Standalone player

This option allows you to trigger at will our stories player, from a button click for example.

Layout​

You first need to add our player view within your Activity/Fragment layout:

<com.joinstoriessdk.androidsdk.ui.player.StoryPlayer
    android:id="@+id/story_player"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:translationZ="16dp"
    android:visibility="gone"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

Visibility is hidden by default, and will be handled by the SDK whenever triggered and stories are loaded.

TranslationZ could be usefull to ensure it will be displayed over your other screen widgets.

Trigger​

From your view, you can start the stories fetching and the player display. To do this, you need to call the startPlayer method:

storyPlayer.startPlayer(joinAlias = "<join_alias>", timeout: Int? = 10)
