Engage SDK Watch: Third-party technical integration instructions

Google is building an on-device surface that organizes users' apps by verticals and enables a new immersive experience for personalized app content consumption and discovery. This fullscreen experience provides developer partners with an opportunity to showcase their best rich content in a dedicated channel outside of their app.

This guide contains instructions for developer partners to integrate their video content, using the Engage SDK to populate both this new surface area and existing Google surfaces.

Integration detail

Terminology

This integration includes the following three cluster types: Recommendation, Continuation, and Featured.

  • Recommendation clusters show personalized suggestions for content to watch from an individual developer partner.

    Your recommendations take the following structure:

    • Recommendation Cluster: A UI view that contains a group of recommendations from the same developer partner.

      Figure 1. Entertainment Space UI showing a Recommendation Cluster from a single partner.
    • Entity: An object representing a single item in a cluster. An entity can be a movie, a TV show, a TV series, live video, and more. See the Provide entity data section for a list of supported entity types.

      Figure 2. Entertainment Space UI showing a single Entity within a single partner's Recommendation Cluster.
  • The Continuation cluster shows unfinished videos and relevant newly released episodes from multiple developer partners in one UI grouping. Each developer partner will be allowed to broadcast a maximum of 10 entities in the Continuation cluster. Research has shown that personalized recommendations along with personalized Continuation content creates the best user engagement.

    Figure 3. Entertainment Space UI showing a Continuation cluster with unfinished recommendations from multiple partners (only one recommendation is currently visible).
  • The Featured cluster showcases a selection of entities from multiple developer partners in one UI grouping. There will be a single Featured cluster, which is surfaced near the top of the UI with a priority placement above all Recommendation clusters. Each developer partner will be allowed to broadcast up to 10 entities in the Featured cluster.

    Figure 4. Entertainment Space UI showing a Featured cluster with recommendations from multiple partners (only one recommendation is currently visible).

Pre-work

Minimum API level: 19

Add the com.google.android.play:engage library to your app:

dependencies {
    // Make sure you also include that repository in your project's build.gradle file.
    implementation 'com.google.android.play:engage:1.5.0-alpha'
}

To make the Engage SDK function for devices with Android 11 and above, declare the following in the manifest file:

<queries>
   <package android:name="com.android.vending" />
</queries>

For more information, see Package visibility in Android 11.

Summary

The design is based on an implementation of a bound service.

The data a client can publish is subject to the following limits for different cluster types:

Cluster type Cluster limits Maximum entity limits in a cluster
Recommendation Cluster(s) At most 5 At most 50
Continuation Cluster At most 1 At most 10
Featured Cluster At most 1 At most 10

Step 0: Migration from existing Media Home SDK integration

Map data models from existing integration

If you are migrating from an existing Media Home integration, the following table outlines how to map data models in existing SDKs to the new Engage SDK:

MediaHomeVideoContract integration equivalent Engage SDK integration equivalent
com.google.android.mediahome.video.PreviewChannel com.google.android.play.engage.common.datamodel.RecommendationCluster
com.google.android.mediahome.video.PreviewChannel.Builder com.google.android.play.engage.common.datamodel.RecommendationCluster.Builder
com.google.android.mediahome.video.PreviewChannelHelper com.google.android.play.engage.video.service.AppEngageVideoClient
com.google.android.mediahome.video.PreviewProgram Divided into separate classes: EventVideo, LiveStreamingVideo, Movie, TvEpisode, TvSeason, TvShow, VideoClipEntity
com.google.android.mediahome.video.PreviewProgram.Builder Divided into builders in separate classes: EventVideo, LiveStreamingVideo, Movie, TvEpisode, TvSeason, TvShow, VideoClipEntity
com.google.android.mediahome.video.VideoContract No longer needed.
com.google.android.mediahome.video.WatchNextProgram Divided into attributes in separate classes: EventVideoEntity, LiveStreamingVideoEntity, MovieEntity, TvEpisodeEntity, TvSeasonEntity, TvShowEntity, VideoClipEntity
com.google.android.mediahome.video.WatchNextProgram.Builder Divided into attributes in separate classes: EventVideoEntity, LiveStreamingVideoEntity, MovieEntity, TvEpisodeEntity, TvSeasonEntity, TvShowEntity, VideoClipEntity

Publishing clusters in Media Home SDK vs Engage SDK

With Media Home SDK, clusters and entities were published through separate APIs:

// 1. Fetch existing channels
List<PreviewChannel> channels = PreviewChannelHelper.getAllChannels();

// 2. If there are no channels, publish new channels
long channelId = PreviewChannelHelper.publishChannel(builder.build());

