IRtcEngineEventHandler

The SDK uses the IRtcEngineEventHandler interface to send event notifications to your app. Your app can get those notifications through methods that inherit this interface.

All methods in this interface have default (empty) implementation. You can choose to inherit events related to your app scenario.

Attention:
  • In the callbacks, avoid implementing time-consuming tasks or calling APIs that may cause thread blocking (such as sendMessage). Otherwise, the SDK may not work properly.
  • The SDK no longer catches exceptions in the code logic that developers implement themselves in IRtcEngineEventHandler class. You need to handle this exception yourself, otherwise the app may crash when the exception occurs.

onActiveSpeaker

Occurs when the most active remote speaker is detected.

virtual void onActiveSpeaker(uid_t userId) { (void)userId; }

After a successful call of enableAudioVolumeIndication, the SDK continuously detects which remote user has the loudest volume. During the current period, the remote user whose volume is detected as the loudest for the most times, is the most active user.

When the number of users is no less than two and an active remote speaker exists, the SDK triggers this callback and reports the uid of the most active remote speaker.
  • If the most active remote speaker is always the same user, the SDK triggers the onActiveSpeaker callback only once.
  • If the most active remote speaker changes to another user, the SDK triggers this callback again and reports the uid of the new active remote speaker.

Parameters

userId
The user ID of the most active speaker.

onAudioDeviceStateChanged

Occurs when the audio device state changes.

virtual void onAudioDeviceStateChanged(const char* deviceId,
     int deviceType,
     int deviceState) {
     (void)deviceId;
     (void)deviceType;
     (void)deviceState;
     }

This callback notifies the application that the system's audio device state is changed. For example, a headset is unplugged from the device.

Note: This method is for Windows and macOS only.

Parameters

deviceId
The device ID.
deviceType
The device type. See MEDIA_DEVICE_TYPE.
deviceState

onAudioVolumeIndication

Reports the volume information of users.

virtual void onAudioVolumeIndication(const AudioVolumeInfo* speakers,
    unsigned int speakerNumber,
    int totalVolume) {
    (void)speakers;
    (void)speakerNumber;
    (void)totalVolume;
    }

By default, this callback is disabled. You can enable it by calling enableAudioVolumeIndication. Once this callback is enabled and users send streams in the channel, the SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback according to the time interval set in enableAudioVolumeIndication. The SDK triggers two independent onAudioVolumeIndication callbacks simultaneously, which separately report the volume information of the local user who sends a stream and the remote users (up to three) whose instantaneous volume is the highest.

Attention:

Once this callback is enabled, if the local user calls the muteLocalAudioStream method to mute, the SDK continues to report the volume indication of the local user.

If a remote user whose volume is one of the three highest in the channel stops publishing the audio stream for 20 seconds, the callback excludes this user's information; if all remote users stop publishing audio streams for 20 seconds, the SDK stops triggering the callback for remote users.

Parameters

speakers
The volume information of the users. See AudioVolumeInfo. An empty speakers array in the callback indicates that no remote user is in the channel or is sending a stream.
speakerNumber
The total number of users.
  • In the callback for the local user, if the local user is sending streams, the value of speakerNumber is 1.
  • In the callback for remote users, the value range of speakerNumber is [0,3]. If the number of remote users who send streams is greater than or equal to three, the value of speakerNumber is 3.
totalVolume
The volume of the speaker. The value range is [0,255].
  • In the callback for the local user, totalVolume is the volume of the local user who sends a stream.
  • In the callback for remote users, totalVolume is the sum of the volume of all remote users (up to three) whose instantaneous volume is the highest. If the user calls startAudioMixing [2/2], then totalVolume is the volume after audio mixing.

