Daily WebRTC Transport

WebRTC implementation for Android using Daily

The Daily transport implementation enables real-time audio and video communication in your Pipecat Android applications using Daily’s WebRTC infrastructure.

Installation

Add the Daily transport dependency to your app/build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
    implementation("ai.pipecat:daily-transport:1.2.0")
}

Add the microphone permission to AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

Usage

Create a client using the Daily transport:

import ai.pipecat.client.PipecatClientOptions
import ai.pipecat.client.PipecatEventCallbacks
import ai.pipecat.client.daily.DailyTransport
import ai.pipecat.client.daily.PipecatClientDaily
import ai.pipecat.client.types.APIRequest
import ai.pipecat.client.types.Value

val callbacks = object : PipecatEventCallbacks() {

    override fun onBackendError(message: String) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Error from backend: $message")
    }

    // ...
}

val options = PipecatClientOptions(callbacks = callbacks, enableMic = true)

val client = PipecatClientDaily(DailyTransport(context), options)

val startBotParams = APIRequest(
    endpoint = "https://your-server.com/start",
    // Pipecat Cloud and the Pipecat development runner use these fields
    // to decide how to run the bot; unknown fields are ignored
    requestData = Value.Object(
        "transport" to Value.Str("daily"),
        "createDailyRoom" to Value.Bool(true),
    )
)

// Kotlin coroutines
client.startBotAndConnect(startBotParams).await()

// Callbacks
client.startBotAndConnect(startBotParams).withCallback {
    // ...
}

Configuration

Your server endpoint should return Daily-specific configuration:

{
  "dailyRoom": "https://your-domain.daily.co/room-name",
  "dailyToken": "your-daily-token"
}
