Introducing Oboe for building audio apps on Android

[@WaleedAlSuwaimel]

One of the coolest T-shirts I've seen in quite a while! 😄👌

[@IgorZinken]

I'd like to start by stating that I'm not knocking Oboe, as any audio solution on Android should be championed (and granted, its API is very nice!). However, as a developer who has written Android specific audio libraries for over 5+ years I feel it should be stressed that Oboe's underlying audio drivers (OpenSL and Aaudio) are what makes low latency results possible, and that Oboe merely provides an abstraction layer to get working with audio, without dealing with these drivers directly. Once more, that is nothing but commendable as there are many ways to reach a specific goal. I do however like to stress that there are, and have been, plenty of other (open source!) solutions that offer the same. Developers are spoilt for choice in that they can choose a framework of their liking, luxurious times indeed!

Igor Zinken is an small installation pack made to install this Oboe low latency to our smartphones ? like we do in ASIO4ALL on pc ?

[@AnuragBaghail]

Hi Igor, Asking for help :) Can you please tell how can I store sound bits in array? Using oboe I can only connect the input and output stream. As of now I can't perform any intermediate action on input and then pass it to output.

[@HitroLab]

We will try Oboe in our AudioLab app

[@sridharshanmugam4088]

I'm working in the WebRTC based Android application in which I have to monitor the audio level of both publisher and the subscribers involved in the audio-video conference. So I need a help from any of you to write the C++ code either using Oboe to read the audio input level.

[@MikeDownes]

thanks Don and team, def my video of the day .. \o/ ..

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

Why would you guys put the tutorial on github and not your Android developers website? Trivial problem but just seems strange to me.

[@yucao1573]

Thanks for the friendly Chinese subtitles!!

[@shreyaswaghmare7690]

What is the difference between Aaudio, Oboe and Superpowered?

[@Salehalanazi-7]

That's a really great channel avatar, well done designer!!

[@qrispy6625]

Ears and Content matches!

[@saisripurella4837]

my android device is not connecting to computer through usb how can i fix it? i tried some methods like RESET ,CHANGING CABLES, ENABLING USB DEBUGING. But anything never gave me solution CAN YOU HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE?

[@lifeforce3451]

Any support for visual studio cross programming ?

[@thenone339]

am i able to use this library if i am programming in java ??

[@IgorZinken]

It is possible to use C++ libraries that run outside of the Java world (providing fast, low latency results), but still control them through the comforts of the high level Java programming language. You do need to set this (build) process up, libraries such as MWEngine (GitHub) do this out of the box.

[@ahmedmamdouh8764]

About time !

[@rohovdmytro]

Can I use Oboe in a Flutter app?..

[@gofudgeyourselves9024]

can it be used with exoplayer?

[@gofudgeyourselves9024]

do I need to know C++ to use it?

[@KPoWasTaken]

Does this support android pie?

[@TriWahyu45]

2018 ?

[@EliceaLLiEx]

Interesting

[@Y2Kvids]

Oh boy!

[@IngrownMink4]

very interesting 👍🏻

[@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy]

5 years after this video, not a single useful (professional) synth is available to Android (unlike iOS which has TONS of useful synths and iPad is a king of music producing - sadly).

[@anshulsharma3137]

Release it as grade too naa plzz

[@lamine1998]

Very good

[@DesmondDaCyborg]

stay cool brotha

[@PratikButani]

Awesome :) 👍

[@facullampa4080]

is there anything similar for androidStudio?

[@ther701]

Android Studio

[@PatrickJonas]

For all to #share

[@gofudgeyourselves9024]

I am beginning my programming journey. I have noticed almost all libraries created in C++, why not java or kotlin. why even use C++ in 2018 when u have so many good and better languages available?

[@mijaelviricocheaparra7474]

So many languages? Yes, but not better, C++ is the native language of Android, Oboe as many Android libraries, is made in C++ because it is efficient in latency and memory management.

[@MartinWesleylive]

Go Fudge YourSelves c++ provides low latency

[@q8jaz0]

You can write in Java or Kotlin, but if you want anything low-latency or high-performant, most of the times, you have no option but to use C++. Google was forcing people to drop C++ on Android, but eventually they seem to gave up. Since this Oboe library is specifically made for low latency applications, it only makes sence to use with C++.

[@IgorZinken]

C++ is actively maintained and you'll find that most of your favourite applications (like your OS) are written in C/C++. The ease of Java/Kotlin is not to be dismissed as they are both great languages to program in, however they run in a VM. The compilation targets of C languages imply that the program runs closer to the hardware than any VM language can. It comes as the expense of higher programming overhead (such as manual memory management), but should not be dismissed. Also realise that the highest performing Java/Kotlin classes are leveraging native API's!

[@MrRightThinker]

Go Fudge YourSelves c, c++ ,c# are the languages which will never go outdated . even the ARTIFICIAL satellites are Programed in C++ and assembly .

[@JayaKrishna_FLM]

Wow cool

[@hendrysmith7139]

🤞 wow
