection, but make sure liveKit calls after the Nativeblocks initialize

NativeblocksManager.getInstance().liveKit(
    screenSharing = true, // Enables screen sharing feature
    keepScreenOn = true, // Keeps the screen on during debugging
)

Debug builds config

Ensure LiveKit is only used in debug builds by wrapping the code with BuildConfig.DEBUG:

NativeblocksManager.getInstance().liveKit(
    screenSharing = true, // Enables screen sharing feature
    keepScreenOn = true, // Keeps the screen on during debugging
)

Here is an example of how to integrate LiveKit in an Android app:

package io.nativeblocks.sampleapp

import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity
import io.nativeblocks.wandkit.LiveKit

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        NativeblocksManager.initialize(
            ...
        )

        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            NativeblocksManager.getInstance().liveKit(screenSharing = true, keepScreenOn = true)
        }
        ...
    }
}
