# FFmpegKit for Android ### 1. Features - Supports - `API Level 16+` - `arm-v7a`, `arm-v7a-neon`, `arm64-v8a`, `x86` and `x86_64` architectures - `zlib` and `MediaCodec` system libraries - Can handle Storage Access Framework (SAF) uris - Camera access on [supported devices](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/stable_apis#camera) - Builds shared native libraries (.so) - Creates Android archive with .aar extension ### 2. Building Run `android.sh` at project root directory to build `ffmpeg-kit` and `ffmpeg` shared libraries. #### 2.1 Prerequisites `android.sh` requires the following packages and tools. 1. Install Android tools listed below. - **Android SDK Build Tools** - **Android NDK r21e** or later with LLDB and CMake 2. Use your package manager (apt, yum, dnf, brew, etc.) to install the following packages. ``` autoconf automake libtool pkg-config curl cmake gcc gperf texinfo yasm nasm bison autogen git wget autopoint meson ninja ``` 3. Set `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` and `ANDROID_NDK_ROOT` environment variables. ``` export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT= export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT= ``` 4. `android.sh` needs network connectivity and internet access to `github.com` in order to download the source code of all libraries except `ffmpeg-kit`. #### 2.2 Options Use `--enable-` flags to support additional external or system libraries and `--disable-` to disable architectures you don't want to build. ``` ./android.sh --enable-fontconfig --disable-arm-v7a-neon ``` Run `--help` to see all available build options. #### 2.3 LTS Binaries Use `--lts` option to build lts binaries for each architecture. #### 2.4 Build Output All libraries created by `android.sh` can be found under the `prebuilt` directory. - `Android` archive (.aar file) for `Main` builds is located under the `bundle-android-aar` folder. - `Android` archive (.aar file) for `LTS` builds is located under the `bundle-android-aar-lts` folder. ### 3. Using #### 3.1 Android API 1. Declare `mavenCentral` repository and add `FFmpegKit` dependency to your `build.gradle` in `ffmpeg-kit-` pattern. Use one of the `FFmpegKit` package names given in the project [README](https://github.com/tanersener/ffmpeg-kit). ``` repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { implementation 'com.arthenica:ffmpeg-kit-full:4.4.LTS' } ``` 2. Execute synchronous FFmpeg commands. ``` import com.arthenica.ffmpegkit.FFmpegKit; import com.arthenica.ffmpegkit.ReturnCode; FFmpegSession session = FFmpegKit.execute("-i file1.mp4 -c:v mpeg4 file2.mp4"); if (ReturnCode.isSuccess(session.getReturnCode())) { // SUCCESS } else if (ReturnCode.isCancel(session.getReturnCode())) { // CANCEL } else { // FAILURE Log.d(TAG, String.format("Command failed with state %s and rc %s.%s", session.getState(), session.getReturnCode(), session.getFailStackTrace())); } ``` 3. Execute asynchronous FFmpeg commands by providing session specific execute/log/session callbacks. ``` FFmpegKit.executeAsync("-i file1.mp4 -c:v mpeg4 file2.mp4", new ExecuteCallback() { @Override public void apply(Session session) { SessionState state = session.getState(); ReturnCode returnCode = session.getReturnCode(); // CALLED WHEN SESSION IS EXECUTED Log.d(TAG, String.format("FFmpeg process exited with state %s and rc %s.%s", state, returnCode, session.getFailStackTrace())); } }, new LogCallback() { @Override public void apply(com.arthenica.ffmpegkit.Log log) { // CALLED WHEN SESSION PRINTS LOGS } }, new StatisticsCallback() { @Override public void apply(Statistics statistics) { // CALLED WHEN SESSION GENERATES STATISTICS } }); ``` 4. Execute synchronous FFprobe commands. ``` FFprobeSession session = FFprobeKit.execute(ffprobeCommand); if (!ReturnCode.isSuccess(session.getReturnCode())) { Log.d(TAG, "Command failed. Please check output for the details."); } ``` 5. Get session output. ``` Session session = FFmpegKit.execute("-i file1.mp4 -c:v mpeg4 file2.mp4"); Log.d(TAG, session.getOutput()); ``` 6. Stop ongoing FFmpeg operations. - Stop all executions ``` FFmpegKit.cancel(); ``` - Stop a specific session ``` FFmpegKit.cancel(sessionId); ``` 7. Get media information for a file. ``` MediaInformationSession mediaInformation = FFprobeKit.getMediaInformation(""); mediaInformation.getMediaInformation(); ``` 8. List previous FFmpeg sessions. ``` List ffmpegSessions = FFmpegKit.listSessions(); for (int i = 0; i < ffmpegSessions.size(); i++) { FFmpegSession session = ffmpegSessions.get(i); Log.d(TAG, String.format("Session %d = id:%d, startTime:%s, duration:%s, state:%s, returnCode:%s.", i, session.getSessionId(), session.getStartTime(), session.getDuration(), session.getState(), session.getReturnCode())); } ``` ### 4. Test Application You can see how `FFmpegKit` is used inside an application by running test applications developed under the [FFmpegKit Test](https://github.com/tanersener/ffmpeg-kit-test) project.
