Integrating SDK

This document shows you how to quickly integrate Beauty AR SDK.

Step 1. SDK Integration

Choose one of the following integration methods:
Manual integration(Resource embedding)
Manual integration(Dynamic download and integration)
Maven integration

Download the SDK

Download the SDK and unzip it. There are slight differences in the resource files in different package bundles. Please refer to the attachment for detailed instructions.
We recommend that you import the demo project in the package into AndroidStudio and run it to quickly familiarize yourself with the interface usage. Please refer to the demo run guide.

Integration

Add all the .aar files prepared above to the libs directory of the app project.
Copy all the files in assets/ of your SDK package to the ../src/main/assets directory. If there are files in the MotionRes folder of your SDK package, also copy them to the ../src/main/assets directory.
Copy the jniLibs folder to the ../src/main/jniLibs directory of the project.

Method to import

Open the build.gradle of the app module to add a dependency reference:
android{
...
defaultConfig {
applicationId "Replace it with the package name bound to the `lic`"
....
}
packagingOptions{
pickFirst '**/libc++_shared.so'
}
}

dependencies {
...
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar','*.aar'])// Add `*.aar`
}
Note:
You also need to add the following dependencies to the project:
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
implementation 'androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface:1.3.3'
implementation 'com.tencent.tav:libpag:4.3.33-noffavc'
}

Guide to dynamically downloading assets, so, and MotionRes

To reduce the package size, you can download the assets resources, so library, and animated effect resources MotionRes (unavailable in some basic edition SDKs) required by the SDK online. After successful download, set the paths of the above files in the SDK.
We recommend that you reuse the download logic of the demo. You can also use your existing download service. For detailed directions related to dynamic download, see Reducing SDK Size (Android).
The Beauty AR SDK has been released to the mavenCentral repository, and you can configure Gradle to download updates automatically.
1. Add the Beauty AR SDK dependencies to dependencies.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.tencent.mediacloud:TencentEffect_S1-07:version name'
//The version name can be found on the 'Version History' page of the official website, for example, 3.0.0.13.
//Alternatively, you can use 'latest.release', but please note that this will always keep your SDK up to date, which may not meet your expectations for some versions with significant changes. Please use 'latest.release' with caution.

}
2. In defaultConfig, specify the CPU architecture to be used by your application.
defaultConfig {
ndk {
abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a"
}
}
Note:
Currently, the Beauty AR SDK supports armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a.
3. Click

4. If your SDK edition includes animated effects and filters, you need to download the corresponding SDK package and add the resources for animated effects and filters to the following directories of your project:
Animated effects: ../assets/MotionRes.
Filters: ../assets/lut.

Step 2. Authenticate

1. Apply for a license and get the License URL and License KEY as instructed in License Guide.
Note:
Under normal circumstances, the authentication process can be completed by connecting your app to the internet one time, so you don't need to put the license file in the assets directory. However, if your app needs to use the SDK features without ever connecting to the internet, you can download the license file and put it in the assets directory. In this case, the license file must be named v_cube.license.
2. In the initialization code of the relevant module, set the URL and KEY to trigger the license download. Do not download it just before use. You can also trigger the download in the onCreate method of the Application, but this is not recommended as the download is very likely to fail if there is no network permission or if a network disconnection occurs.
// If you just want to trigger the download or update the license but don't care about the authentication result, you can pass in `null` for the fourth parameter.
TELicenseCheck.getInstance().setXMagicLicense(context, URL, KEY, null);
3. Authenticate when you need to use the beauty filter feature (for example, in the TEMenuActivity.java of the demo):
// If your `so` library is downloaded from the internet, set the `so` path before calling `TELicenseCheck.getInstance().setTELicense`; otherwise, authentication will fail.
// XmagicApi.setLibPathAndLoad(validLibsDirectory);
// If your `so` library is built into the APK package, you don't need to call the above method.
TELicenseCheck.getInstance().setTELicense(context, URL, KEY, new TELicenseCheckListener() {

@Override
public void onLicenseCheckFinish(int errorCode, String msg) {
// Note: this callback is not necessarily in the call thread
if (errorCode == TELicenseCheck.ERROR_OK) {
// Authentication succeeded
} else {
// Authentication failed
}
}
});

The license file has expired and needs to be renewed.
Others
Contact Tencent Cloud for assistance.

