Image Kit does not provide sticker and text art resources. You need to design and generate stickers and text arts in compliance with the specifications provided by Huawei. But Huawei supply sample stickers. You can find how to develop stickers and sample stickers in this link.
Today I will show you how to add, delete and save stickers to photos. Let’s start. First of all, please follow these steps to create an app on App Gallery.
When using Image Kit on a mobile phone where the HMS Core (APK) is installed, add the SDK dependency. When using Image Kit on a device where the HMS Core (APK) is not installed, add the fallback-SDK dependency. The service dependency configuration is as follows. Image Vision service:
- SDK:
com.huawei.hms:image-vision:1.0.3.301
- fallback-SDK:
com.huawei.hms:image-vision:1.0.3.301
com.huawei.hms:image-vision-fallback:1.0.3.301
The implementation of all APIs of the sticker service is based on StickerLayout, which is a custom view. The imported service package is com.huawei.hms.image.vision.sticker.StickerLayout, which can be directly integrated into the XML of the layout. Now, let’s create a layout file.
Download the sample stickers from this link and add your project as a assets .You can change some features in theme.xml file:
