I need to get the mjpeg stream from an IP camera, anyone know the right way do it? I googled a bit and I find this example
http://www.anddev.org/mjpeg_on_android_anyone-t1871.html
but I've been stucked when I tried to get the stream from another activity called by the main activity. Here the code:
Main acitivity
package com.test;
public class IntentTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
ListView myListView = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
myListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView);
final ArrayList<String> items = new ArrayList<String>();
items.add("00408C944B9A");
final ArrayAdapter<String> aa;
aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
items);
myListView.setAdapter(aa);
myListView.setOnItemClickListener(listClicked);
}
private OnItemClickListener listClicked = new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long id) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(IntentTest.this, OtherActivity.class);
i.putExtra("MAC", myListView.getItemAtPosition(position).toString());
startActivity(i);
}
};
}
Second activity
package com.test;
import com.test.mjpeg.mjpegsample.MjpegView.*;
import com.test.parser.JSONParse;
public class OtherActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private MjpegView mv;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null){
String mac = (String)extras.get("MAC");
Log.i("Other", "---->" + mac);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
tv.setText(mac);
String URL = "myurl";
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
mv = new MjpegView(this);
setContentView(mv);
mv.setSource(MjpegInputStream.read(URL));
mv.setDisplayMode(MjpegView.SIZE_BEST_FIT);
mv.showFps(true);
}
}
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mv.stopPlayback();
}
}

I found this code over the internet some time ago, maybe it will be of some help to you.
