CoHostStore

Introduction

Cross-room connection feature allows hosts from different live rooms to interact in real-time. CoHostStore provides a comprehensive set of APIs to manage the entire cross-room connection lifecycle.
Important:
Always use the factory method CoHostStore.create with a valid live room ID to create a CoHostStore instance. Do not attempt to initialize directly.
Note:
Connection state updates are delivered through the coHostState publisher. Subscribe to it to receive real-time updates about connection status, connected hosts, invitations and applications.
Warning:
If a connection request does not receive a response within the specified timeout, the timeout event will be triggered. Always handle timeout scenarios in your UI.

Features

Bidirectional Connection:Hosts can initiate connection requests to other hosts, and also receive connection requests from other hosts
State Management:Real-time tracking of connection status, connected hosts, invitation list and applicants
Event-Driven Architecture:Provides connection event stream for monitoring various connection state changes
Layout Templates:Supports multiple connection layout templates, such as dynamic grid layout and 1-to-6 layout

Connection Operations

requestHostConnection

Initiate host connection request
abstract fun requestHostConnection(
targetHostLiveID: String?,
layoutTemplate: CoHostLayoutTemplate,
timeout: Int,

Usage Example

// Create store instance
val store = CoHostStore.create("live_room_123")

// Subscribe to state changes
lifecycleScope.launch {
store.coHostState.coHostStatus.collect { status ->
println("Connection status: $status")
}
}

lifecycleScope.launch {
store.coHostState.connected.collect { connected ->
println("Connected hosts: ${connected.size}")
}
}

// Add connection event listener
store.addCoHostListener(object : CoHostListener() {
override fun onCoHostRequestReceived(inviter: SeatUserInfo, extensionInfo: String) {
println("Received connection request from ${inviter.userName}")
// Show accept/reject UI
}
override fun onCoHostRequestAccepted(invitee: SeatUserInfo) {
println("Connection request accepted by ${invitee.userName}")
}
override fun onCoHostUserJoined(userInfo: SeatUserInfo) {
println("Host ${userInfo.userName} joined connection")
}
})

// Initiate connection request
store.requestHostConnection(
targetHostLiveID = "target_live_id",
layoutTemplate = CoHostLayoutTemplate.HOST_DYNAMIC_GRID,
timeout = 30,
extraInfo = "",
completion = { code, message ->
if (code == 0) {
println("Connection request sent successfully")
