[Android] Porting the live555 library onto Android

This library uses the open standard streaming protocols such as RTP/RTCP/RTSP/SIP. In this article, we will provide a series of steps for explaining how to port the library onto ARM-based Android System.

Before porting the library, you should prepare these resources,
a. Cross-Compiler:  We can get the cross-compiler from Android Developer Website.
b. The LIVE555 source code: Download Site version: 11-Sep-2013
c. Linux Environment is BEST!

Now, we introduce the steps for you.

Step1: Extract the LIVE555 source code in the target directory.

  APP_OPTM := release

  APP_ABI := armeabi armeabi-v7a

  APP_PLATFORM := android-10

  APP_STL := stlport_shared

The content of Android.mk:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS) 

LOCAL_MODULE := live555 

LOCAL_SRC_FILES :=

LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -fPIC -fexceptions -DXLOCALE_NOT_USED=1 -DNULL=0 -DNO_SSTREAM=1 -UIP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY) 

Step3: Start to build the library!
In the directory “live555/“, we should execute the command “ndk-build”. You can add the -j{thread} parameter for the ndk-build to apply the distributed compilation to speed-up the build.

Step4: Got the shared library in the “live555/libs/“. Enjoy it!

Note: LIVE555 native supports iOS phone! SO GOOD!
