Loading View

The only view of the biometric match flow is the loading view, it appears when the feature is initializing. In this step, a service is called so that the biometric match is done on the server side.

Biometric Match Example

It contains a title(1), a message(2), an image(3) and a background that can be customized.

Branding

You can apply your own branding to our screens by overriding the resources we use.

Text resources

You can add your own texts and localization by overriding the following string resources:

<string name="biometric_face_match_title_sdk_enrolment">We’re checking your information</string>
<string name="common_loading_message_sdk_enrolment">This will only take a moment</string>

The best way to override strings is by adding your key through the Theme class

Theme.shared.strings.faceMatch.loadingTitle.localized()
Theme.shared.strings.faceMatch.loadingMessage.localized()

Colors

You can change the text colors by overriding the following color resource (It affects all texts):

<color name="colorFaceCaptureTxtDarkSdkEnrolment">#1A1C1E</color>

You can change the background color by overriding the following color resource:

<color name="colorOverlayFeedbackBgSdkEnrolment">#EAEEF6</color>

You can change the text colors by overriding the following color in Theme class (It affects all Loading Screens):

Theme.shared.colors.checkPermission.title
Theme.shared.colors.checkPermission.subtitle

You can change the background color by overriding the following color in Theme class(It affects all Loading Screens):

Theme.shared.colors.checkPermission.background

Styles

You can extend the styles we use and override any properties (textColor, textSize, fontFamily, etc...) you want.

<style name="Theme.Sdk.Enrolment.TextView.Dark.Title.Centered">
<style name="Theme.Sdk.Enrolment.TextView.Dark.Subtitle.Centered">
Note: It will affect every component that uses the same style.

You can change the font through the theme class (this will affect all text in the app):

Theme.shared.fonts.bold
Theme.shared.fonts.regular

Image

You can change the loading image by adding a drawable with this name:

ic_verification_loading.xml
The image we are using is 240x240dp.

You can change the loading image by overriding the following image name in Theme class

Theme.shared.images.faceMatch.matchLoading

Use your own layouts

To use your own loading screen for face match feature, you need to implement the MobileID SDK Interface for that view.

In this case: ICustomBiometricFaceMatch.LoadingView

interface LoadingView {
    fun onPreFeatureLoading()
    fun onServerCommunication()
    fun onPreparingFeature()
    fun hideLoading()
}
You can use the functions above to change loading screen texts in runtime, or you can opt to ignore those functions.

For example create a class BiometricMatchLoadingCustomView, create a layout file and bind it.

class BiometricMatchLoadingCustomView (
    context: Context
) : LinearLayoutCompat(context), ICustomBiometricFaceMatch.LoadingView {
    private var binding: ViewBiometricMatchLoadingBinding

    init {
        binding = ViewBiometricMatchLoadingBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(context), this)
        orientation = VERTICAL
        gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    }

    override fun onPreFeatureLoading() {
        // Do nothing
    }

    override fun onServerCommunication() {
        binding.tvFaceMatchLoadingTitle.text = "Initializing Biometric Match"
        binding.tvFaceMatchLoadingMessage.text = "Loading, please wait.."
    }

    override fun onPreparingFeature() {
        binding.tvFaceMatchLoadingTitle.text = "Matching biometrics"
        binding.tvFaceMatchLoadingMessage.text = "Please wait.."
    }

    override fun hideLoading() {
        // Do nothing
    }
}

You need to register a class of type BiometricMatchLoadingViewType through the following function of EnrolmentViewRegister

public func registerBiometricMatchLoadingView(_ viewType: BiometricMatchLoadingViewType)

The BiometricMatchLoadingViewType class needs to respect the following protocols:

public protocol BiometricMatchLoadingViewInterface : FeatureLoadingViewInterface {
    func onPreparingFeature()
}   

public typealias BiometricMatchLoadingViewType = BiometricMatchLoadingView.Type
public typealias BiometricMatchLoadingView = UIView & BiometricMatchLoadingViewInterface

public protocol FeatureLoadingViewInterface {
    func onPreFeatureLoading()
    func onPostFeatureLoading()
    func hideLoading()
}

public typealias FeatureLoadingViewType = FeatureLoadingView.Type
public typealias FeatureLoadingView = UIView & FeatureLoadingViewInterface

Example:

class LoadingView: LoadingOverlayView {
// MARK: - Initialization

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        //add any UI customization you need
    }

// MARK: - Functions

    func onPreparingFeature() {
        //add any UI customization you need
    }

    func onPreFeatureLoading() {
        //add any UI customization you need
    }

    func onPostFeatureLoading() {
        //add any UI customization you need
    }

    func hideLoading() {
        //You can stop animations or other activities that consumes resources 
    }
}
