Bambuser Live SDK creates a native video player to display the live content and all the other shoppable elements are been overlayed by the webview. In this way we can get a seamless video streaming and picture in picture, with all the interactive elements.

Setup​

You need to initialize the SDK before using it. In your Application class, you can create multiple instances of the BambuserSDK:

globalBambuserSDK = BambuserSDK(
    applicationContext = this,
    organizationServer = OrganizationServer.US,
    )

euBambuserSDK = BambuserSDK(
    applicationContext = this,
    organizationServer = OrganizationServer.EU,
    )

Play show​

You need to use the SDK instance to create a new Live view sdkInstance.GetLiveView This function would require two mandatory parameters:

  • videoConfiguration - This is the configuration for the video player.
  • videoPlayerDelegate - This is the delegate to receive events and errors.
