You can configure an Android app created with the Wowza GoCoder™ SDK to broadcast to a Wowza Streaming Engine™ media server software instance. First create a live application in Wowza Streaming Engine, then use the application and server's connection settings in a WOWZBroadcastConfig object created in the SDK.
Create a live application in Wowza Streaming Engine
- Configure a live application in Wowza Streaming Engine to use an RTMP stream from your SDK app. For instructions, see Set up live streaming using an RTMP-based encoder in Wowza Streaming Engine.

Connect a WOWZBroadcastConfig object to Wowza Streaming Engine.
goCoderBroadcastConfig.setHostAddress = @"192.168.1.120"; goCoderBroadcastConfig.setPortNumber = 1935; goCoderBroadcastConfig.setApplicationName = @"live"; goCoderBroadcastConfig.setStreamName = @"myStream"; goCoderBroadcastConfig.setUsername= @"[username]"; goCoderBroadcastConfig.setPassword = @"[password]";
