Project description

api.video's Android client streamlines the coding process. Chunking files is handled for you, as is pagination and refreshing your tokens.

Getting started

Requirements

Building the API client library requires:

1. Java 1.8+
2. Maven/Gradle

Installation

Maven users

Add this dependency to your project's POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>video.api</groupId>
  <artifactId>android-api-client</artifactId>
  <version>0.1.0</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Gradle users

Add this dependency to your project's build file:

implementation "video.api:android-api-client:0.1.0"

Others

At first generate the JAR by executing:

mvn clean package

Then manually install the following JARs:

• target/android-api-client-0.1.0.jar
• target/lib/*.jar

Code sample

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following Kotlin code:

import android.os.Bundle
import android.util.Log
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import video.api.client.ApiVideoClient
import video.api.client.api.ApiException
import video.api.client.api.models.*
import java.io.File
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService
import java.util.concurrent.Executors

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val executor: ExecutorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    }

    override fun onResume() {
        super.onResume()

        val apiVideoClient = ApiVideoClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
        // if you rather like to use the sandbox environment:
        // val apiVideoClient = ApiVideoClient("YOU_SANDBOX_API_TOKEN", Environment.SANDBOX)

        val myVideoFile = File("my-video.mp4")

        /**
         * Notice: you must not call API from the UI/main thread. Dispatch with Thread, Executors or Kotlin coroutines.
         */
        executor.execute {
            try {
                var video = apiVideoClient.videos().create(VideoCreationPayload().title("my video"))
                video = apiVideoClient.videos().upload(video.videoId, myVideoFile)
                Log.i("Example", "$video")
            } catch (e: ApiException) {
                Log.e("Example", "Exception when calling VideoApi")
                e.message?.let {
                    Log.e("Example", "Reason: ${it}")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Example

An example that demonstrates how to use the API is provided in folder example/.

Permissions

You have to add the following permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- Application requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to upload videos` -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Your application also has to dynamically request the android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to upload videos.

Documentation for Authorization

API token

Most endpoints required to be authenticated using the API token mechanism described in our documentation. The access token generation mechanism is automatically handled by the client. All you have to do is provide an API token when instantiating the ApiVideoClient:

val client = ApiVideoClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

Public endpoints

Some endpoints don't require authentication. These one can be called with a client instantiated without API token:

val client = ApiVideoClient()

Recommendation

It's recommended to create an instance of ApiClient per thread in a multithreaded environment to avoid any potential issues. Do not call API from the main thread, otherwise you will get a android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException. Dispatch API calls with Thread, Executors or Kotlin coroutine to avoid this.
