QuickBlox Android VideoChat Java Sample

Overview

This is a code sample for QuickBlox platform. It is a great way for developers using QuickBlox platform to learn how to integrate audio and video calling features into your application and how to use calling in foreground service.

Push Notifications in VideoChat Sample

Push Notifications in this sample used to notify offline user about incoming call. To send and receive push notifications in sample you should have a Firebase account and Firebase Cloud Messaging project

How QuickBlox Push Notifications work: (https://quickblox.com/developers/SimpleSample-messages_users-android#How_QuickBlox_Push_Notifications_work)

If you already have GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) account you need to migrate from GCM to FCM: (https://quickblox.com/developers/How_to_migrate_from_GCM_to_FCM)