The reason for a user role switch failure. See CLIENT_ROLE_CHANGE_FAILED_REASON.
currentRole
Current user role. See CLIENT_ROLE_TYPE.

onConnectionInterrupted

Occurs when the connection between the SDK and the server is interrupted.

virtual void onConnectionInterrupted() {}
Deprecated:
Use onConnectionStateChanged instead.
The SDK triggers this callback when it loses connection with the server for more than four seconds after the connection is established. After triggering this callback, the SDK tries to reconnect to the server. You can use this callback to implement pop-up reminders. The differences between this callback and onConnectionLost are as follow:
  • The SDK triggers the onConnectionInterrupted callback when it loses connection with the server for more than four seconds after it successfully joins the channel.
  • The SDK triggers the onConnectionLost callback when it loses connection with the server for more than 10 seconds, whether or not it joins the channel.
If the SDK fails to rejoin the channel 20 minutes after being disconnected from Agora's edge server, the SDK stops rejoining the channel.

onConnectionLost

Occurs when the SDK cannot reconnect to Agora's edge server 10 seconds after its connection to the server is interrupted.

virtual void onConnectionLost()

The SDK triggers this callback when it cannot connect to the server 10 seconds after calling the joinChannel [2/2] method, regardless of whether it is in the channel. If the SDK fails to rejoin the channel 20 minutes after being disconnected from Agora's edge server, the SDK stops rejoining the channel.

onConnectionStateChanged

Occurs when the network connection state changes.

virtual void onConnectionStateChanged(CONNECTION_STATE_TYPE state, CONNECTION_CHANGED_REASON_TYPE reason) {
     (void)state;
     (void)reason;
     }

When the network connection state changes, the SDK triggers this callback and reports the current connection state and the reason for the change.

Parameters

state

The current connection state. See CONNECTION_STATE_TYPE.

reason

The reason for a connection state change. See CONNECTION_CHANGED_REASON_TYPE.

onEncryptionError

Reports the built-in encryption errors.

virtual void onEncryptionError(ENCRYPTION_ERROR_TYPE errorType) {

Details about the error type. See ENCRYPTION_ERROR_TYPE.

onError

Reports an error during SDK runtime.

virtual void onError(int err, const char* msg) {
    (void)err;
    (void)msg;
  }

This callback indicates that an error (concerning network or media) occurs during SDK runtime. In most cases, the SDK cannot fix the issue and resume running. The SDK requires the application to take action or informs the user about the issue.

Parameters

err
Error code. See ERROR_CODE_TYPE.
msg
The error message.

onExtensionError

Occurs when the extension runs incorrectly.

virtual void onExtensionError(const char* provider, const char* extension, int error, const char* message) {
    (void)provider;
    (void)extension;

                (void) imageWidth;
                (void) imageHeight;
                (void) vecRectangle;
                (void) vecDistance;
                (void) numFaces;
                }
Once you enable face detection by calling enableFaceDetection(true), you can get the following information on the local user in real-time:
  • The width and height of the local video.
  • The position of the human face in the local view.
  • The distance between the human face and the screen.

This value is based on the fitting calculation of the local video size and the position of the human face.

Attention:
  • This callback is for Android and iOS only.
  • When it is detected that the face in front of the camera disappears, the callback will be triggered immediately. When no human face is detected, the frequency of this callback to be triggered wil be decreased to reduce power consumption on the local device.
  • The SDK stops triggering this callback when a human face is in close proximity to the screen.
  • On Android, the value of distance reported in this callback may be slightly different from the actual distance. Therefore, Agora does not recommend using it for accurate calculation.

Parameters

imageWidth
The width (px) of the video image captured by the local camera.
imageHeight
The height (px) of the video image captured by the local camera.
vecRectangle
An array of numFaces, representing the detected face information:
  • x: The x-coordinate (px) of the human face in the local view. Taking the top left corner of the view as the origin, the x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of the human face relative to the origin.
  • y: The y-coordinate (px) of the human face in the local view. Taking the top left corner of the view as the origin, the y-coordinate represents the vertical position of the human face relative to the origin.
  • width: The width (px) of the human face in the captured view.
  • height: The height (px) of the human face in the captured view.
vecDistance
An array of numFaces, representing the distance (cm) between a face and the device screen.
numFaces
The number of faces detected. If the value is 0, it means that no human face is detected.

  • The app switches to the background, and the system gets the camera resource.
  • If your app runs in the background on a device running Android 9 or later, you cannot access the camera.
  • If your app runs in the background on a device running Android 6 or later, the camera is occupied by a third-party app. Once the camera is released, the SDK triggers the onLocalVideoStateChanged(LOCAL_VIDEO_STREAM_STATE_CAPTURING,LOCAL_VIDEO_STREAM_ERROR_OK) callback.
  • The camera starts normally, but does not output video frames for four consecutive seconds.

