Feature Overview

To facilitate customers' quick integration of the beauty effect and simplify the development of UI panels, we provide the beauty effect UI component: TEBeautyKit. It includes further encapsulation of the SDK and customizable UI panels, as shown in the figure below. If you do not need to use this UI, refer to No UI integration of Tencent effects.




Demo Project: TEBeautyDemo

Clone the demo project from GitHub, follow the instructions in the TEBeautyDemo/README document to run TEBeautyDemo, and then refer to this document for detailed steps on integrating the SDK with UI.

Integrate TEBeautyKit

Note:
This library only supports Tencent Effect SDK V3.5.0 and later versions.

Step 1: Add TencentEffectSDK dependency

Step 2: Add TEBeautyKit dependency

Source Code Integration (Recommended)
Maven Integration
Downloading AAR Integration
Copy the TEBeautyKit module from the demo project into your project, and modify the SDK package type and version number in tebeautykit/build.gradle to match the SDK package type and version number in Step 1.
implementation 'com.tencent.mediacloud:TencentEffect_S1-04:SDK version number'
Then add the dependency on the TEBeautyKit module in the relevant module of your app:
implementation project(':tebeautykit')
Add the dependency on the TEBeautyKit library in your app's dependencies. The SDK version number should match the version number in Step 1.
dependencies{
...
implementation 'com.tencent.mediacloud:TEBeautyKit:SDK version number'
}
Since TEBeautyKit also depends on components like Gson and OkHttp, you need to add the following dependencies:
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.9.0'
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.3'
implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.1'
}
Download TEBeautyKit (The downloaded file will be a zip file. Extract it to get the AAR file.)
Copy the tebeautykit-xxxx.aar file to the app project's libs directory.
Open the app module's build.gradle and add the dependency reference:
dependencies{
...
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar','*.aar'])
}
Since TEBeautyKit also depends on components like Gson and OkHttp, you need to add the following dependencies:
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.9.0'
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.3'
implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.1'
}

Step 3: Add the panel JSON file

Obtain the panel configuration file from the demo project's demo/src/main/assets/beauty_panel, or click here to download and unzip it. The file includes configurations for beauty, body beauty, filters, dynamic effect stickers, and segmentation properties. Select a set of JSON files according to your package type and place them in the assets/beauty_panel folder in your project (the panel_icon folder also needs to be placed in this directory).

The downloaded archive contains the files as shown above. Each package name corresponds to several JSON files. The table below explains each JSON file:
File
Description
beauty.json
Configuration file for beauty effect, shaping, image adjustment, etc.
beauty_body..json
Configuration file for body beauty
lut.json
Filter configuration file. Note: Since different customers use different filter materials, customers can configure according to the JSON structure after downloading (refer to JSON File Structure Description) and delete the default configuration.
makeup.json
Configuration file for full-face makeup style. Note: Since different customers use different materials for full-face makeup style, customers can configure according to the JSON structure after downloading (refer to JSON File Structure Description).
motions.json
Dynamic effect sticker configuration file. Note: Since different customers use different dynamic effect sticker materials, customers can configure according to the JSON structure after downloading (refer to JSON File Structure Description).
segmentation.json
Background segmentation (virtual background) configuration file. Note: Since different customers use different segmentation materials, customers can configure according to the JSON structure after downloading (refer to JSON File Structure Description).
panel_icon
This folder is used for storing images configured in the JSON file, and must be added.

How to Use TEBeautyKit

We strongly recommend that you refer to the TEMenuActivity.java and TECameraBaseActivity.java of the demo project's to understand how to integrate TEBeautyKit.

Step 1: Authenticate

1. Apply for authorization to obtain the license URL and license key. Please refer to the License Guide.
2. Set the URL and key in the initialization code of the related business module to trigger license download to avoid downloading temporarily before use. For example, in our demo project, the download is triggered in the onCreate method of the application. However, we do not recommend triggering it here in your project because network permission might not be available or there could be a high rate of network failure at this time. Please choose a more appropriate time to trigger the license download.
// If you only want to trigger the download or update the license without caring about the authentication result, input null for the fourth parameter.
//TEApplication.java
TEBeautyKit.setTELicense(context, LicenseConstant.mXMagicLicenceUrl, LicenseConstant.mXMagicKey, null);
3. Perform authentication before actually using the beauty feature (e.g., before launching the camera):
//TEMenuActivity.java
TEBeautyKit.setTELicense(context, LicenseConstant.mXMagicLicenceUrl, LicenseConstant.mXMagicKey, new TELicenseCheckListener() {

@Override
public void onLicenseCheckFinish(int errorCode, String msg) {
// Note: This callback may not be on the calling thread.
if (errorCode == TELicenseCheck.ERROR_OK) {
// Authentication succeeded.
} else {
// Authentication failed.
}
}
});

3018
The license file has expired. You need to apply for a renewal from Tencent Cloud.
Others
Please contact the Tencent Cloud team to deal with it.

