This topic describes how to update Push SDK for Android from V4.0.2 to V4.1.0 or later.

Prerequisites

The latest version of the Push SDK is downloaded.

For information about the new versions of Push SDK, see SDK download and release notes.

Procedure

Remove the class libraries and resource files of Push SDK V4.0.2 from your project. Then, add the class libraries and resource files of Push SDK V4.1.0 or later to your project.

  1. In the libs directory, use the AlivcLivePusher.aar file of Push SDK V4.1.0 or later to replace the AliLiveSdk.aar file of Push SDK V4.0.2.
  2. Update ApsaraVideo Player SDK to the latest version in the build.gradle file.
    Note For the latest version of ApsaraVideo Player SDK for Android, see Release notes of ApsaraVideo Player SDK for Android.

    Take the 2021-08 release of the ApsaraVideo Player SDK for Android for example. Update the file with the following information: 

    implementation 'com.aliyun.sdk.android:AliyunPlayer:5.4.2.0-full'
implementation 'com.aliyun.sdk.android:AlivcArtc:5.4.2.0'
  3. If you want to implement the smart retouching feature in your app, add the beauty, beautyui, imageutil, and queenbeauty model files in the demo to facilitate the integration of the Queen SDK and UI.
  4. Modify specific methods, as described in the Key methods section of this topic.
  5. Modify specific methods for the major process, as described in the Changes in the methods for major process section of this topic.

Key methods

  • Basic methods
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later Description
    getSdkVersion getSdkVersion Queries the version of Push SDK.
    create init Creates a stream ingest object.
    destroy destory Destroys the stream ingest object.
    setStatusCallback setLivePushInfoListener Sets the callback for the stream ingest status.
    setNetworkCallback setLivePushNetworkListener Sets the callback for the network status during stream ingest.
    setLogDirPath setLogDirPath Sets the path for storing the log files of Push SDK.

    To prevent log loss, you must call this method before other methods. In addition, make sure that the specified path exists and is writable.

    setLogLevel setLogLevel Sets the log level.
  • Basic stream ingest methods
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later Description
    startPreview startPreview Starts the preview. This method is called on the streamer side.
    stopPreview stopPreview Stops the preview. This method is called on the streamer side.
    pausePush pause Stops the camera from collecting live streams and ingests standby streams. This method is supported only for stream ingest over RTMP. You must call the startPush method before the pausePush method to prevent an invalid call order.
    resumePush resume() Enables the camera to collect live streams again and stops ingesting standby streams. This method is supported only for stream ingest over RTMP. You must call the pausePush method before the resumePush method to prevent an invalid call order.
    startPush startPush Starts to ingest streams.
    stopPush stopPush Stops ingesting streams.
    isPublishing isPublishing Queries whether streams are being ingested.
    getPublishUrl getPushUrl Queries the current ingest URL.
  • Video-related methods
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later Description
    setPreviewMode setPreviewMode Sets the preview mode.
    isAudioOnly isAudioOnly Queries whether the ingested streams are audio-only streams.
    switchCamera switchCamera Switches between the front and the rear cameras.
    setCameraZoom setCameraZoom Sets the zoom factor of the camera and specifies whether to enable the flash.
    isCameraExposurePointSupported setExposureCompensation Queries whether an exposure point can be set for the camera.
    setCameraFocusPoint setLiveCameraFocus Sets the focus point of the camera.
  • Audio-related methods
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later Description
    setMute setMute Specifies whether the frames collected from the local audio are mute frames.
    isAudioOnly isAudioOnly Queries whether the ingested streams are audio-only streams.
    enableEarBack setBGMEarsBack Enables in-ear monitoring. To prevent echoes, we recommend that you enable in-ear monitoring after you insert the headset.
    playBGM startBGMAsync Plays background music.
    stopBGM stopBGM Stops playing background music.
    pauseBGM pauseBGM Pauses the playback of background music.
    resumeBGM resumeBGM Resumes the playback of background music.
    setBGMVolume setBGMVolume Sets the volume of background music.

