Create an Android Application using our Rest API to show a list of available Streams.
When you tap on the stream you should show a video player that plays the stream video.
Create a Host Android Application that has a single activity playing a full screen video with the source:
https://buffup-public.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/video/toronto+nba+cut+3.mp4
That activity should utilize the custom View provided by the Android Library you will be creating a Part B to display content over it
We now want an SDK that the Android App Uses to display content (Buff's as we call them) over the existing video.
The host Android Application should use the SDK to simply show content over the existing video.
The SDK should expose a view that the host Application is adding over the video frame that displays the Buff content there
The SDK should have the following features
- Expose a view that the host App will add in the UI over the video stream to display the Buffs
- Handle all the business and UI logic to display the Buffs over the video in the view
The Buff UI should look like this:
The UI has 3 sections:
- Top Section that displays the Questions Sender Name and Image
- Middle section where we see the question and the countdown timer
- Bottom Section where we see the answers
The countdown timer should work and at the end if the user hasn't yet voted, the question should automatically hide
The number of answers can vary from 2 to 5, your UI should automatically adapt to the number of answers that the API delivers
If the user selects an answer, the timer should stop and you should hide the Buff after 2 seconds
The UI for this screen with the downloadable assets can be found here:

- An android application written in Kotlin and an accompanying SDK writen in Kotlin
- Demonstration of coding style and design patterns.
- Knowledge of common android libraries and any others that you find useful.
- Error handling.
- Any form of unit or integration testing you see fit.
- The application must run on Android 5.0 and above.
- The application must compile and run in Android Studio.
- Clone this repository
- Create a public repo in github, bitbucket or a suitable alternative and provide a link to the repository.
- Provide a readme in markdown which details your code and any libraries that you may have used.
This a brief summary of the api endpoints you will need in order to create the App and the SDK. There a lot of other additional properties from the json responses that are not relevant, but you must use these endpoints to retrieve the information needed for this task.
The base URL for the staging environment is https://buffup.proxy.beeceptor.com.
Gets the data for the Buff to show
GET /buffs/:buffId
Buff Id is the id of the buff to fetch
In the sample Rest API Buffs with Id's 1 to 5 are available
Sample response:
{
"result": {
"id": 155,
"client_id": 1,
"stream_id": 1,
"time_to_show": 10,
"priority": 3,
"created_at": "2020-01-31T22:19:43.180391Z",
"author": {
"first_name": "Pedro",
"last_name": "Luz"
},
"question": {
"id": 155,
"title": "Ball Circle Personal Loan Account impactful",
"category": 1
},
"answers": [
{
"id": 387,
"buff_id": 0,
"title": "324324"
},
{
"id": 388,
"buff_id": 0,
"title": "wqewqewq"
}
],
"language": "en"
}
}
Using the above URL's to fetch the various Buffs, request the Buffs every 30 seconds (from 1 to 5) and display them over the video stream.
The Buff should be displayed with a countdown timer matching the time in the time_to_show field of each Buff.
If the user votes before the end of the timer (taps on an answer), you should freeze the timer and hide the Buff after 2 seconds.
If the timer expires and the user doesn't vote, you should hide the Buff.
If the user manually closes the Buff by tapping on the top right x close button, you should hide the Buff.
Good luck!