// 3. If there are existing channels, decide whether to update channel contents
PreviewChannelHelper.updatePreviewChannel(channelId, builder.build());

// 4. Delete all programs in the channel
PreviewChannelHelper.deleteAllPreviewProgramsByChannelId(channelId);

// 5. publish new programs in the channel
PreviewChannelHelper.publishPreviewProgram(builder.build());

With Engage SDK, cluster and entity publishing are combined into a single API call. All entities that belong to a cluster are published together with that cluster:

new RecommendationCluster.Builder<VideoEntity>()
                        .addEntity(MOVIE_ENTITY)
                        .addEntity(MOVIE_ENTITY)
                        .addEntity(MOVIE_ENTITY)
                        .setTitle("Recommendation")
                        .build();

Step 1: Provide entity data

The SDK has defined different entities to represent each item type. We support the following entities for the Watch category:

  1. MovieEntity
  2. TvShowEntity
  3. TvSeasonEntity
  4. TvEpisodeEntity
  5. EventVideoEntity
  6. LiveStreamingVideoEntity

Example

MovieEntity movie = new MovieEntity.Builder()
                  .setName("Avengers")
                  .addPosterImage(
                      new Image.Builder()
                          .setImageUri(Uri.parse("http://www.x.com/image.png"))
                          .setImageHeightInPixel(960)
                          .setImageWidthInPixel(408)
                          .build())
                  .setPlayBackUri(Uri.parse("http://tv.com/playback/1"))
                  .setReleaseDateEpochMillis(1633032895L)
                  .setAvailability(ContentAvailability.AVAILABILITY_AVAILABLE)
                  .setDurationMillis(12345678L)
                  .addGenre("action")
                  .addContentRating("R")
                  .setWatchNextType(WatchNextType.TYPE_NEW)
                  .setLastEngagementTimeMillis(1664568895L)
                  .build()

Step 2: Provide Cluster data

It’s recommended to have the content publish job executed in the background (for example, using WorkManager) and scheduled on a regular basis or on an event basis (for example, every time the user opens the app or when the user just added something to their cart).

AppEngagePublishClient is responsible for publishing clients. There are five APIs to publish clusters in the client:

  • isServiceAvailable
  • publishRecommendationClusters
  • publishFeaturedCluster
  • publishContinuationCluster
  • deleteClusters

API #1: isServiceAvailable

This API is used to check if the service is available for integration and whether the content can be presented on the device.

Task<Boolean> isAvailableTask = client.isServiceAvailable();

isAvailableTask.addOnCompleteListener(task - > {
    if (resultTask.isSuccessful()) {
        // Handle success
    }
});

API #2: publishRecommendationClusters

This API is used to publish a list of RecommendationCluster objects.

Task<Void> task =
        client.publishRecommendationClusters(
            new PublishRecommendationClustersRequest.Builder()
                .addRecommendationCluster(
                    new RecommendationCluster.Builder()
                        .addEntity(entity1)
                        .addEntity(entity2)
                        .setTitle("Recommendation")
                        .build())
                .build());

When the service receives the request, the following actions take place within one transaction:

  • Existing RecommendationCluster data from the developer partner is removed.
  • Data from the request is parsed and stored in the updated Recommendation Cluster.

In case of an error, the entire request is rejected and the existing state is maintained.

API #3: publishFeaturedCluster

This API is used to publish a list of FeaturedCluster objects.

Task<Void> task =
        client.publishFeaturedCluster(
            new PublishFeaturedClustersRequest.Builder()
                .addFeaturedCluster(
                    new FeaturedCluster.Builder()
                        .addEntity(entity1)
                        .addEntity(entity2)
                        .build())
                .build());

When the service receives the request, the following actions take place within one transaction:

  • Existing FeaturedCluster data from the developer partner is removed.
  • Data from the request is parsed and stored in the updated Featured Cluster.

In case of an error, the entire request is rejected and the existing state is maintained.

API #4: publishContinuationCluster

This API is used to publish a ContinuationCluster object.

Task<Void> task =
        client.publishContinuationCluster(
            new PublishContinuationClusterRequest.Builder()
                .setContinuationCluster(
                    new ContinuationCluster.Builder()
                        .addEntity(entity1)
                        .addEntity(entity2)
                        .build())
                .build());

When the service receives the request, the following actions take place within one transaction:

  • Existing ContinuationCluster data from the developer partner is removed.
  • Data from the request is parsed and stored in the updated Continuation Cluster.

In case of an error, the entire request is rejected and the existing state is maintained.

API #5: deleteClusters

This API is used to delete the content of a given cluster type.

