Adding a video step

MobbScan offers you the possibility of establishing a video conference as an extra step in your verification process.

Configuration

Before starting developing your video step, you need to add the following dependencies in your build.gradle file (dependencies section).

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility 1.8
        targetCompatibility 1.8
    }
    ...
}
dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.twilio:video-android:7.5.1'
    ...
}

Video step preparation

First, you need to configure the video component:

Kotlin / Java

MobbScanVideoAPI mobbScanVideoAPI = MobbScanVideoAPI.getInstance();
mobbScanVideoAPI.setBaseURL("https://yourvideoinstance.yourcompany.com");
mobbScanVideoAPI.setLocalVideoContainer(this.localVideoViewContainer);
mobbScanVideoAPI.setRemoteVideoContainer(this.remoteVideoViewContainer);

Note: localVideoContainer and remoteVideoContainer are instances of MobbScanVideoView. You can adjust how the video will be presented in your layout using aspecMode attribute of each of these view (both in XML or programmatically).

If your layout will present both videos somehow overlapped, you need to specify which one should be on top of the other using setTopVideoView of MobbScanVideoView.

Define your listener to be reported of the changes during the video step.

Kotlin

Java

mobbScanVideoAPI.setListener() { resut, resultData, error -> {
    // Your code for the listener here...
}}

mobbScanVideoAPI.setListener(new MobbScanVideoListener() {
    @Override
    public void onVideoEvent(MobbScanVideoResult result, MobbScanVideoResultData resultData, MobbScanAPIError error) {
        // your code for the listener here...
    }
});

The listener call has 3 objects, that represent the following:

• MobbScanVideoResult result: represents the state of the process. Can return one of the following values:

  value	description	comment
  WAITING	Video step is still waiting for availability	When this is the state of the video, you can use the MobbScanVideoResultData.waitTime
  ON_PROCESS	Video is stablished and being processed
  FINISHED	Video step has already been done	When this is the state of the video, you can use the MobbScanVideoResultData.finishedByClient
  ERROR	A problem occurs during the video step	Error parameter gives you extra information of the problem

• MobbScanVideoResultData resultData: object that contains a boolean indicating if the call was finished by a the client or by the remote site and an estimation of the time needed to establish the video. Available when the result param is set to WAITING or FINISHED.

• MobbScanAPIError error: object that specifies the error ocurred during the process. Contains the error code and extra information about the error.

Start the video conference

Note: To start the video conference process you should have done the startScan method to get the scan id previously. If you don't know how to to this, please visit the getting started guide.

Having the scanId, you only need to do the following:

Kotlin / Java

mobbScanVideoAPI.start("YOUR_SCAN_ID");

Allow the user to stop the video

If you need to give the user the posibility to finish the video process, you can use the stop method.

Kotlin / Java

mobbScanVideoAPI.stop();
