Layout Options

LayoutOption controls the visual layout and appearance of FwVideoFeedView widget. It determines how video thumbnails are arranged, spaced, and styled.

Overview

LayoutOption provides comprehensive control over the feed's visual presentation, including:

• Layout type (grid, horizontal, vertical)

• Column count for grid layouts

• Spacing between items

• Thumbnail appearance (rounded corners, play icon)

• Feed title positioning

• Background colors

Creating LayoutOption

Using Builder

val layoutOption = LayoutOption.Builder()
    .feedLayout(FeedLayout.GRID)
    .columnCount(3)
    .itemSpacing(8)
    .roundedCorner(true)
    .build()

Using DSL (Recommended)

val viewOptions = viewOptions {
    layoutOptions {
        feedLayout(FeedLayout.GRID)
        columnCount(3)
        itemSpacing(8)
        roundedCorner(true)
        roundedCornerRadius(12)
        backgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#F5F5F5"))
    }
}

Properties

feedLayout

Type: FeedLayout (enum) Default: FeedLayout.HORIZONTAL

Determines the layout type for displaying videos.

Values:

• HORIZONTAL - Horizontal scrolling row

• VERTICAL - Vertical scrolling column

• GRID - Multi-column grid

layoutOptions {
    feedLayout(FeedLayout.GRID)
}

columnCount

Type: Int Default: 2 Applies to: Grid layout only

Number of columns in grid layout.

layoutOptions {
    feedLayout(FeedLayout.GRID)
    columnCount(3) // 3 columns
}

Note: This property only affects grid layouts. It's ignored for horizontal and vertical layouts.

backgroundColor

Type: Int (color) Default: Transparent

Background color for the feed container.

layoutOptions {
    backgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#F5F5F5"))
    // or
    backgroundColor(Color.WHITE)
}

feedPadding

Type: FeedPadding (data class)

Default: null

Sets the padding around the feed container. This controls the spacing between the feed content and its container edges.

FeedPadding Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
start	Int	Start padding in pixels (left in LTR, right in RTL)
top	Int	Top padding in pixels
end	Int	End padding in pixels (right in LTR, left in RTL)
bottom	Int	Bottom padding in pixels

Tip: Use dpToPx() extension for density-independent values:

layoutOptions {
    feedPadding(
        FeedPadding(
            start = 16.dpToPx(),
            top = 8.dpToPx(),
            end = 16.dpToPx(),
            bottom = 8.dpToPx()
        )
    )
}

Use Cases:

• Add horizontal margins to prevent content from touching screen edges

• Create vertical spacing between feed and other UI elements

• Support RTL layouts with start/end instead of left/right

Note: Unlike itemSpacing which controls spacing between items, feedPadding controls the outer padding of the entire feed container.

itemSpacing

Type: Int (pixels) Default: 0

Spacing between feed items in pixels.

layoutOptions {
    itemSpacing(16) // 16 pixels between items
}

Tip: Use dpToPx() extension for dp values:

layoutOptions {
    itemSpacing(8.dpToPx()) // Convert 8dp to pixels
}

roundedCorner

Type: Boolean Default: false

Enable or disable rounded corners on video thumbnails.

layoutOptions {
    roundedCorner(true)
}

roundedCornerRadius

Type: Int (pixels) Default: 5 (when roundedCorner is true)

Corner radius for rounded thumbnails in pixels.

layoutOptions {
    roundedCorner(true)
    roundedCornerRadius(12.dpToPx())
}

Note: Only applies when roundedCorner is true.

showPlayIcon

Type: Boolean Default: true

Show or hide the play icon overlay on video thumbnails.

layoutOptions {
    showPlayIcon(true)
}

playIconWidth

Type: Int (pixels) Default: 24dp (converted to pixels)

Width of the play icon on video thumbnails.

layoutOptions {
    showPlayIcon(true)
    playIconWidth(32.dpToPx()) // 32dp play icon
}

feedTitlePosition

Type: FeedTitlePosition (enum) Default: FeedTitlePosition.NESTED

Position of the feed title relative to video thumbnails.

Values:

• NESTED - Title overlays the thumbnail

• STACKED - Title appears below the thumbnail

layoutOptions {
    feedTitlePosition(FeedTitlePosition.STACKED)
}

aspectRatio

Type: Double Default: 9:16

Custom aspect ratio for video items.

layoutOptions {
    aspectRatio(16.0 / 9.0) // 16:9 aspect ratio
    // or
    aspectRatio(9.0 / 16.0) // 9:16 aspect ratio
}

Note: If not specified, the SDK uses the 9:16 aspect ratio.

Thumbnail Selection Rules

Format Requirements - The SDK currently supports JPG format images only.

The SDK selects thumbnails according to the following priority:

1. The system will automatically extract a frame from the video and generate a default thumbnail matching the video's aspect ratio

2. When only a Vertical Image Poster or Horizontal Image Poster is uploaded The system will use the uploaded poster as the thumbnail

3. When both Vertical and Horizontal Image Posters are uploaded The Carousel component will automatically select the poster image that most closely matches its Item's aspect ratio as the thumbnail

Default Values

Property	Default Value
feedLayout	HORIZONTAL
columnCount	2
backgroundColor	Transparent
feedPadding	null
itemSpacing	0
roundedCorner	false
roundedCornerRadius	5 (when enabled)
showPlayIcon	true
playIconWidth	24dp
feedTitlePosition	NESTED
aspectRatio	9:16

Layout Type Examples

Horizontal Layout

Displays videos in a single horizontal scrolling row.

val viewOptions = viewOptions {
    layoutOptions {
        feedLayout(FeedLayout.HORIZONTAL)
        itemSpacing(12.dpToPx())
        roundedCorner(true)
        roundedCornerRadius(8.dpToPx())
    }
}

Vertical Layout

Displays videos in a single vertical scrolling column.

val viewOptions = viewOptions {
    layoutOptions {
        feedLayout(FeedLayout.VERTICAL)
        itemSpacing(16.dpToPx())
        showPlayIcon(true)
    }
}

Grid Layout

Displays videos in a multi-column grid.

val viewOptions = viewOptions {
    layoutOptions {
        feedLayout(FeedLayout.GRID)
        columnCount(3)
        itemSpacing(8.dpToPx())
        roundedCorner(true)
        aspectRatio(9.0 / 16.0)
    }
}

Product Gallery Grid

class ProductGalleryActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private fun loadProductVideos(productSku: String) {
        val videoFeedView = findViewById<FwVideoFeedView>(R.id.productVideos)
        
        val viewOptions = viewOptions {
            baseOptions {
                feedResource(
                    FeedResource.Sku(
                        channelId = "your_channel_id",
                        productIds = listOf(productSku)
                    )
                )
            }
            layoutOptions {
                feedLayout(FeedLayout.GRID)
                columnCount(3)
                itemSpacing(4.dpToPx())
                roundedCorner(true)
                roundedCornerRadius(8.dpToPx())
                showPlayIcon(true)
                playIconWidth(32.dpToPx())
            }
        }
        
        videoFeedView.init(viewOptions)
    }
}

Important Notes

• columnCount only affects grid layouts

• roundedCornerRadius only applies when roundedCorner is true

• Item spacing is in pixels - use dpToPx() for density-independent values

• Aspect ratio can be calculated as width.0 / height.0

• Background color affects the feed container, not individual thumbnails

• Layout changes require re-initializing the feed view
