The TUILiveKit Host Live Streaming Page provides a full-featured UI for live streaming scenarios. It supports the rapid deployment of core host capabilities, allowing you to efficiently integrate the live streaming workflow without worrying about complex UI and logic implementation.

Feature Overview

Pre-stream Setup: Supports various personalized configurations before the host goes live, including room name, background, video preview, beauty filters (beauty effects) debugging, audio effects debugging, and layout templates.
Co-Host Interaction: Supports real-time interaction (co-hosting) with viewers or other hosts during the live stream.
Audience Interaction: Supports rich interaction forms such as barrage (bullet screen) and gifts.
Live Room Management: Supports displaying the online user list and various management operations within the room, such as muting (banning) and kicking users.

Quick Start

Step 1. Activate the Service

Refer to the Activate Service document to enable the Free trial or official package.

Step 2. Code Integration

Refer to Preparations guide to integrate the TUILiveKit SDK.

Step 3. Add the Pre-stream Setup view

The AnchorPrepareView component already has built-in features for camera preview, audio effects settings, layout settings, and other functional configurations. You need to create and load AnchorPrepareView. The specific example code is as follows:
Kotlin
Java
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareView

class YourActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        // 1. Create and initialize AnchorPrepareView
        val anchorPrepareView = AnchorPrepareView(this)
        anchorPrepareView.init("live_1236666", null)
        
        // 2. Add AnchorPrepareView to the UI
        setContentView(anchorPrepareView)
    }
}
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareView;

public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // 1. Create and initialize AnchorPrepareView
        AnchorPrepareView anchorPrepareView = new AnchorPrepareView(this);
        anchorPrepareView.init("live_1236666", null);

        // 2. Add AnchorPrepareView to the UI
        setContentView(anchorPrepareView);
    }
}

Step 4. Add the Host Streaming view

The AnchorView component has built-in features for audio/video pushing (streaming), viewer co-hosting, live interaction, and live room management. You only need to create and load AnchorView. The specific example code is as follows:
Kotlin
Java
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.tencent.cloud.tuikit.engine.extension.TUILiveListManager
import com.tencent.cloud.tuikit.engine.room.TUIRoomDefine
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorboardcast.AnchorView
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorboardcast.AnchorViewDefine.RoomBehavior
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareViewDefine.LiveStreamPrivacyStatus.PUBLIC

class YourActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    lateinit var anchorPrepareView: AnchorPrepareView

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        anchorPrepareView = AnchorPrepareView(this)
        anchorPrepareView.init("live_1236666", null)
        setContentView(anchorPrepareView)
    }

    // Call this code after going live
    fun initAnchorView() {
        // 1. Create AnchorView
        val anchorView = AnchorView(this)

        // 2. Initialize AnchorView, where liveInfo is live room information and anchorPrepareView is your preparation page before going live
        val liveInfo = TUILiveListManager.LiveInfo()
        liveInfo.roomInfo = TUIRoomDefine.RoomInfo();
        liveInfo.roomInfo.roomId = "live_1236666"
        liveInfo.roomInfo.name = anchorPrepareView.state?.roomName?.getValue()
        liveInfo.isPublicVisible = anchorPrepareView.state?.liveMode?.getValue() == PUBLIC
        liveInfo.coverUrl = anchorPrepareView.state?.coverURL?.getValue()
        liveInfo.seatLayoutTemplateId = anchorPrepareView.state.coGuestTemplateId.getValue()!!
        // Room entry action:
        //    RoomBehavior.CREATE_ROOM: broadcaster creates a room
        //    RoomBehavior.ENTER_ROOM: Audience Enters Room
        anchorView.init(liveInfo, anchorPrepareView?.coreView, RoomBehavior.CREATE_ROOM, null)


        // 3. Add AnchorView to the UI
        setContentView(anchorView)
    }
}
import android.os.Bundle;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.tencent.cloud.tuikit.engine.extension.TUILiveListManager;
import com.tencent.cloud.tuikit.engine.room.TUIRoomDefine;
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorboardcast.AnchorView;
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorboardcast.AnchorViewDefine;
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareViewDefine;

public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    AnchorPrepareView anchorPrepareView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        anchorPrepareView = new AnchorPrepareView(this);
        anchorPrepareView.init("live_123456", null);
        setContentView(anchorPrepareView);
    }

    // Call this code after going live
    private void initAnchorView() {
        // 1. Create AnchorView
        AnchorView anchorView = new AnchorView(this);

        // 2. Initialize AnchorView, where liveInfo is live room information and anchorPrepareView is your preparation page before going live
        TUILiveListManager.LiveInfo liveInfo = new TUILiveListManager.LiveInfo();
        liveInfo.roomInfo = new TUIRoomDefine.RoomInfo();
        liveInfo.roomInfo.roomId = "live_1236666";
        liveInfo.roomInfo.name = anchorPrepareView.getState().roomName.getValue();
        liveInfo.isPublicVisible = anchorPrepareView.getState().liveMode.getValue() == AnchorPrepareViewDefine.LiveStreamPrivacyStatus.PUBLIC;
        liveInfo.coverUrl = anchorPrepareView.getState().coverURL.getValue();
        // Room entry action:
        //    RoomBehavior.CREATE_ROOM: broadcaster creates a room
        //    RoomBehavior.ENTER_ROOM: Audience Enters Room
        anchorView.init(liveInfo, anchorPrepareView.getCoreView(), AnchorViewDefine.RoomBehavior.CREATE_ROOM);

        // 3. Add AnchorView to the UI
        setContentView(anchorView);
    }
}

Step 5. Transition from Pre-stream Setup to Host Streaming

Combine this with Step 3 to implement the delegate events of the AnchorPrepareView component, completing the transition to the host streaming page. The specific example code is as follows:
Kotlin
Java
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareView
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareViewDefine.AnchorPrepareViewListener

class YourActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        val anchorPrepareView = AnchorPrepareView(this)
        anchorPrepareView.init("live_1236666", null)

        // 1. Add preview page click event listening
        anchorPrepareView.addAnchorPrepareViewListener(object : AnchorPrepareViewListener {
            override fun onClickStartButton() {
                // Handle the click event, switch the page to your broadcaster stream page, see the initAnchorView method in procedure 4
                initAnchorView()
            }
            override fun onClickBackButton() {
                finish()
            }
        })

        // 2. Add AnchorPrepareView to the UI
        setContentView(anchorPrepareView)
    }
}
import android.os.Bundle;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareView;
import com.trtc.uikit.livekit.features.anchorprepare.AnchorPrepareViewDefine;

public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        AnchorPrepareView anchorPrepareView = new AnchorPrepareView(this);
        anchorPrepareView.init("live_123456", null);
        // 1. Add preview page click event listening
        anchorPrepareView.addAnchorPrepareViewListener(new AnchorPrepareViewDefine.AnchorPrepareViewListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClickStartButton() {
                // Handle the click event, switch the page to your broadcaster stream page, see the initAnchorView method in procedure 4
                initAnchorView()
            }

            @Override
            public void onClickBackButton() {
                finish();
            }
        });
        
        // 2. Add AnchorPrepareView to the UI
        setContentView(anchorPrepareView);
    }
}

Customize Your UI Layout

Text Customization (String Resources)

TUILiveKit uses standard Android XML resource files to manage the text displayed in the UI. You can directly modify the strings that need adjustment via the XML file:


Icon Customization (Drawable Resources)

TUILiveKit uses the standard Android drawable resource folder to manage the image resources for the UI. You can quickly change the custom icons by replacing the resource files. When replacing, ensure that the new file names are consistent with the original file names.
