Replaces WebView call media on Android with a native LiveKit connection (iOS
parity), so call audio survives backgrounding and the output can be switched
to Speaker/Bluetooth/Earpiece — the #3 (missing speaker control) and #4
(background audio) items.
Gated behind a new, default-off server flag ANDROID_NATIVE_MEDIA (independent
of ANDROID_CALLS, which only governs the native ring). Flag off = today's
WebView media, video included; flag on = native audio (video is Increment 2b,
so enable it for VOICE testing first). No behavior change until flipped.
Native (mobile/plugins/native-call/android):
- build.gradle: add kotlin-android + io.livekit:livekit-android 2.29.2 (+ twilio
audioswitch, coroutines) + JitPack repo; minSdk 24 (LiveKit floor).
- CallMedia.kt: LiveKit Room wrapper — connect/mic/disconnect + AudioSwitchHandler
routing (auto + selectDevice) and route-change events.
- CallForegroundService.java: microphone-type foreground service for background
audio (no-ops without RECORD_AUDIO so it never crashes the call).
- NativeCallPlugin.java: real bodies for reportOutgoingCall/reconnectRoom/setMuted
/endCall + new setAudioRoute/getAudioRoute; fires callConnected/callError/audioRoute.
- AndroidManifest: FG service + FOREGROUND_SERVICE(_MICROPHONE)/RECORD_AUDIO/
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS/BLUETOOTH_CONNECT.
- android-patch.js: bump the generated app minSdk to 24.
Server:
- config.js/routes.js: ANDROID_NATIVE_MEDIA → /api/meetings/config.androidNativeMedia.
Web (home.html):
- Android flips to the native-media path when androidNativeMedia is set; the
existing outgoing/answer/mic/end code then drives the plugin unchanged.
- Speaker button wired for Android native: cycles speaker/earpiece/bluetooth via
NC.setAudioRoute and reflects the real output from the audioRoute event.
Video stays no-op on the native path (Increment 2b).
