Media Attachment Guide

Media Attachment is a general purpose class used across GetSocial SDK to attach images, videos and GIFs.

Supported Formats and Size Limitations

	Supported Formats	Size Limitation
Images	jpg, png, webp, cr2, tif, bmp	20 Mb
GIFs	gif	20 Mb
Videos	mp4, m4v, mkv, webm, mov, avi, wmv, mpg, flv, 3gp	20 Mb

If media size is bigger than the size limitation -it is ignored.

Attach Images

The image can be attached as a binary file, or as URL reference. Binary files are uploaded to GetSocial backend and optimized to serve back to the SDK.

Android

val activityImage : Bitmap = ... // Load image here
val imageAttachment = MediaAttachment.image(activityImage)

val urlAttachment = MediaAttachment.imageUrl("https://docs.getsocial.im/images/logo.png")

iOS

let postImage: UIImage = ... // Load image here
let imageAttachment = MediaAttachment.image(postImage);

let urlAttachment = MediaAttachment.imageUrl("https://docs.getsocial.im/images/logo.png")

Unity

Texture2D postImage = ...; // load image here
var imageAttachment = MediaAttachment.WithImage(postImage);

var urlAttachment = MediaAttachment.WithImageUrl("https://docs.getsocial.im/images/logo.png");

Flutter

var postImage = ...; // Base64 encoded image
var imageAttachment = MediaAttachment.withBase64Image(postImage);

var urlAttachment = MediaAttachment.withImageUrl('https://docs.getsocial.im/images/logo.png');

React Native

const postImage = ...; // Base64 encoded image
const imageAttachment = MediaAttachment.withBase64Image(postImage);

const urlAttachment = MediaAttachment.withImageUrl('https://docs.getsocial.im/images/logo.png');

Web

const postImage = ...; // Base64 encoded image
const imageAttachment = GetSocialSDK.MediaAttachment.withBase64Image(postImage);

const fileImage = ...; // File instance
const fileAttachment = GetSocialSDK.MediaAttachment.withImageFile(fileImage);

const urlAttachment = GetSocialSDK.MediaAttachment.withImageUrl('https://docs.getsocial.im/images/logo.png');

Attach GIFs

To attach GIF:

Android

val gifBinary = ... // Load gif as byte array
val gifAttachment = MediaAttachment.video(gifBinary)

iOS

let gifBinary: Data = ... // Load gif as Data
let gifAttachment = MediaAttachment.video(binary)

Unity

byte[] videoData = ... // load gif as byte[]
var gifAttachment = MediaAttachment.WithVideo(videoData);

Flutter

var base64Video = ...; // Base64 encoded video
var gifAttachment = MediaAttachment.withBase64Video(base64Video);

React Native

const base64Video = .../ Base64 encoded video
const gifAttachment = MediaAttachment.withBase64Video(base64Video);

Web

const base64Video = ... // Base64 encoded video
const gifAttachment = GetSocialSDK.MediaAttachment.withBase64Video(base64Video);

const fileVideo = ... // File video
const gifAttachment = GetSocialSDK.MediaAttachment.withVideoFile(fileVideo);

Attach Videos

Video can be attached as a binary file using the same method as for GIFs, or as URL reference. Binary files are uploaded to GetSocial backend and optimized to serve back to the SDK.