When the camera outputs the captured video frames, if the video frames are the same for 15 consecutive frames, the SDK triggers the onLocalVideoStateChanged callback with the state code of LOCAL_VIDEO_STREAM_STATE_CAPTURING and error code of LOCAL_VIDEO_STREAM_ERROR_CAPTURE_FAILURE. Note that the video frame duplication detection is only available for video frames with a resolution greater than 200 Ă— 200, a frame rate greater than or equal to 10 fps, and a bitrate less than 20 Kbps.

Attention: For some device models, the SDK does not trigger this callback when the state of the local video changes while the local video capturing device is in use, so you have to make your own timeout judgment.

Parameters

source
The type of the video source. See VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE.
state

The state of the local video, see LOCAL_VIDEO_STREAM_STATE.

error

The detailed error information, see LOCAL_VIDEO_STREAM_ERROR.

onLocalVideoStats

Reports the statistics of the local video stream.

virtual void onLocalVideoStats(VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE source, const LocalVideoStats& stats) {
    (void)source;
    (void)stats;
    }

The SDK triggers this callback once every two seconds to report the statistics of the local video stream.

Parameters

source
The type of the video source. See VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE.
stats
The statistics of the local video stream. See LocalVideoStats.

onLocalVideoTranscoderError

Occurs when there's an error during the local video mixing.

virtual void onLocalVideoTranscoderError(const TranscodingVideoStream& stream, VIDEO_TRANSCODER_ERROR error){
    (void)stream;
    (void)error;
  }

Details

When you fail to call startLocalVideoTranscoder or updateLocalTranscoderConfiguration, the SDK triggers this callback to report the reason.

Parameters

stream
The video streams that cannot be mixed during video mixing. See TranscodingVideoStream.
error
The reason for local video mixing error. See VIDEO_TRANSCODER_ERROR.

onNetworkQuality

Reports the last mile network quality of each user in the channel.

virtual void onNetworkQuality(uid_t uid, int txQuality, int rxQuality) {
    (void)uid;
    (void)txQuality;
    (void)rxQuality;
    }

This callback reports the last mile network conditions of each user in the channel. Last mile refers to the connection between the local device and Agora's edge server.

The SDK triggers this callback once every two seconds. If a channel includes multiple users, the SDK triggers this callback as many times.

Note: txQuality is UNKNOWN when the user is not sending a stream; rxQuality is UNKNOWN when the user is not receiving a stream.

Parameters

uid

The user ID. The network quality of the user with this user ID is reported. If the uid is 0, the local network quality is reported.

txQuality
Uplink network quality rating of the user in terms of the transmission bit rate, packet loss rate, average RTT (Round-Trip Time) and jitter of the uplink network. This parameter is a quality rating helping you understand how well the current uplink network conditions can support the selected video encoder configuration. For example, a 1000 Kbps uplink network may be adequate for video frames with a resolution of 640 Ă— 480 and a frame rate of 15 fps in the LIVE_BROADCASTING profile, but might be inadequate for resolutions higher than 1280 Ă— 720. See QUALITY_TYPE.
rxQuality
Downlink network quality rating of the user in terms of packet loss rate, average RTT, and jitter of the downlink network. See QUALITY_TYPE.

onNetworkTypeChanged

When the network connection is interrupted, this callback indicates whether the interruption is caused by a network type change or poor network conditions.

Parameters

type

The type of the local network connection. See NETWORK_TYPE.

onPermissionError

Occurs when the SDK cannot get the device permission.

virtual void onPermissionError(PERMISSION_TYPE permissionType) {

onUserEnableVideo

Occurs when a remote user enables or disables the video module.

virtual void onUserEnableVideo(uid_t uid, bool enabled) {
    (void)uid;
    (void)enabled;
    }

Once the video module is disabled, the user can only use a voice call. The user cannot send or receive any video.

The SDK triggers this callback when a remote user enables or disables the video module by calling the enableVideo or disableVideo method.

