WebRTC for Android Developers

WebRTC has existed natively in the browser for many years and it is also the fundamental technology for all type of real-time communication happening on the Internet today. But support for WebRTC for mobile developers have been very limited. You either have to rely on outdated libraries, expensive third-party services, or having to build a lot of solution from scratch yourself. You also needed a fairly intimate understanding of how WebRTC works, both on the client-side as well as in a backend.

In this session we will look at how WebRTC works, what you need to get started, what third-party solutions are available, and how to build your own.

This session is useful for anyone interested in real-time communication for Android apps, from video conferencing to audio-only group chat solutions.

That's not a phone...

It is now 16 years since Android was released to the public, and since then it has become the most used operating system for smartphones. But Android has also been used outside the smartphone area, and often without any involvement from Google and on devices it was not originally designed for.

Let's look at some of the surprising uses of Android throughout its history and the challenges these had. We will end with a look into the future and try to predict what kind new types of devices we can expect Android running on, and what that means for you as an Android developer.
