README

Prerequisites:

  • git
  • QT framework (any version above 4.2 should work) Only for unit testing(developers):
  • google mock framework: http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/

Build instructions:

  • Checkout project -- git clone git://github.com/marcogulino/AndroidUsbCamera.git OR -- git clone http://github.com/marcogulino/AndroidUsbCamera.git

  • create a build directory (can be in any place, let's assume it's in AndroidUsbCamera/build): -- cd AndroidUsbCamera; mkdir build

  • configure the project with cmake: -- cd build; cmake ../

  • build the project: -- make Optional:

  • Run the tests (build only if CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is debug): -- make test (or just type ctest)

to have a better output with failing tests, setting the environment variable:

  • CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1 can greatly help.

Usage:

  • first of all, start USB Webcamera application on your phone

  • forward tcp connections with adb: -- adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

  • Load vloopback module (sources and instructions: http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice) -- modprobe vloopback

  • Find the video output device -- dmesg | grep vloopback -- look for a string like "[vloopback_init] : Loopback 0 registered, input: video0, output: video1 -- in this case, /dev/video0 is your video output device

  • load AndroidUsbCamera application: -- AndroidUsbCamera /dev/video0
