WebRTC uses the ICE protocol to create a connection between two peers. It uses DTLS-SRTP to create secure peer-to-peer communication.

Now, both ICE and DTLS-SRTP are protocols that can be implemented on any device regardless of platform. You implement or use the existing implementation of ICE and DTLS-SRTP in your Android applications and communicate with each other.

When you read WebRTC implementation guides for communicating between an Android application and a browser, the Android application has both ICE and DTLS-SRTP implementations. Thus, this Android application can interact with another Android application with a similar implementation.

For everyone who is still looking for their own solution without any servers. I figured out how to use WebView with WebRTC and without any STUN / TURN / ICE servers. The trick is to implement handshakes between WebRTC instances on devices. I used a direct socket connection between devices. You can download the source for a working example at https://github.com/hilderonny/simplevideochat . Sorry for the missing code documentation, I'm still working on it.
