Use AppRTC with a custom server

I've successfully build the AppRTC for android and I'm able to make videocalls providing the address of the demo app ( https://apprtc.appspot.com/?r=XXXXXXXX )

My question is, how can I make this app work with a custom WebRTC server OR with another WebRTC app ( e.g. https://talky.io/)

I'm a little bit confused about how to achieve this. I've also followed the tutorials HERE and I'm able to make calls between desktop browser but I have no idea how to connect from the android app.

P.S.

If someone is interested I've built the app following the following links:

Actually you can deploy web version of https://apprtc.appspot.com/ to your own server.

It's written on GAE (Google App Engine) - http://webrtc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/js/apprtc/ This has been moved to branches folder http://webrtc.googlecode.com/svn/branches/3.53/samples/js/apprtc/

Just register GAE account https://appengine.google.com/ and deploy this web app to it.

Next - you can connect WebRTC Android sample to you own GAE server - https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/trunk/talk/examples/android/src/org/appspot/apprtc/AppRTCDemoActivity.java

Find line

roomInput.setText("https://apprtc.appspot.com/?r="); 

and replace apprtc server name

You can achieve webrtc with your own server.

Several steps to follow:

1.Build your own HTTP server to provide the html service(i.e. the main page of your webRTC project instead of apprtc main page). In this step I use node.js and node-static(https://github.com/cloudhead/node-static).

2.Build your own signalling server. PeerJS is a good choice. Read the doc files. Also, code you HTML file to support peerjs.

Here is an example of peerjs implementation. It helped me a lot

Goodluck!
