I need to know if android version 2.1 , 2.2 or 2.3 support online radio streaming, if not could you please tell me which one supports?
As far as I know, streaming audio is possible with all mentioned versions. One of the simpler examples I've seen can be found here http://blog.pocketjourney.com/2009/12/27/android-streaming-mediaplayer-tutorial-updated-to-v1-5-cupcake/
This example shows the usage of android.media.MediaPlayer with a HTTP protocol URL.

I need to stream audio to my app as it is being recorded live. How do I do this for Android? I have searched a few sources and didn't get a straight answer on how to do this.
The official documentation says Android supports live streaming over http/https in Android 3.0+. I need to be able to stream to devices with 2.3+. Any suggestion would help me. Thanks!
I would recommend to implement an icecast/shoutcast server. You can find some tips about how to do the Android side on this question: Icecast/shoutcast streaming on Android
Since Android (officially) support HLS starting with 3.0 I've looked at different ways to include hls in my app.
use a lib like the nexstreaming (pretty expensive)
use a HTML 5 player (hls not working on some 2.3 devices)
utilize plugin players like vitamio
My Problem is, that possibility number 3 works best, but my client doesn't want the users to see that a plugin is used.
Is there a way to include another apk / install it without prompting the user?
Or maybe someone has a completly different idea on playing hls on 2.x .
Vitamio is free(means charge) for personal/commercial use so far...
Contact vov.io and buy a commercial license for vitamio. Then you could bundle it in your apk. It's still going to be way cheaper than nextreaming.
Currently we are developing an Android application for streaming. We are looking for an alternative library, because the VLC library isn't finished yet. We currently used the Vitamio library, but it works a little buggy.
Doesn't play MMS immediately
Some HTTP Stream will not start
Can't edit the controls
Are there any other third party libraries who cover the following streams: HTTP Live streaming (apple), RTSP and MMS. And also are better documented? Thanks in advance.
Also GStreamer provides a version for android (arm processor).
Here you can find the libraries http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/android/1.0.7/
You can look at wrapping the FFMPEG library and using it.
I am working on an app that needs to render video streaming using the HTTP Live Streaming protocol. From what I read it is only supported on Android 3.0(Does 2.3 support it too?). My question is for 2.1 and 2.2 phones, are there any other ways than developing a library using NDK? Has anyone used the Nexstream SDK? Please pointing out some directions, be NDK or available 3rd party SDK.
Thanks

To answer my own question, there 3rd party libraries. Akamai's library is fairly good.
I'm trying to implement HTTP Live Streaming in my first Android app. On top of that, I need to support encryption as well.
I see that some of this functionality (not sure about the encryption) is supported in Honeycomb. Does anybody know if there are open source (or paid) libraries/frameworks available to support HTTP Live Streaming with encryption in 2.1/2.2 ?
Thanks,
Tony