Step 3. Copy resources

1. If your resource files are built into the assets directory, you need to copy them to the app's private directory before use. You can copy them in advance or in the callback of successful authentication in the previous step. The sample code is in the TEMenuActivity.java of the demo.
// Assign `resPathSetting` to the `mResPath` variable in the following `copyRes` method
String resPath = new File(getFilesDir(), AppConfig.getInstance().getBeautyFileDirName()).getAbsolutePath();


// Copy resource files to the private directory. It must be performed just once
// Invocation should be executed in a child thread
public static boolean copyRes(Context context) {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(mResPath)) {
throw new IllegalStateException("resource path not set, call XmagicResParser.setResPath() first.");
}
int addResult = XmagicApi.addAiModeFilesFromAssets(context, mResPath);
LogUtils.e(TAG, "add ai model files result = " + addResult);
String lutDirName = "lut";
boolean result = FileUtil.copyAssets(context, lutDirName, mResPath + "light_material" + File.separator + lutDirName);
String motionResDirName = "MotionRes";
boolean result2 = FileUtil.copyAssets(context, motionResDirName, mResPath + motionResDirName);
return result && result2;
}
2. If your resource files are downloaded dynamically from the internet, after the download succeeds, you need to set the resource file path. The sample code is in the TEMenuActivity.java of the demo.
mXmagicApi = new XmagicApi(this, local path of downloaded resource files,new XmagicApi.OnXmagicPropertyErrorListener());

Step 4. Initialize and use the SDK

The following is the process of using the Beauty AR SDK:
1. Constructing Beautification UI Data, refer to the 'tebeautykit' module in the Demo project for guidance. (the code in the com.tencent.effect.beautykit.provider package).
2. Add the GLCameraView in the demo to the preview layout.
<com.tencent.demo.camera.camerax.GLCameraXView
android:id="@+id/te_camera_layout_camerax_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:back_camera="false"
app:surface_view="false"
app:transparent="true" />
3. (Optional) Quickly implement the camera feature. Copy the com.tencent.demo.camera directory from the demo project to the project. Use the GLCameraXView class to quickly implement the camera feature. For more information, see TECameraActivity.java of the demo project.
@Override
public int onCustomProcessTexture(int textureId, int textureWidth, int textureHeight) {
int resultTextureId = 0;
if (!isUseTencentEffect) {
resultTextureId = textureId;
} else {
resultTextureId = mXmagicApi.process(textureId, textureWidth, textureHeight);
}
return resultTextureId;
}
4. Initialize the beauty filter SDK. We recommend that you put it in the onResume() method of Activity.
//resPath is the path set in the first step of the second stage.
mXmagicApi = new XmagicApi(this, resPath,new XmagicApi.OnXmagicPropertyErrorListener());
Parameters
Parameters
Description
Context context
Context
String resDir
Resource file directory as detailed in Step 2.
OnXmagicPropertyErrorListener errorListener
Callback function implementation class.
Response
For the descriptions of error codes, see API Documentation.
5. Add the callback function for material prompt (method callbacks may run in child threads). Some materials will prompt the user to nod, stretch out their palms, or make a finger heart, and this callback is used to display the prompts.
mXmagicApi.setTipsListener(new XmagicTipsListener() {
final XmagicToast mToast = new XmagicToast();
@Override
public void tipsNeedShow(String tips, String tipsIcon, int type, int duration) {
mToast.show(MainActivity.this, tips, duration);
}

@Override
public void tipsNeedHide(String tips, String tipsIcon, int type) {
mToast.dismiss();
}
});
6. The beauty filter SDK processes each frame of data and returns the processing results.
int outTexture = mXmagicApi.process(textureId, textureWidth, textureHeight);
7. Update the value of the beauty filter effect of a specified type. For a detailed explanation of the method, see the API Documentation.
//Use this method for the 3.5.0 version and later
mXmagicApi.setEffect(String effectName, int effectValue, String resourcePath, Map<String, String> extraInfo)
8. Recover audio effects, it is recommended to call in the Activity's onResume() method.
// Restore the sound effects in the beauty, some material contain sound effects
mXmagicApi.onResume();
9. Pause the audio effects, recommend invoking the onPause() method in Activity.
// Pause the sound of the material, regardless of whether the material contains audio effects
mXmagicApi.onPause();
10. To release the beauty SDK, it needs to be called in the GL thread.
// Note that this method needs to be called in the GL thread
mXmagicApi.onDestroy()

Step 5. Configure obfuscation

If you have enabled compilation optimization (by setting minifyEnabled to true) when printing the release package, some code that is not called at the Java layer will be trimmed out and may be called at the native layer, causing a no xxx method exception.
If you have enabled such compilation optimization, add the following keep rules to prevent Xmagic code from being trimmed out:
-keep class com.tencent.xmagic.** { *;}
-keep class org.light.** { *;}
-keep class org.libpag.** { *;}
-keep class org.extra.** { *;}
-keep class com.gyailib.**{ *;}
-keep class com.tencent.cloud.iai.lib.** { *;}
-keep class com.tencent.beacon.** { *;}
-keep class com.tencent.qimei.** { *;}
-keep class androidx.exifinterface.** { *;}
