Jitsi Meet Plugin for Android

This plugin uses the Jitsi SDK for android. See the plugin changelog for the list of corresponding SDKs used.

Usage

1. npm install capacitor-jitsi-meet, then use it as a Capacitor Plugin

import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
import 'capacitor-jitsi-meet';

const { Jitsi } = Plugins;
const result: any = await Jitsi.joinConference({
   roomName: 'room1', // room identifier for the conference
   url: 'https://meet.jit.si' // endpoint of the Jitsi Meet video bridge
   token: string; // jwt authentication token
   displayName: string; // user's display name
   email: string; // user's email
   avatarURL: string; // user's avatar url
   channelLastN: string; // last N participants allowed to join
   startWithAudioMuted: true, // start with audio muted
   startWithVideoMuted: false // start with video muted
   chatEnabled: false, // enable Chat feature
   inviteEnabled: false // enable Invitation feature
   callIntegrationEnabled: true // enable call integration (CallKit on iOS, ConnectionService on Android)
});
console.log("join status": result.success);

window.addEventListener('onConferenceJoined', () => {
    // do things here
});
window.addEventListener('onConferenceLeft', () => {
    // do things here
});

const result: any = await Jitsi.leaveConference();
console.log("leave status": result.success);

2. npx cap sync

3. In your android/build.gradle, add the Maven repository

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-maven-repository/raw/master/releases"
        }
    }
}

4. In your android/app/build.gradle file, add Java 1.8 compatibility support

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    ...

Also, replace the line implementation 'ionic-team:capacitor-android:1+' with:

dependencies {
    // (other dependencies)
    implementation project(':capacitor-android')
}

5. Register the plugin in your main Activity

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;
import com.getcapacitor.Plugin;
import com.capacitor.jitsi.plugin.Jitsi; // import Jitsi

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Initializes the Bridge
    this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
      // Additional plugins you've installed go here
      add(Jitsi.class); // register the Jitsi Plugin here
    }});
  }
}

6. For 2.0+, follow the Ionic doc to create common variables.

Create a android/variables.gradle file with this content

ext {
  minSdkVersion = 21
  compileSdkVersion = 29
  targetSdkVersion = 29
  androidxAppCompatVersion = '1.1.0'
  androidxCoreVersion =  '1.2.0'
  androidxMaterialVersion =  '1.1.0-rc02'
  androidxBrowserVersion =  '1.2.0'
  androidxLocalbroadcastmanagerVersion =  '1.0.0'
  firebaseMessagingVersion =  '20.1.2'
  playServicesLocationVersion =  '17.0.0'
  junitVersion =  '4.12'
  androidxJunitVersion =  '1.1.1'
  androidxEspressoCoreVersion =  '3.2.0'
  cordovaAndroidVersion =  '7.0.0'
}

In android/build.gradle file, add apply from: "variables.gradle" as shown here.

7. Build it in Android Studio

8. If upgrading from previous versions of this plugin you may receive this error: Error: Unfortunately you can't have non-Gradle Java modules and > Android-Gradle modules in one project. Follow these steps to resolve it:
