    android:id="@+id/ip_cam_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter"
    app:url="YOUR_STREAM_URL"
    app:interval="1500"/>
  • Java
IPCamView ipCamView = findViewById(R.id.ip_cam_view);
ipCamView.setUrl("http://webcam.abaco-digital.es/zuda/image2.jpg");
ipCamView.setInterval(1000); // In milliseconds, default 1000

The start() method is required in order to start the MJPEG stream. You can also stop the stream by calling the stop() method.
