ti-android-streamer

Android Media Streamer Module for Titantium.

This module can be built and used in a project to support MP3, AAC and AAC+ local and remote audio streams. It has been developed to mainly to provide AAC support for the Titanium SDK what is only currently support on iOS.

Below is an outline of the main methods used in the module. A more comprehensive example can be found in example/app.js

Require the Audio Streamer module

Firstly, require the module into the controller

var streamer = require('com.woohoo.androidaudiostreamer');

Play a stream

In this example we are using a shoutcast AAC stream.

streamer.play('http://209.85.88.199:8080'); // this is an AAC stream http://198.144.148.12:9002/

Listen to a change in the stream status

    streamer.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
        switch (e.status) {
        case 0 :
            status = 'STOPPED';
            break;
        case 1 :
            status = 'BUFFERING/CONNECTING';
            break;
        case 2 :
            status = 'PLAYING';
            break;
        case 3 :
            status = 'STREAM CONNECTION ERROR';
            break;
        }

        // Output the status to the console log
        Ti.API.log(status);
    });

Get stream metadata

    streamer.addEventListener('metadata', function(e) {
        Ti.API.log(e.title);
        Ti.API.log(e.url);
        Ti.API.log(e.genre);
    }); 

Stop a stream currently playing

streamer.stop();

Stream volume control

Create some variables for the volume currentVolume - get the volume level that the device is currently set at maxVolume - get the maximum volume for the device (different Android devices have different maximum volume levels)

var currentVolume = 5;
var maxVolume = streamer.getMaxVolume();

You could use the getCurrentVolume() method to return the device's currently set volume streamer.getCurrentVolume()

Then set the volume streamer.volume(volume); The volume() method take a Number parameter from 0 to 10, where 10 is the maximum volume level

Retrieve more stream metadata

• getMetaTitle() retrieves the current song or the stream title/description if this is not available
• getMetaGenre() retrieves the stream genre
• getMetaUrl() retrieves the URL of the stream