Parameters

uid
The user ID of the remote user.
enabled
  • true: The video module is enabled.
  • false: The video module is disabled.

virtual void onUserInfoUpdated(uid_t uid, const UserInfo& info) {
     (void)uid;
     (void)info;
     }

After a remote user joins the channel, the SDK gets the UID and user account of the remote user, caches them in a mapping table object, and triggers this callback on the local client.

Parameters

uid
The user ID of the remote user.
info
The UserInfo object that contains the user ID and user account of the remote user. See UserInfo for details.

onUserJoined

Occurs when a remote user (in the communication profile)/ host (in the live streaming profile) joins the channel.

virtual void onUserJoined(uid_t uid, int elapsed) {
    (void)uid;
    (void)elapsed;
    }
  • In a communication channel, this callback indicates that a remote user joins the channel. The SDK also triggers this callback to report the existing users in the channel when a user joins the channel.
  • In a live-broadcast channel, this callback indicates that a host joins the channel. The SDK also triggers this callback to report the existing hosts in the channel when a host joins the channel. Agora recommends limiting the number of hosts to 17.
The SDK triggers this callback under one of the following circumstances:
  • A remote user/host joins the channel.
  • A remote user switches the user role to the host after joining the channel.
  • A remote user/host rejoins the channel after a network interruption.

Parameters

uid
The ID of the user or host who joins the channel.
elapsed
Time delay (ms) from the local user calling joinChannel [2/2] until this callback is triggered.

onUserMuteAudio

Occurs when a remote user (in the communication profile) or a host (in the live streaming profile) stops/resumes sending the audio stream.

virtual void onUserMuteAudio(uid_t uid, bool muted) {
    (void)uid;
    (void)muted;
    }

The SDK triggers this callback when the remote user stops or resumes sending the audio stream by calling the muteLocalAudioStream method.

Attention: This callback does not work properly when the number of users (in the communication profile) or hosts (in the live streaming channel) in a channel exceeds 17.

Parameters

uid
The user ID.
muted
Whether the remote user's audio stream is muted:
  • true: User's audio stream is muted.
  • false: User's audio stream is unmuted.

onUserMuteVideo

Occurs when a remote user stops or resumes publishing the video stream.

virtual void onUserMuteVideo(uid_t uid, bool muted) {
    (void)uid;
    (void)muted;
    }

When a remote user calls muteLocalVideoStream to stop or resume publishing the video stream, the SDK triggers this callback to report to the local user the state of the streams published by the remote user.

Attention: This callback can be inaccurate when the number of users (in the communication profile) or hosts (in the live streaming profile) in a channel exceeds 17.

Parameters

uid
The user ID of the remote user.
muted
Whether the remote user stops publishing the video stream:
  • true: The remote user stops publishing the video stream.
  • false: The remote user resumes publishing the video stream.

onUserOffline

Occurs when a remote user (in the communication profile)/ host (in the live streaming profile) leaves the channel.

virtual void onUserOffline(uid_t uid, USER_OFFLINE_REASON_TYPE reason) {
    (void)uid;
    (void)reason;
    }
There are two reasons for users to become offline:
  • Leave the channel: When a user/host leaves the channel, the user/host sends a goodbye message. When this message is received, the SDK determines that the user/host leaves the channel.
  • Drop offline: When no data packet of the user or host is received for a certain period of time (20 seconds for the communication profile, and more for the live broadcast profile), the SDK assumes that the user/host drops offline. A poor network connection may lead to false detections. It's recommended to use the Agora RTM SDK for reliable offline detection.

Parameters

uid
The ID of the user who leaves the channel or goes offline.
reason

Reasons why the user goes offline: USER_OFFLINE_REASON_TYPE.

onVideoDeviceStateChanged

Occurs when the video device state changes.

virtual void onVideoDeviceStateChanged(const char* deviceId, int deviceType, int deviceState) {
     (void)deviceId;
     (void)deviceType;
     (void)deviceState;
     }

This callback reports the change of system video devices, such as being unplugged or removed. On a Windows device with an external camera for video capturing, the video disables once the external camera is unplugged.

Note: This callback is for Windows and macOS only.

Parameters
