Android Live Streaming UI Kit FAQs

What can I build with the Android Live UI Kit?

The Android Live Streaming UI Kit includes host, audience, and room-list interfaces. Connect these TUILiveKit components to your user accounts and Android navigation to create a complete viewing flow.

How does this UI Kit fit with the SDK?

The UI Kit provides interface components on top of the underlying service. Choose the SDK when you need more control over your own application UI.

How do I connect a Android live viewer to a broadcast?

Enable the Live service, authenticate the viewer, and join the room created by the host. Use separate accounts to test the Android audience screen and follow the platform guide for configuration.

How do I authenticate users of the Android Live Streaming UI Kit?

Create a UserSig on your server and pass it to the client after your own sign-in flow. Keep the application secret on your server.

Is the Android Live Streaming UI Kit free to use?

The interface and the hosted Live service have different roles. Activate the service for your application and review the current plan, feature availability, and usage charges.

How do I integrate Android Live Streaming UI Kit with Kotlin or Java?

Follow the Android project and manifest setup, then handle runtime permissions and Activity cleanup where required. Test on actual devices, including app background and foreground transitions.

How do I test Android Live Streaming UI Kit before releasing my app?

Test the host and viewer roles, supported publishing or playback events and reconnect behavior.

How do I customize the interface for Android Live Streaming UI Kit?

Use AnchorPrepareView's configuration methods for the Android go-live screen. For example, disableMenuBeautyButton(true) hides the beauty control, while disableFeatureMenu(true) hides the whole preparation menu. These methods target the preparation page; customize the in-stream AnchorView separately. Change labels through Android XML resources and replace drawable icons without changing their resource names, then rebuild and check the host flow.
