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