Changes in the methods for major process

  1. Create an engine.
    AliLiveEngine in V4.0.2 AlivcLivePusher in V4.1.0 and later 
    // Create an AliLiveRTMPConfig object.
AliLiveRTMPConfig rtmpConfig = new AliLiveRTMPConfig();
// Initialize the bitrate settings.
rtmpConfig.videoInitBitrate = 1000;
rtmpConfig.videoTargetBitrate = 1500;
rtmpConfig.videoMinBitrate = 600;
// Create an AliLiveConfig object.
AliLiveConfig mAliLiveConfig = new AliLiveConfig(rtmpConfig);
// Initialize the resolution and frame rate, specify whether to enable high-definition preview, and specify the default image to be displayed after a pause.
mAliLiveConfig.videoFPS = 20;
mAliLiveConfig.videoPushProfile = AliLiveConstants.AliLiveVideoPushProfile.AliLiveVideoProfile_540P;
mAliLiveConfig.enableHighDefPreview = false;
mAliLiveConfig.pauseImage = bitmap;
mAliLiveConfig.accountId = "";
AliLiveEngine mAliLiveEngine = AliLiveEngine.create(PushActivity.this, mAliLiveConfig);
    		 
    // Initialize the stream ingest configurations.
AlivcLivePushConfig mAlivcLivePushConfig = new AlivcLivePushConfig();
// Initialize the resolution. The default resolution is 540p. The supported maximum resolution is 720p.
mAlivcLivePushConfig.setResolution(AlivcResolutionEnum.RESOLUTION_540P);
// Initialize the frame rate. We recommend that you set the frame rate to 20 frames per seconds (FPS).
mAlivcLivePushConfig.setFps(AlivcFpsEnum.FPS_20); 
// Enable adaptive bitrate streaming. The default value is true.
mAlivcLivePushConfig.setEnableBitrateControl(true); 
// By default, the preview is in portrait mode. You can change the mode to landscape left or landscape right. 
mAlivcLivePushConfig.setPreviewOrientation(AlivcPreviewOrientationEnum.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT); 
// Set the audio encoding format.
mAlivcLivePushConfig.setAudioProfile(AlivcAudioAACProfileEnum.AlivcAudioAACProfileEnum.AAC_LC);
AlivcLivePusher mAlivcLivePusher = new AlivcLivePusher();mAlivcLivePusher.init(mContext, mAlivcLivePushConfig);
  2. Create a preview.
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later 
    // Create a preview view.
AliLiveRenderView mAliLiveRenderView = mAliLiveEngine.createRenderView(false);
// Add the preview view to the layout.
addSubView(mAliLiveRenderView);
// Set the preview mode.
mAliLiveEngine.setPreviewMode(AliLiveRenderModeAuto, AliLiveRenderMirrorModeOnlyFront);
// Start the preview.
mAliLiveEngine.startPreview(mAliLiveRenderView);
    		 You can start the preview after you initialize the livePusher object. Use the mSurfaceView parameter for camera previews. The following code provides an example:
    // Start the preview. You can also call the asynchronous method startPreviewAysnc based on your needs to start the preview.
mAlivcLivePusher.startPreview(mSurfaceView)
  3. Start to ingest streams.
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later 
    mAliLiveEngine.startPush(mPushUrl);
    		 
    mAlivcLivePusher.startPush(mPushUrl);
  4. Stop ingesting streams.
    V4.0.2 V4.1.0 and later 
    // Stop the preview.
mAliLiveEngine.stopPreview();
// Stop ingesting streams.
mAliLiveEngine.stopPush();
// Destroy the AliLiveEngine object.
mAliLiveEngine.destroy();
mAliLiveEngine = null;
    		 
    // Stop the preview.
mAliLivePusher.stopPreview();
// Stop ingesting streams.
mAliLivePusher.stopPush();
// Destroy the AliLivePusher object.
mAliLivePusher.destroy();
mAliLivePusher = null;
