Embedded Moments Guide

In this article, we will introduce how you can add TapTap Embedded Moments to your game. Embedded Moments depends on TapTap Login, which requires the TapMoment module.

Installing SDK

info

• If you are using TapTap Login without other TDS cloud services, please see Using Embedded Moments Without TDS Cloud Services for how to initialize your app and install the SDK.

If you are coming from TapSDK Quickstart and have already initialized the SDK, you can add the TapMoment module of the TapSDK obtained from the Downloads page:

Unity

"dependencies":{
  ...
  // Embedded Moments
  "com.taptap.tds.moment":"https://github.com/TapTap/TapMoment-Unity.git#3.29.4",
}

Android

repositories{  
    flatDir {  
        dirs 'libs'  
    }  
}  
dependencies {  
    ... 
    implementation (name:'TapMoment_3.29.4', ext:'aar') // TapTap Embedded Moments
}

iOS

// Embedded Moments
TapMomentResource.bundle
TapMomentSDK.framework

Setting up Callbacks

You can set up a callback to capture status updates:

Unity

TapMoment.SetCallback((code, msg) => {
  Debug.Log(code + "---" + msg);
});

Android

TapMoment.setCallback(new TapMoment.TapMomentCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onCallback(int code, String msg) {

    }
});

iOS

@interface ViewController ()<TapMomentDelegate>
@end

[TapMoment setDelegate:self];
- (void)onMomentCallbackWithCode:(NSInteger)code msg:(NSString *)msg
{
  NSLog (@"msg:%@, code:%i", msg, code);
}

The code in the callback function refers to the type of the event. The following types of events are supported:

Callback	Value	Description
CALLBACK_CODE_PUBLISH_SUCCESS	10000	Moment posted successfully.
CALLBACK_CODE_PUBLISH_FAIL	10100	Failed to post the moment.
CALLBACK_CODE_PUBLISH_CANCEL	10200	The page for posting moments is closed.
CALLBACK_CODE_GET_NOTICE_SUCCESS	20000	Notifications retrieved successfully.
CALLBACK_CODE_GET_NOTICE_FAIL	20100	Failed to retrieve notifications.
CALLBACK_CODE_MOMENT_APPEAR	30000	Embedded Moments is opened.
CALLBACK_CODE_MOMENT_DISAPPEAR	30100	Embedded Moments is closed.
CALLBACK_CODE_CLOSE_CANCEL	50000	The user refused to close all the Embedded Moments pages (the “Cancel” button on the pop-up is tapped).
CALLBACK_CODE_CLOSE_CONFIRM	50100	The user confirmed to close all the Embedded Moments pages (the “Confirm” button on the pop-up is tapped).
CALLBACK_CODE_LOGIN_SUCCESS	60000	Logged in successfully.
CALLBACK_CODE_SCENE_EVENT	70000	Callback for scenario-based portals.

Retrieving Notifications

You can periodically call the API to retrieve unread notifications. When there are unread notifications available, you can display a badge on the button for Embedded Moments to remind the player to check the notifications.

Unity

TapMoment.FetchNotification();

Android

TapMoment.fetchNotification();

iOS

[TapMoment fetchNotification];

The result of retrieving unread notifications will be available in the callback function mentioned earlier. If you get CALLBACK_CODE_GET_NOTICE_SUCCESS (20000) for the code, that means the notifications are retrieved successfully. CALLBACK_CODE_GET_NOTICE_FAIL (20100) means the SDK failed to retrieve the notifications. If the notifications are retrieved successfully, msg will be the number of unread notifications. When msg is 0, it means there are no unread notifications.

tip

To make it easier for the player to view what you and their friends have posted, we suggest that you put the button for Embedded Moments on a prominent position in your game and retrieve unread notifications once a minute.

When retrieving notifications, if there are no unread notifications (msg equals 0), you can remove the badge displayed on the button. You should also remove the badge once the player opens Embedded Moments.

Displaying Embedded Moments

You can call the following API to display Embedded Moments in your game. Here the player can view the moments posted by other players and post their own as well.

Unity

TapMoment.Open(Orientation.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Android

TapMoment.open(TapMoment.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

iOS

TapMomentConfig *mConfig = TapMomentConfig.new;
mConfig.orientation = TapMomentOrientationDefault;
[TapMoment open:mConfig];

note

Embedded Moments might contain videos that have sounds. Therefore, please mute the sounds from the game itself when the Embedded Moments is opened.

To make Embedded Moments rotate along with the device, your game has to support rotation as well.

Don’t forget to remove the badge after the player opens the Embedded Moments.

The following picture shows how you can customize the background image of the Embedded Moments page in your game. The background image will be reviewed before the players can see them.

