Telegram is hosting a contest for Android developers to enhance and upgrade the in-chat camera.
THE TASK
Adapt the existing in-chat camera with the camera for Stories, including all its features:
– Collages;
– Dual Camera Mode;
– Front Camera Flash;
– Widgets (for interactive widgets, i.e., reactions or links, your app may just apply a non-interactive entity over the canvas)...
Your implementation must remove any story-related restrictions or controls. Specifically, your app must not impose a limit on video length and should exclude interface controls that are only relevant for stories. Your app must retain the existing in-chat camera interface and flow before user opens the camera (i.e., the preview within the attachment menu).
Contest Requirements:
General
– Your app must provide a consistent and smooth recording experience that aligns with the device's native camera app.
– No third-party UI frameworks are allowed.
– The submission must be consistent with the existing Telegram for Android codebase.
– The app's stability and performance must not be affected with the changes you made.
– The app must be free of significant flaws (including crashes, visual glitches, noticeable element blinking, layout errors, and more).
Note:
Submissions that introduce improvements to video recording are likely to receive higher scores in this contest.
Evaluation:
During the evaluation stage, we will review your code and test the submission on a wide range of Android devices.
