I'm trying to implement WebRTC on an android device supporting API 22 and I'm trying to connect to Kurento Media Server to establish media server capabilities. For my application Server layer, I'm trying to utilize a Java Server based on Tomcat, and this is implementing a Kurento Client API to connect to the Kurento Media Server. The issue I am having is understanding how to go about establishing a connection between the Android device and Kurento and doing a media transfer after the connection has been authorized by the Application Server and a SDP response has been processed by the Kurento Client initialized on the Application/Signaling Server. I came across Kurento Android SDK (Kands) but the repositories are missing sources on Maven and Gradle. Any help here in implementing the WebRtc.org stack with Kurento would be appreciated!
Implementing Kurento Client with WebRTC on Android

KANDS will not help you much for several reasons. First, it is an outdated and unmaintained project. Second, with the setup you describe, I think you'd be barking at the wrong tree. In your case, the signalling that should be implemented in your Android client, should be between the client and your app server. As you can see in the following image, which depicts your proposed setup, your client will be connecting to an app server using your own signalling protocol, and it is you app server the one in charge of controlling KSM.
In this way, you can implement all your business logic in the app-server, and you'll be able to make upgrades in the media part, shielding your clients by hiding the underlying implementation. The only thing that you'll need, is to get the SDP offer from your client to the KMS (going through your app server), have the KMS process that offer, and send the answer back to your client.
With this setup, you'll also have the posibillity to connect Android clients to any other type of webrtc capable clients, such as browsers.