Task<Void> task =
     client.deleteClusters(
            new DeleteClustersRequest.Builder()
                .addClusterType(ClusterType.TYPE_CONTINUATION)
                .addClusterType(ClusterType.TYPE_FEATURED)
                .addClusterType(ClusterType.TYPE_RECOMMENDATION)
                .build());

When the service receives the request, it removes the existing data from all clusters matching the specified cluster types. Clients can choose to pass one or many cluster types. In case of an error, the entire request is rejected and the existing state is maintained.

Error handling

It is highly recommended to listen to the task result from the publish APIs such that a follow-up action can be taken to recover and resubmit an successful task.

client.publishRecommendationClusters(
              new PublishRecommendationClustersRequest.Builder()
                  .addRecommendationCluster(...)
                  .build())
          .addOnCompleteListener(
              task -> {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                  // do something
                } else {
                  Exception exception = task.getException();
                  if (exception instanceof AppEngageException) {
                    @AppEngageErrorCode
                    int errorCode = ((AppEngageException) exception).getErrorCode();
                    if (errorCode == AppEngageErrorCode.SERVICE_NOT_FOUND) {
                      // do something
                    }
                  }
                }
              });

The error is returned as an AppEngageException with the cause included as an error code.

Error code Note
SERVICE_NOT_FOUND The service is not available on the given device.
SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE The service is available on the given device, but it is not available at the time of the call (for example, it is explicitly disabled).
SERVICE_CALL_EXECUTION_FAILURE The task execution failed due to threading issues. In this case, it can be retried.
SERVICE_CALL_PERMISSION_DENIED The caller is not allowed to make the service call.
SERVICE_CALL_INVALID_ARGUMENT The request contains invalid data (for example, more than the allowed number of clusters).
SERVICE_CALL_INTERNAL There is an error on the service side.
SERVICE_CALL_RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED The service call is made too frequently.

Step 3: Handle broadcast intents

In addition to making publish content API calls through a job, it is also required to set up a BroadcastReceiver to receive the request for a content publish.

The goal of broadcast intents is mainly for app reactivation and forcing data sync. Broadcast intents are not designed to be sent very frequently. It is only triggered when the Engage Service determines the content might be stale (for example, a week old). That way, there is more confidence that the user can have a fresh content experience, even if the application has not been executed for a long period of time.

The BroadcastReceiver must be set up in the following two ways:

  • Dynamically register an instance of the BroadcastReceiver class using Context.registerReceiver(). This enables communication from applications that are still live in memory.
class AppEngageBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
// Trigger recommendation cluster publish when PUBLISH_RECOMMENDATION broadcast
// is received

// Trigger featured cluster publish when PUBLISH_FEATURED broadcast is received

// Trigger continuation cluster publish when PUBLISH_CONTINUATION broadcast is
// received
}

public static void registerBroadcastReceivers(Context context) {

context = context.getApplicationContext();

// Register Recommendation Cluster Publish Intent
context.registerReceiver(new AppEngageBroadcastReceiver(),
new IntentFilter(com.google.android.play.engage.service.Intents.ACTION_PUBLISH_RECOMMENDATION));

// Register Featured Cluster Publish Intent
context.registerReceiver(new AppEngageBroadcastReceiver(),
new IntentFilter(com.google.android.play.engage.service.Intents.ACTION_PUBLISH_FEATURED));


// Register Continuation Cluster Publish Intent
context.registerReceiver(new AppEngageBroadcastReceiver(),
new IntentFilter(com.google.android.play.engage.service.Intents.ACTION_PUBLISH_CONTINUATION));

}
  • Statically declare an implementation with the <receiver> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file. This allows the application to receive broadcast intents when it is not running, and also allows the application to publish the content.
<application>
   <receiver
      android:name=".AppEngageBroadcastReceiver"
      android:exported="true"
      android:enabled="true">
      <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="com.google.android.play.engage.action.PUBLISH_RECOMMENDATION" />
      </intent-filter>
      <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="com.google.android.play.engage.action.PUBLISH_FEATURED" />
      </intent-filter>
      <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="com.google.android.play.engage.action.PUBLISH_CONTINUATION" />
      </intent-filter>
   </receiver>
</application>

The following intents will be sent by the service:

  • com.google.android.play.engage.action.PUBLISH_RECOMMENDATION It is recommended to start a publishRecommendationClusters call when receiving this intent.
  • com.google.android.play.engage.action.PUBLISH_FEATURED It is recommended to start a publishFeaturedCluster call when receiving this intent.
  • com.google.android.play.engage.action.PUBLISH_CONTINUATION It is recommended to start a publishContinuationCluster call when receiving this intent.
