Installation

Add the JitPack repository to your settings.gradle.kts:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
}
}

Add the dependency to your app's build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
implementation("com.github.DecartAI:decart-android:0.7.3")
}

val realtime = client.realtime
// 1. Connect and publish the device camera through LiveKit
realtime.connect(
ConnectOptions(
model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_RESTYLE_2,
initialPrompt =InitialPrompt("a cyberpunk cityscape"),
facing =FacingMode.FRONT,
mirror =MirrorMode.AUTO,
publishCamera =true,
onRemoteStream = { stream ->// Display stream.videoTrack with a LiveKit renderer.
},
),
)
// 2. Change prompt during session and wait for the server ack.try {
realtime.setPrompt("a sunny beach scene", enhance =true)
} catch (e:Exception) {
// ack failure, timeout, or websocket disconnect
}
// Or start immediately and keep a Deferred if you want JS Promise-style usage.val promptAck = realtime.setPromptAsync("a sunny beach scene", enhance =true)
promptAck.await()
// 3. Disconnect when done
realtime.disconnect()
client.release()

LiveKit rendering

Realtime media tracks are LiveKit tracks. The Android publisher API currently surfaces remote video streams:

importio.livekit.android.renderer.SurfaceViewRenderer
realtime.remoteStreamUpdates.collect { stream ->
stream.videoTrack?.addRenderer(remoteRenderer)
}

Realtime audio support

The Android LiveKit realtime publisher currently supports video only. publishMicrophone, includeMicrophone, and RealtimeMediaStream.audioTrack are retained for 0.7 source compatibility, but they are deprecated and ignored; SDK-created streams always expose audioTrack = null.

Realtime camera sizing and codec

Use the model registry to size camera input instead of hardcoding dimensions:

val model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1val localStream = realtime.createLocalVideoStream(model) // uses model.width/model.height

The Lucy 2.1 realtime model configs use 1088x624. The default LiveKit publisher codec is VP8; override it only when needed via RealtimeConfiguration.VideoConfig(preferredCodec = ...).

Realtime camera mirroring

Use mirror to pre-flip captured frames before they are sent to Decart. This is safer than flipping the rendered remote stream because server-baked pixels such as watermarks and overlays remain readable.

val localStream = realtime.createLocalVideoStream(
model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1,
facing =FacingMode.FRONT,
mirror =MirrorMode.AUTO, // default: front camera mirrored, back camera unmodified
)

When capture mirroring is enabled, render both local previews and remote streams as-is; do not also set renderer-level mirroring for those tracks.

You can also set the same behavior for SDK-owned camera capture:

realtime.connect(
ConnectOptions(
model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1,
facing =FacingMode.FRONT,
mirror =MirrorMode.AUTO,
)
)

Output resolution

Opt into 1080p output for a realtime session (defaults to 720p server-side):

importai.decart.sdk.realtime.Resolution
realtime.connect(
ConnectOptions(
model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1,
resolution =Resolution.P1080, // default: server-side 720p
onRemoteStream = { /* ... */ },
)
)

Connection quality

Two layers, both on a shared GOOD | FAIR | POOR | CRITICAL scale — the SDK reports, you decide what to do (gate the UI, warn the user, etc.).

Preflight (before connecting). A fast, network-only reachability check — a throwaway peer connection against public STUN, so there's no session and no cost:

importai.decart.sdk.realtime.ConnectionQualityval report = realtime.checkConnectivity() // suspend// report.metrics: transport (UDP | RELAY | FAILED), rttMsif (report.quality ==ConnectionQuality.CRITICAL) showFallbackUi(report.reasons)

In-session quality. While connected, the SDK derives a smoothed verdict from WebRTC stats (latency, packet loss, upstream bandwidth, frame rate) and tells you the limiting factor. Updates every stats sample (~few seconds) with fresh metrics; the level is debounced:

realtime.connect(
ConnectOptions(
model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1,
onConnectionQuality = { report ->// report.limitingFactor: BANDWIDTH | LATENCY | LOSS | STALL | CPU | NONE// report.metrics: rttMs, fps, packetLoss, availableUpstreamKbps, ...
},
onRemoteStream = { /* ... */ },
)
)
// also a Flow + a getter:
realtime.connectionQuality.collect { /* ConnectionQualityReport? */ }
realtime.getConnectionQuality() // latest, or null before the first sample

Glass-to-glass latency (opt-in, diagnostic). Network RTT hides the dominant cost in real-time video — model inference — so a session can read GOOD while feeling laggy. Set debugQuality = true to measure the real camera→display latency: the SDK stamps a pixel marker into each outgoing frame and reads it back off the rendered output, surfacing startup (ttffMs) and steady-state (g2gMs) latency plus end-to-end drops (g2gDropRatio). When present, glass-to-glass drives the latency verdict instead of RTT.

⚠️ Diagnostic only. The marker is visible (bottom-left of the published + rendered video) and adds per-frame pixel work — don't enable it for production/end-user sessions. With a caller-provided stream, build it via createLocalVideoStream(..., debugQuality = true) so the same debugQuality is set on both the stream and connect().

realtime.connect(
ConnectOptions(
model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1,
debugQuality =true,
onConnectionQuality = { report ->// report.metrics.ttffMs / g2gMs / g2gDropRatio
},
)
)

For a measured verdict before connecting (instead of the network-only check), use the deep probe — it briefly opens a real session with a synthetic source, measures glass-to-glass, then tears it down. It requires a model and costs a short GPU session:

importai.decart.sdk.realtime.CheckConnectivityOptionsval probe = realtime.checkConnectivity(
CheckConnectivityOptions(deep =true, model =RealtimeModels.LUCY_2_1),
)
// probe.metrics.g2gMs / ttffMs / g2gDropRatio
