Social Link

This guide explains how to handle social media link click events in the Firework SDK.

---

Overview

When a video contains external media sources from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, the SDK displays corresponding social media icons and usernames on the video. When users click these links, you can:

1. Custom Handling: Open native apps, log analytics data, or execute other business logic

2. Default Handling: Let the SDK open the link in the browser

---

Quick Start

Setting Up the Listener

Set up the listener after SDK initialization (typically in Application or MainActivity):

import com.firework.sdk.FireworkSdk
import com.firework.videofeed.social.SocialLinkInfo
import com.firework.videofeed.social.SocialPlatform

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        // Set up social link click listener
        setupSocialLinkClickListener()
    }

    private fun setupSocialLinkClickListener() {
        FireworkSdk.social.setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener { info ->
            // info contains all click-related information
            Log.d("Firework", "Social link clicked: ${info.platform}")

            when (info.platform) {
                SocialPlatform.TIKTOK -> {
                    // Custom handling for TikTok links
                    openTikTokApp(info.username, info.url)
                    true // Return true to indicate you've handled it
                }
                SocialPlatform.INSTAGRAM -> {
                    // Custom handling for Instagram links
                    openInstagramApp(info.username, info.url)
                    true
                }
                SocialPlatform.YOUTUBE -> {
                    // Custom handling for YouTube links
                    openYouTubeApp(info.url)
                    true
                }
                SocialPlatform.UNKNOWN -> {
                    // Return false to let SDK open in default browser
                    false
                }
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        // Clean up the listener
        FireworkSdk.social.setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener(null)
        super.onDestroy()
    }
}

Best Practices

1. Clean Up Listeners

Remove the listener when Activity or Fragment is destroyed to avoid memory leaks:

override fun onDestroy() {
    FireworkSdk.social.setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener(null)
    super.onDestroy()
}

2. Handle App Not Installed

Always handle ActivityNotFoundException when trying to open native apps:

try {
    startActivity(appIntent)
    true
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
    // App not installed, fall back to browser
    false
}

FAQ

Q: What happens if I don't set a listener?

The SDK will use the default behavior and open the link in the system browser.

Q: Can I set listeners in multiple places?

No. Each call to setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener replaces the previous listener.

Q: Which thread does the callback run on?

The callback runs on the main thread (UI thread), so you can directly update the UI.

Q: How can I get more video information?

info.videoInfo contains complete video context including title, duration, channel, and more.

API Reference

// Social interface
interface Social {
    fun setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener(listener: OnVideoSocialLinkClickListener?)

    fun interface OnVideoSocialLinkClickListener {
        fun onVideoSocialLinkClick(info: SocialLinkInfo): Boolean
    }
}

// Set listener (using Kotlin SAM conversion)
FireworkSdk.social.setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener { info ->
    // handle click
    true // or false
}

// Remove listener
FireworkSdk.social.setOnVideoSocialLinkClickListener(null)