Scenario-Based Portals

With Scenario-Based Portals, the player can be taken to specific pages when they open Embedded Moments through them. Make sure to set up Scenario-Based Portals in TapTap Developer Center before you use this feature.

Unity

var sceneDic = new Dictionary<string, object>() { { TapMomentConstants.TapMomentPageShortCutKey, sceneId } };
// sceneId is the “portal ID” generated when you create a scenario-based portal in TapTap Developer Center
TapMoment.DirectlyOpen(Orientation.ORIENTATION_DEFAULT, TapMomentConstants.TapMomentPageShortCut, sceneDic);

Arguments

Argument	Description
orientation	The screen orientation for displaying the Embedded Moments.
page	Should be TapMomentConstants.TapMomentPageShortCut.
Dictionary	Leave TapMomentConstants.TapMomentPageShortCutKey as it is and change the third argument to the ID of the target page.

Android

Map<String, String> extras = new HashMap<>();
// Note: The key is always "scene_id" and the second argument is the “portal ID” generated when you create a scenario-based portal in TapTap Developer Center
extras.put("scene_id", "xxxx");
// Note: The second argument is always "tap://moment/scene/"
TapMoment.directlyOpen(TapMoment.ORIENTATION_DEFAULT,"tap://moment/scene/", extras);

Arguments

Argument	Description
orientation	The screen orientation for displaying the Embedded Moments.
page	Should be tap://moment/scene/.
HashMap	The key is always scene_id which indicates the ID of the target page.

iOS

TapMomentConfig *mConfig = TapMomentConfig.new;
mConfig.orientation = TapMomentOrientationDefault;
[TapMoment directlyOpen:mConfig page:TapMomentPageShortcut extras:@{ TapMomentPageShortcutKey: @"sceneid" }];

Arguments

Argument	Description
orientation	The screen orientation for displaying the Embedded Moments.
page	Should be TapMomentPageShortcut.
Dictionary	TapMomentPageShortcutKey indicates the ID of the target page.

Callbacks for Scenario-Based Portals

Properties

Field name	Type	Required	Description
sceneId	String	Yes	The ID of the scenario-based portal.
eventType	String	Yes	The type of the event, like VIEW, FORWARD, and VOTE.
eventPayload	String	Yes	Custom JSON string depending on the event type.
timestamp	Integer	Yes	UNIX timestamp in ms.

Event types

eventType	eventPayload (unserialized)	Description

FOLLOW	{ isCancel: boolean }	The user follows (or unfollows) a post.
COMMENT	{}	The user comments on a post.

Closing Embedded Moments

The player can close the Embedded Moments at any time to return to the game. In certain scenarios, the game itself can also request to close the Embedded Moments.

A case for the game to initiate a request to close the Embedded Moments is when the player is matched with another player to start a battle. Here you can confirm with the player whether they want to stay in the Embedded Moments or return to the game immediately.

Unity

TapMoment.Close("Are you ready?", "The game is ready to start.");

Android

TapMoment.closeWithConfirmWindow("Are you ready?", "The game is ready to start.");

iOS

[TapMoment closeWithTitle:@"Are you ready?" content:@"The game is ready to start." showConfirm:YES];

The player’s selection will be returned with a callback:

• CALLBACK_CODE_CLOSE_CANCEL (50000) means the player selected “Cancel” and wants to stay in Embedded Moments.
• CALLBACK_CODE_CLOSE_CONFIRM (50100) means the player selected “Confirm” and wants to return to the game.

To close the Embedded Moments without confirming:

Unity

TapMoment.Close();

Android

TapMoment.close();

iOS

[TapMoment close];

Quick Sharing

info

This feature is optional. You can choose whether or not to enable this feature in your game.

In general, the play can post their moments on the Embedded Moments page. But if you’d like, you can also allow the player to post moments containing images and texts without leaving the game.

Unity

string content = "This is the content";
string[] images = {"imgpath01","imgpath02","imgpath03"};
TapMoment.Publish(Orientation.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE, images, content);

Android

int orientation = TapMoment.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
String content = "This is the content";
String[] imagePaths = new String[]{"content://hello.jpg", "/sdcard/world.jpg"};
TapMoment.publish(orientation, imagePaths, content);

iOS

TapMomentConfig * tconfig = TapMomentConfig.new;
tconfig.orientation = TapMomentOrientationDefault;

TapMomentImageData *postData = TapMomentImageData.new;
postData.images = @[@"file://..."];
postData.content = @"This is the content";
[TapMoment publish:tconfig content:(postData)];

info

The player can post texts, images, and videos on the Embedded Moments page. However, they can only post texts and images with quick sharing.
