README

This repo is a simple test case for anyone to use - as is - to check JavaScript WebRTC / Camera access via getUserMedia inside a WebView in an Android application. The Application - as default - views another test application I have hosted on GitHub pages:(https://github.com/marcusbelcher/wasm-asm-camera-webgl-test).

The key learnings from this is that you make sure you:

• Have the hardware permissions inside of the AndroidManifiest.xml
• Get runtime permission acceptance
• Handle the Chrome WebView permissions at runtime
• Use the WebRTC adapter.js
• Serve any websites with HTTPS, and if inside of an iframe make sure you allow camera access.

Build

• Checkout this repo
• Open with Android Studio 3.0.1
• Connect an actual device (couldnt get it working in an emulator)
• Build to actual device
• Enable permissions
• Run app

Issues encountered

• Java Versions: API 21, Androud Studio 3+, WebRTC dependency requires Graddle build settings to have the following to allow API level 21 to 26.
  compileOptions { targetCompatibility 1.8 sourceCompatibility 1.8 }
• WebRTC / getUserMedia access: Min API version of 21, this is for runtime onPermissionRequest
