called func pollsfetched( polls \[hmpoll]) { // persist the polls } when a poll is created, the following function is called func pollcreated( poll hmpoll) { // insert the poll } when a poll is updated, the following function is called func pollupdated( poll hmpoll) { // update the poll } when a poll is deleted, the following function is called func polldeleted( poll hmpoll) { // delete the poll } submit poll response to respond to a poll from your custom poll interface, call the following function hmmediaplayer submitpollresponse(pollid poll id, optionid optionid) { result in switch

listed below more information when the player screen will display chat content, the following function is called allowing you to provide a custom chat handler and view controller to display provide nilif you'd like to use the default hotmic chat service and ui note the handler and view controller can be the same instance of your view controller if it conforms to hmchathandler chat handler the hmchathandlerprotocol defines functions you implement if you'd like to provide a custom view controller for chat while utilizing the hotmic chat service your implementation needs to store a reference to an hmchathandlerdelegateand call its functions to get information and inform the delegate when various events occur store the delegate in a weak optional variable to call its functions in the future store the host id and use it to indicate when a chat was sent by the host update the configuration of the people feature make it accessible in the interface if available the number of people is provided, allowing you to display this in the interface, for example as a badge on the button update the configuration of the polls feature make it accessible in the interface if available the state of unanswered polls is provided, allowing you to display an indicator in the interface, for example as an "unread" badge on the button update the configuration of the tipping feature make it accessible in the interface if available update the top insets of your interface to avoid underlapping other interface elements make the chat input toolbar visible dismiss the chat input toolbar dismiss the keyboard if it is visible handle the backlog of chats and tips to display them in your interface handle new chats, tips, and reactions to insert them into your interface this function is called periodically to give you the opportunity to handle the pending items return true if handled or false if not if not handled, the same items will be provided in the next invocation remove a chat by id remove a tip by id remove a reaction by chat id, user id, and type chat handler delegate the hmchathandlerdelegateprotocol defines functions your hmchathandlerimplementation calls to get information and inform hotmic when various events occur asks the delegate if the handler can display the chat input toolbar asks the delegate if the currently authenticated user can moderate another

invoked the polls feature inform the delegate the handler invoked the tipping feature get chat reactions you can fetch reaction details for a specific chat use this to create an interface that lists people who reacted and which reaction they chose if you provide a custom view controller for chat breaking changes replaced playerviewcontroller( , viewcontrollerforcontext ) with playerviewcontrollerchatconfiguration( ) removed hmplayerviewcontroller customcontentcontext how custom content works we have supported custom content in previous versions, allowing you to implement your own video player to display stream content, in lieu of the hotmic default video player the code to do that looked something like this you can continue to use custom video players as before, but now you can now further customize the content on the player screen you can now edit the section below the player, which typically includes chat content to do this, you can provide your own view controller, which means all the content in the view controller (effectively everything below the player) is customized the following function is called allowing you to provide a custom view controller to display in a given context return nil if you'd like to use the default view controller at this time, this feature should be considered beta you can add your own content to the view controller, but don't have information from hotmic (yet) to reproduce all existing features in an upcoming release, you will get an interface to interact with data from the stream this includes chats, reactions, and more this will allow you to build a completely alternate interface with all the features of the default hotmic provided view controller update instructions to update to this version, run pod update hotmicmediaplayer feb 23, 2024 android sdk version 1 9 0 alpha1 features custom content improvements (beta) you can now replace the view area below the player with your own content, completely customizable to you how custom content works we have supported custom content in previous versions, allowing you to implement your own video player to display stream content, in lieu of the hotmic default video player this still exists now, the sdk will allow you to replace the default chat fragment shown under the player with your own custom fragment for this, while calling the player, provide a custom fragment using the api setchatfragment a sample builder call will look something like at this time, this feature should be considered alpha you can add your own fragment, but don't have information from hotmic (yet) to reproduce all existing features in an upcoming release, you will get an interface to interact with data from the stream this includes chats, reactions, and more this will allow you to build a completely alternate interface with all the features of the default hotmic provided fragment upcoming releases will complete the ability to customize this view, including allowing you to have you own layout, and specify where the player, chat and other fragments should be shown for example, you can choose to remove the chat fragment or place the player fragment in a separate area of the screen or shrink the chat layout and introduce a new custom panel in between we will expose the chat apis and related data, using which, you can build and style your own custom chat fragment update instructions to update to this version, make sure that your build gradle(app) includes the following dependency implementation 'io hotmic player\ hotmic android sdk 1 9 0 alpha1'
