Feature MWC Demo

[dsilhavy]

This is a new UI for demonstration of 5GMS at MWC. It is mainly AI generated and the functionality is not yet fully tested. I am adding this as a draft PR for now while checking together with @jordijoangimenez if we can use this for MWC.

The core functionality of the 5GMS Aware application is untouched. It requires an additional metadata.json file with information about the content and the corresponding poster images. The mapping between entries from the m8.json and the metadata.json is currently being done via the name.

The input file to bootstrap the application is now a JSON configuration file that is bundled with the application:

{
  "sources": [
    {
      "name": "Docker",
      "m8Url": "http://192.168.178.56/m8.json",
      "metadataUrl": "http://192.168.178.56/metadata.json"
    }
  ]
}

However it is also possible to load a JSON configuration file from webserver via the settings

Adjusted description as I added JSON import and some additional UI changes

I've just realized when willing to change the source of m8.json, the following code is executed as if configUrl were empty. Debugging you see that configUrl is the URL introduced in the form. but config is empty.

In the following piece of code config.sources is always empty, ending up in the else and showing settings_load_empty

From SettingsActivity.kt - lines around 220

 configProvider.loadFromEndpoint(configUrl, iConfigApi) { config ->
                    runOnUiThread {
                        showLoading(false)
                        loadButton.isEnabled = true
                        appConfig = config
                        receivedSourceName = ""
                        if (config.sources.isNotEmpty()) {
                            populateSourceSpinner()
                            showStatus(
                                getString(R.string.settings_load_success, config.sources.size),
                                isError = false
                            )
                            Toast.makeText(
                                this,
                                getString(R.string.settings_load_success, config.sources.size),
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
                            ).show()
                        } else {
                            populateSourceSpinner()
                            showStatus(getString(R.string.settings_load_empty), isError = true)
                        }

@jordijoangimenez Thanks, not quite sure what you mean here. I tried loading an app_config.json via the settings menu and the option Configuration Source. That worked for me and the new Content Source items were appearing on the menu below. I also see the message "Loaded 2 source(s)" in the UI.

Switching between the content sources also updated the entries in the landing page for me.

[jordijoangimenez]

Question. Is this intended to be the m8json or the app metadata? I was trying to get m8

[jordijoangimenez]

If that URL is metadataUrl than I was mixing up with m8Url

[dsilhavy]

The Configuration Source input is for loading another app_config.json with the following format:

{
  "sources": [
    {
      "name": "Hosted",
      "m8Url": "http://192.168.178.56:8000/m8_hosted.json",
      "metadataUrl": "http://192.168.178.56:8000/metadata_hosted.json"
    },
    {
      "name": "Hosted 2",
      "m8Url": "http://192.168.178.56:8000/m8_hosted_2.json",
      "metadataUrl": "http://192.168.178.56:8000/metadata_hosted_2.json"
    }
  ]
}

The Content Source dropdown below then lets you select one of the defined m8Url endpoints. The entries defined in m8Url are then mapped to the entries in metadataUrl via the name

Got it! My bad.
