B4J Question Peer to peer video chat with file transfer

[William Hunter]

I have had a yen, for the longest time, to create a peer to peer video chat app with file transfer in B4A. As I understand it, this is not possible because there is no API for it. Question - Is it possible to create such an app in B4J?

Best regards

Theoretically it is possible. You can use the jNetwork library to create a TCP or UDP communication. Practically it will be very difficult to handle the video.

Thank you Erel. I will put this aside until a fellow forum member possessing greater programming skills than mine leads the way. Any takers?

I think this is a start, however it is costly and would require a library conversion.

Thank you for the suggestion giga. There is also a project called Open Peer that could be of interest to those looking to create such an app in Android or iOS. Open Peer is an open P2P signalling protocol that can be freely used by anyone.

This is an Eclipse project. A competent Eclipse programmer may find this to be helpful if they are interested in developing a peer to peer video chat app with file transfer in B4A or B4i. Eclipse and I don't dance well together, so much of this is beyond my skill level.
