Stream without preview

[Brehmiu]

Hi,
first of all i'd like to say that your library is awesome and helped me a lot. Actually this is not really an issue but since Android 4 you can provide a SurfaceTexture instead of a SurfaceView as Preview. A big advantage of this method is that you don't have to add a SurfaceTexture to an activity to be a valid preview. I tried that by just replacing every call to setSurfaceView by setSurfaceTexture and it works perfectly on my Nexus 4. I'm actually not sure wether this is already supported by your library as i did not review the complete code. Just thought in case you don't know this might be interesting.

Good to know :)
Could be nice to have a SurfaceTexture automatically created when no SurfaceView has been set... I added that on my libstreaming todo list

Cheers,
Simon

Hi there,

Can you give me some pointers on how to do this? I think I need to change something in VideoStream.java in libstreaming but I stuck on exactly where.

Yes, I am looking to implement this functionality as well and having trouble on how exactly to implement SurfaceTexture instead of SurfaceViews.
