Android Question Make a video call in background

[youjunjer]

I have a project to help Emergency Medical Technician for connecting to the hospital.
When EMT do the operation, he make a voice and video call to center on android to get some advices from doctors.
After operation, this video and voice will be recorded on the server become
evidence.
But voice call is only one part of this app, we provide operation brife, location, gis, navigation, and some other features.
So this function will run at background, it can't be skype or facebook that app will take control of phone.
But if skype facebook facetime open some api or sdk for making call in background will be fine for this project.
Anyone has good ideas?

Dear MacroRome
Thx for your reply.
I read your suggest. it's very helpful
But my project want to make a video call at background. If my app make a skype intent, skype will take over the phone.
So, may I comnbine skype to my app? such as I open a panel in my app for skype?

You can use THIS ( Video conference by @thedesolatesoul also in a Panel )

In you App add this code ( in Activity_Create example )

 Dim videofeedcount As String = DateTime.Now
    Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "https://nameless-wildwood-15071.herokuapp.com/r/58679796")

It works?
I thought it might work but I never tried it. It's a technology which is getting more popular.

Cannot do it now - I'm in the office now - but will try this evening.

I guess the ideal solution for WebRTC is to set up your own server so one does not depend on other sites.

This would be the best solution
https://easyrtc.com/
or is possible buy server already connect ( https://xirsys.com/ ) example:

 

[youjunjer]

I will try later
Thank everyone.

In fact that URL is one of the signalling servers I set up. It´s just code that I´ve copied and obviously I´m more than happy to have contributed with something - with or without my knowledge
I can´t guarantee though that it´ll stay there forever, but I´d be very willing to help out with guidance to how you can set this stuff up for yourself on a free heroku account. It did take a while for me, since I had no clue about what node.js is. There are some limitations on free accounts, and I´m not gonna use heroku forever but it´s a good place to be for testing things.
I would however never use that link for something as important as what we´re talking about here - it could be a matter of life and death, and that´s definately not what herokus free service is for.
Again, give me a shout if you need direction.. I´ve been struggling with webrtc the last month and may know the answers to some of the questions you´ll come up with.

Finally, I take WebRTC as solution. But record function cannot be provided.
