                TODO("Not yet implemented")
            }

        })

Remote unlocking

API description

Implements remote operations, including unlocking, locking, unlocking rejection, and locking rejection.

void remoteLock(boolean isOpen, boolean confirm, IResultCallback callback);

Parameters

Parameter Optional Description
isOpen No Specifies whether to unlock. Valid values:
  • true: unlock
  • false: lock
confirm No Specifies whether to accept unlocking. Valid values:
  • true: accept
  • false: reject
Callback Yes The callback.

If onSuccess is returned by Callback, it only means a success callback, but cannot indicate the result of the command executed by the lock.

  • confirm = true: The device status changes to run the unlocking or locking command. The command result depends on the listener for the result of the method onRemoteUnlockReport.
  • confirm=false: The device status remains unchanged and no DP data is reported. onSuccess: The unlocking or locking request is rejected.

Example

fun remoteUnLock(isOpen: Boolean, confirm: Boolean) {
        iThingVideoLockManager?.remoteLock(isOpen, confirm, object : IResultCallback {
            override fun onError(code: String?, error: String?) {
                Toast.makeText(mContext, error, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }

            override fun onSuccess() {
                Toast.makeText(mContext, "publish success", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }

        })
    }

Capture image again

API description

Captures an image again. Then, the device transfers the captured image to cloud storage. onLockMessageArrived is called to report the image path. Due to device limits, this operation can only be implemented once within 15 seconds.

void reTakePhoto(boolean isTakePhotoAgain, IResultCallback callback);

Parameters

Parameter Optional Description
isTakePhotoAgain No Specifies whether to capture an image again.
callback Yes The callback.

        imageView.setImageURI(it,fileKey.toByteArray())
      }
    }

Get video object

API description

IIPCManager getIPCManager();

Multiple features are implemented, including (peer-to-peer) P2P connection, video rendering, and video talks, as shown in the following process.

Wi-Fi Smart Lock Audio and Video Capabilities

Import view rendering container to page layout file

ThingCameraView is the video rendering view provided by the SDK.

<com.thingclips.smart.camera.middleware.widget.ThingCameraView
  android:id="@+id/camera_video_view"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  />

Set callback for view rendering container

API description

public void setViewCallback(AbsVideoViewCallback callback);

Parameters

Parameter Description
callback The callback.

Example

ThingCameraView mVideoView = findViewById(R.id.camera_video_view);
mVideoView.setViewCallback(new AbsVideoViewCallback() {
	@Override
	public void onCreated(Object view) {
		super.onCreated(view);
        // The callback for the view rendering container.
	}
});

AbsVideoViewCallback

The abstract class of the callback for the view rendering.
You only need to focus on rewriting the callback as needed. In most cases, only the onCreated method needs to be rewritten.

sessionStatus The session status.
Session status code Description
0 The connection is created.
-3 The connection timed out.
-12 The connection is closed by the device.
-13 The connection is closed due to timeout after no response is returned.

P2P connections

Before live video streaming, a P2P connection must be created. The P2P connection status is subject to your maintenance. The SDK can only send commands to and receive responses from the device.

API description

Create a P2P connection

void connect(IResultCallback callBack);

Close a P2P connection

void disconnect(IResultCallback callBack);

Parameters

Parameter Description
callBack The callback.

Whether P2P connection is built

boolean isConnected();

Whether P2P connection in progress

boolean isConnecting();

Play live video

After a P2P connection is created, live video streaming can be started.

API description

Start live video streaming

void startPreview(int clarity, IResultCallback callBack);

Stop live video streaming

int stopPreview(IResultCallback callBack);

Parameters

Parameter Description
clarity The video definition.
callBack The callback.

Video definition

Mode Value
Standard definition 2
High definition 4

Example

iIPCManager.startPreview(new IResultCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess() {
        // Live video streaming is started.
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(String code, String error) {
        // Failed to start live video streaming.
    }
});

After startPreview returns the success callback, the callback onReceiveFrameYUVData starts receiving video data and transmitting it to the business layer.

Local recording

During live video streaming or record playback, the ongoing videos can be recorded on a mobile phone.

During video recording, do not switch between video definition modes or modify the audio channel switch and live video talk settings.

To save video footage to a system album, you must implement this feature on your own. Starting from Android 10, scoped storage is applicable. This feature can be disabled for most of these versions but is required by Android 11. To store media files to a system album, the MediaStore API methods must be used.

Enable video recording

API description

void startRecord(String folderPath, Context context, RotateModeEnum rotateMode, IResultCallback callback);

Video recording requires the write permissions of the SD card.

Parameters

Parameter Description
folderPath The path in which videos are stored.
context The context.
rotateMode The rotation mode.
callBack The callback.

Stop video recording

API description

void stopRecord(IThingResultCallback<Map<String, String>> callback);

Callback parameter description

In the callback, the video path is returned as the value of the key video, and the cover image is returned as the value of the key coverImage.

Whether recording in progress

API description

boolean isRecording();

Example

if(iIpcManager?.isRecording == true){
	stopRecorder()
}else{
	startRecord()
}

...
fun startRecord(){
	iIpcManager?.startRecord(
                path,
                mContext,
                rotateMode ?: RotateModeEnum.NORMAL,
                object : IResultCallback {
                    override fun onError(code: String?, error: String?) {
                        
                    }

                    override fun onSuccess() {
                        L.i(TAG, "recorder success")
                    }

                })
}
fun stopRecord(){
	iIpcManager?.stopRecord(object : IThingResultCallback<Map<String, String>> {
            override fun onSuccess(result: Map<String, String>?) {
                result?.let {
                    val videoPath = it.get("video")
                    val coverImagePath = it.get("coverImage")                    
                }
            }

            override fun onError(errorCode: String?, errorMessage: String?) {
                
            }

        })
}

Video screenshots

To save screenshots to a system album, you must implement this feature on your own. Starting from Android 10, scoped storage is applicable. This feature can be disabled for most of these versions but is required by Android 11. To store media files to a system album, the MediaStore API methods must be used.

API description

void snapshot(String folderPath, Context context, ICameraP2P.PLAYMODE playmode, RotateModeEnum rotateMode, IThingResultCallback<String> callback);

Parameters

Parameter Description
folderPath The path in which the screenshots are stored.
context The context.
playmode The video playback mode. Currently, only PLAYMODE.LIVE is supported.
rotateMode The rotation angle. Valid values: 0, 90, 180, and 270.
callBack The callback. onSuccess returns the complete path of the screenshot.

                path,
                mContext,
                ICameraP2P.PLAYMODE.LIVE,
                rotateMode ?: RotateModeEnum.NORMAL,
                object : IThingResultCallback<String> {
                    override fun onSuccess(result: String?) {
                        L.i(TAG, "snapshot success :$result")
                    }

                    override fun onError(errorCode: String?, errorMessage: String?) {
                        
                    }

                })
