WebRTC not creating IceCandidates for video

Question

On an Android app I am trying to make a webRTC connection.

When I am the callee I receive enough number of IceCandidates for video and audio from the socket connection. When my IceCandidates are created there are much fewer of them. Approximately 6 of them are created and they are all for audio.

From the log messages I see connection is successful and audio is going both ways and I manage to send my video to the caller as well however I can not receive the caller's video stream. I guess it is related to not being able to create enough IceCandidates to send to socket connection. Any ideas?

Maybe it is not ideal but the following solved my problem.

First of all it is OK to have fewer number of IceCandidate s. During creation of IceCandidate s on my side, sdpMid fields still don't contain video value -i receive both video and audio values for sdpMid key in IceCandidate s from socket connection-.

All I had to do was to touch my views again after the connection is set with the following methods.

I walked through these here and here.

private void updateVideoViews(final boolean remoteVisible) {
    activity.runOnUiThread(() -> {
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = localVideoView.getLayoutParams();
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params2 = remoteVideoView.getLayoutParams();
        if (remoteVisible) {
            params.height = dpToPx(100);
            params.width = dpToPx(100);

            params2.height = dpToPx(100);
            params2.width = dpToPx(100);
        } else {
            params = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
            params2 = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        }
        localVideoView.setLayoutParams(params);
        remoteVideoView.setLayoutParams(params2);
    });
}

public int dpToPx(int dp) {
    DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
    return Math.round(dp * (displayMetrics.xdpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT));
}

Hii I have the same issue as urs and following the article that u suggested, I am also getting in logs about audio but not video and still, my issue has not solved the way u r saying .can u share me constrains and initial peer connection properties? — Richa Shah, Apr 17 '20 at 07:08
