Wowza Community

Text chat application on Android.

I am developing the mobile version of a flash based application. The app uses Wowza Media Server for various things, including live text/video/audio chat. On the mobile side of things, we are just using the text chat. I am trying to figure out how to interface with the server, but can’t find many resources on the Android side of things. Is it possible to do this?

In recent version of Android you can use Flash 10.1

I don’t think that kind of app is possible using Wowza server and Android client without Flash. You can do rtsp live or vod streaming, but text chat with Wowza… I’m not sure how.

You could use HTTProvider to interface with Wowza, not sure how practical it would be to do chat using Wowza that way. You might as well use something more traditional like a php or asp page and a database.

So there is no way to implement this without flash? We are looking for compatibility on most of the Android versions. 1.5 and 1.6 currently still have many users.
