Overview

Virtual Stadium Android SDK allows you to integrate our social betting platform directly into your Android application. The SDK provides native UI components built with Jetpack Compose and traditional Android Views, enabling a seamless betting experience for your users.

#Core Components

The Android SDK consists of three main UI components to provide a complete social betting experience:

#Chat Component

The Chat component is the primary interface where users can:

• Message the Community - Real-time chat with other users
• Share Bets - Share bet slips with the community
• Copy Bets - Copy bet slips from other users
• Flash Bets - Quick betting triggered by live match events
• Bet Insights - View AI-powered betting suggestions
• Match Events - See live match events in the chat feed

#Profile Component

The Profile component displays user information including:

• User statistics (bets shared, bets copied)
• Shared bet history
• User activity in the community

#Central Hub Component

The Central Hub component is a comprehensive social betting platform that combines all features:

• Profile Management - View and edit user profiles, manage followers
• Bet Feed - Community feed of shared bets with reactions and comments
• Search - Discover users and navigate to their profiles
• Notifications - Stay updated with bet shares, comments, and social activity
• Bet Sharing - Share your bet slips with the community
• Social Connections - Follow users and manage your social network

#Integration Flexibility

The SDK supports two implementation approaches to fit your app architecture:

#Jetpack Compose

Modern declarative UI for Kotlin-first Android development:

Chat(
    jwtToken = "<jwt-token>",
    channelId = "<channel-id>",
    languageCode = LanguageCode.EN,
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()
)

#Android Views

Traditional XML-based layouts for existing view systems:

<ag.sportradar.virtualstadium.uisdk.views.VirtualStadiumChatView
    android:id="@+id/chat_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