Step 2: Set the path

//TEMenuActivity.java
String resPath = new File(getFilesDir(), AppConfig.getInstance().getBeautyFileDirName()).getAbsolutePath();
TEBeautyKit.setResPath(resPath);

Step 3: Copy resources

The resource files mentioned here consist of two parts:
The SDK model files, located in the assets directory of the SDK's AAR package.
Filter and dynamic effect resource files, located in the assets directory of the demo project, named lut and MotionRes respectively.
Before using the beauty effect, you need to copy the above resources to the resPath set in Step 2. If the SDK version is not updated, you only need to copy it once. After a successful copy, you can record it in the SharedPreference of the app, so that you do not need to copy it again next time. For details, refer to the copyRes method of TEMenuActivity.java in the demo project.
//TEMenuActivity.java
private void copyRes() { if (!isNeedCopyRes()) { return; } new Thread(() -> { TEBeautyKit.copyRes(getApplicationContext()); }).start(); }

Step 4: Initialize TEBeautyKit and add the view to the page

//TECameraBaseActivity.java
TEBeautyKit.create(this.getApplicationContext(), beautyKit -> { mBeautyKit = beautyKit; initBeautyView(beautyKit); });

public void initBeautyView(TEBeautyKit beautyKit){
TEPanelViewResModel resModel = new TEPanelViewResModel();
String combo = "S1_07"; //Set according to your package. If your package does not include a certain feature, the customer is set to null.
resModel.beauty = "beauty_panel/"+combo+"/beauty.json";
resModel.lut = "beauty_panel/"+combo+"/lut.json";
resModel.beautyBody = "beauty_panel/"+combo+"/beauty_body.json";
resModel.motion = "beauty_panel/"+combo+"/motions.json";
resModel.lightMakeup = "beauty_panel/"+combo+"/light_makeup.json";
resModel.segmentation = "beauty_panel/"+combo+"/segmentation.json";
TEUIConfig.getInstance().setTEPanelViewRes(resModel);
mTEPanelView = new TEPanelView(this);
mTEPanelView.setTEPanelViewCallback(this);
mTEPanelView.setupWithTEBeautyKit(beautyKit);
mTEPanelView.showView(this);
this.mPanelLayout.addView(mTEPanelView, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
The parameter in the TEUIConfig.getInstance().setTEPanelViewRes method is the JSON file in the src/main/assets/beauty_panel mentioned above. If you do not need a particular item, you can input null at the corresponding position.

Step 5: Use beauty effect

We assume you have already implemented the camera application, can start the camera normally, and can call back the camera's SurfaceTexture texture information to Activity for beauty effect processing, as shown below:
//TECameraBaseActivity.java
@Override
public int onCustomProcessTexture(int textureId, int textureWidth, int textureHeight) {
// The beauty effect SDK processes the textureId here, adds beauty effects and special effects for it, and returns the processed new textureID.
}
If you have not yet implemented the camera application, you can refer to TECameraBaseActivity.java in the demo project and use the GLCameraXView component to add it to your Activity's layout for quick camera preview:
<com.tencent.demo.camera.camerax.GLCameraXView
android:id="@+id/te_camera_layout_camerax_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:back_camera="false"
app:surface_view="false"
app:transparent="true" />
The beauty effect SDK processes each frame of data and returns the corresponding processing results. For detailed information on the process method, see the API Documentation.
//TECameraBaseActivity.java
@Override public int onCustomProcessTexture(int textureId, int textureWidth, int textureHeight) { return mBeautyKit.process(textureId, textureWidth, textureHeight); }

Step 6: Manage the lifecycle

Lifecycle method onResume: It is recommended to call it in the Activity's onResume() method. When called, it will resume the sound in the effects.
mBeautyKit.onResume();
Lifecycle method onPause: It is recommended to call it in the Activity's onPause() method. When called, it will pause the sound in the effects.
mBeautyKit.onPause();
Beauty effect release SDK: It is called when the OpenGL environment is being terminated. It needs to be called in the GL thread, and cannot be called in the main thread (Activity's onDestroy); otherwise, it may cause resource leaks and result in a white or black screen after multiple entries and exits.
@Override public void onGLContextDestroy() { mBeautyKit.onDestroy(); }

Step 7: Export and import beauty effect parameters

Export the current beauty effect parameters and save them in SharedPreference:
String json = mBeautyKit.exportInUseSDKParam(); if (json != null) { getSharedPreferences("demo_settings", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit().
putString("current_beauty_params", json).commit(); }
Next time when initializing TEBeautyKit, import this string to modify the default beauty effect:

Field
Description
downloadPath
If your filter materials are downloaded from the network, the local storage location for the download is configured here. This is a relative path, with the full path being the one set in TEBeautyKit.setResPath + the path set here.
resourceUri
If your material needs to be downloaded via a network, the network address is configured here, as in the third red box in the image above. However, if your filter material is local, configure the corresponding local address according to the image above.
Full-face makeup style

An additional field makeupLutStrength under extraInfo has been included in the full-face makeup style. This field is used to moderate the intensity of filters in the full-face makeup style (configure this if the full-face makeup style supports filter intensity modulation). Refer to the beauty effect parameter table for this field.
