SurfaceViewRenderer to HMSVideoView

Why should you migrate?

• HMSVideoView provides a better abstraction to render live video and handles edge cases like managing release and init state. Can prevent accidentally subscribing to video track more than once.
• Has in-built support for zoom and pan
• Has in-built support to intelligently subscribe to video of the correct resolution. (Auto-Simulcast)
• All the new features will be developed on HMSVideoView and SurfaceViewRenderer will be deprecated.

Minimum Requirements

• SDK version 2.5.3 or higher

To use HMSVideoView you'll need to migrate from SurfaceViewRenderer (if you are already using it to render live video), by downloading the dependency from Maven Central

Adding the HMSVideoView

dependencies {
    def hmsVersion = "x.x.x"
    implementation "live.100ms:video-view:$hmsVersion" // HMSVideoView
}

Updating the layout

<o̶r̶g̶.̶W̶e̶b̶R̶T̶C̶.̶S̶u̶r̶f̶a̶c̶e̶V̶i̶e̶w̶R̶e̶n̶d̶e̶r̶e̶r̶
 live.hms.videoview.HMSVideoView
  android:id="@+id/peerVideo"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Initalising and adding video track

val hmsVideoTrack : HMSVideotrack = hmsPeer.videoTrack
