Amazon IVS Multi-host for Android Demo

A demo Kotlin Android phone application intended as an educational tool to demonstrate how you can build a real-time collaborative live streaming experience with Amazon IVS.

This project is intended for education purposes only and not for production usage.

Prerequisites

You must have the ApiUrl from the Amazon IVS Multi-host Serverless Demo.

Setup

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the repository in Android Studio, or an IDE of your choice.
3. Open app/build.gradle file and set constants for:
   • Replace <API_URL> with the ApiUrl output from the Amazon IVS Multi-host Serverless Demo. Do NOT remove the escaped quotations \"
   • If you are using Android Studio, the app will ask to sync the project since the gradle file has been changed. Select Sync now to sync.
4. Run the application on an emulated device or a physical device running API level 33 or later.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Joining a stage and streaming in the app will create and consume AWS resources, which will cost money.
